application

Structural body therapy is a treatment area to understand human straightening in its psychosomatic context. It is used for physically chronic tension (e.g. back problems), for coping with stress and trauma symptoms, and for psychosomatic disorders. Based on the thesis that human straightening and the search for balance is caused by gravity , its goal is to create a "body structure" in which gravity is not felt as a burden, but as a supporting force.

This is achieved u. a. through conscious action on established movement patterns, through targeted grip techniques and various psychotherapeutic procedures.
