In biomechanics an integrated movement refers to the coordinated and synergistic action of multiple body segments, to produce a smooth, efficient, and purposeful motion In this video we can see a wonderful example of integration by tennis legend Novak Djokovic.
Notice how his feet, legs, pelvis, spine, shoulder girdle, arms and wrist work together. The result is a fluid movement that is extremely efficient and which minimises the risk of strain.
Integration can be practiced in your daily movements such as in walking, in sports, martial arts or yoga.
During a session of Rolfing Structural Integration, together we observe your walking gate, movement habits and restrictions.
We then determine adequate strategic movement practices, which combined with physical manipulations will ease tensions and facilitate integration.
Enjoy the video! Alain
