STRUCTURAL MEDICINE

Structural Medicine is an advanced form of bodywork that uses myofascial release, postural analysis, extensive evaluation tools, and movement re-education to restore proper alignment and function to a client’s body, relieving injuries, chronic pain, and movement dysfunctions. To become a Structural Medicine Practitioner she completed a four year program at the Institute of Structural Medicine.

Each Structural Medicine session will include an extensive evaluation including postural analysis, myofascial length testing (which tests the movement availability of the fascia in your muscles), muscle strength testing, and movement history to determine patterns that may be causing pain and/or compensations through the body.

After thorough analysis the practitioner and client decide on a treatment plan to address symptoms and concerns. This includes fascial release, pin and stretch techniques, and occasionally movement training.

Dialogue between you and Megan is also an important factor in Structural Medicine. During the session, discussion may reveal stuck energetic patterns that could be contributing to your physical well-being.

MOVEMENT TRAINING

Fo now, Megan will no longer be offering full one hour personal training sessions. However, movement is often incorporated into a bodywork session. If you ask Megan to emphasize a section of each session to movement training, she will gladly provide her expertise in this area. This may look like suggestions on improving form for workouts, exercises to increase range of motion or strength, or daily exercises that are tailored to aid in what was worked on during your Structural Medicine session. She also offers 6 to 12 week at home workout programs.

  • “When I started seeing Megan for Structural Medicine, I was experiencing pain and restriction in many of my movements. Through Megan’s guidance, knowledge, and support, I am feeling incredibly better and can once again participate in activities I enjoy!”

  • “I have been lucky enough to have been working with Megan for almost three years now.

    The changes to my body have been gradual but amazing. We have been able to focus on various parts of the body like back, hips, shoulders, hamstrings, and ankles with a multitude of different exercises. Every week is a pleasant surprise. I have learned to use and feel muscles I didn’t even know I had. My posture has improved, I can actually touch my toes now (never been able to in my life), shoulders are looser, I walk better, and also gained strength. Two of the other amazing benefits I have received were learning how to really breathe and how to relax. These two things have proven to be invaluable to me!

    I give Megan my highest recommendation and know if you begin working with her you will feel that way too.”

  • “I went to see Megan for Structural Medicine due to a chronic hamstring issue that was giving me daily pain and preventing me from exercising. After my first appointment I was able to resume activity mostly pain free. I have continued to see Megan on a regular basis for a year or so working on my body as a whole with incredible results. My body feels the best it has in years!”

  • “ I have been a client of Megan’s for a couple years now. She is one of the most patient and encouraging coaches I have ever worked with. Megan has helped me recover from a shoulder injury and has taught me preventive ways to stay injury-free. She continues to motivate me every day. She is truly passionate about helping people reach their full potential.”
