Structural Elements- (se) is a fusion of bio mechanically based structural bodywork and the tissue mapping and theory of five-element acupuncture. This synthesis manifests as a highly effective clinical modality used to normalize kinematic connective tissue irregularities that develop during abnormal strain. Clinical assessment often includes high-speed video motion analysis, static postural assessment and a functional strength test. Practitioners of Structural Elements posses a unique ability to locate focal adhesions not only at the site of pain but systemically, through their familiarity with kinetic patterns. The mapping of such patterns and the method of releasing these adhesions is what makes Structural Elements exceptionally powerful.
Treatment
A Structural Elements treatment consists of several components including Patient History, Standing Postural Assessment, Manual Therapy to Correct Structural Imbalances and more.
Video Gait Analysis
Through the use of high-speed cameras information not visible to the naked eye can be viewed, measured and played back at various speeds to both diagnose and correct mechanical challenges.
