Structural Integration (SI) is a somatic practice utilizing fascial manipulation, awareness, and movement education. It is practiced in an organized series of sessions and individual sessions within a framework designed to restore postural balance and functional ease by aligning and integrating the body in gravity. Structural Integration is based on the work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. (Source: http://www.theiasi.org/101e.php)

While graduation from a particular structural integration training program certifies a person in that "flavor" of structural integration, and often provides an active association to stay connected with other graduates, there is also a meta-organization that is working to develop connections between the graduates of different schools and enhance the profession of Structural Integration as a whole. - International Association of Structural Integrators
- The Certification Exam for Structural Integrators
In order to join the association as a Professional Structural Integrator or to sit for the certification exam, the school where you got your training must be IASI approved. |

Getting trained in Structural Integration is not like getting trained in Hot Stones - it can't be accomplished in a single weekend workshop. It's more like graduate school for bodyworkers. When you consider that a typical weekend workshop represents 16 CEUs, it would take 18.75 weekends (or 7.5 40 hour weeks) to acquire basic training in structural integration. Many go on to get advanced training, as well. The IASI (discussed in the previous article) created a set of minimum standards that a school had to meet for its graduates to be able to join the organization as Professional Structural Integrators. Those standards were also adopted for determining which schools graduates would be eligible to sit for the Certification Exam for Structural Integrators. The list of approved schools is found here: http://www.theiasi.org/about.php - School Training Requirements
- School Faculty Requirements
- The Schools, In Order by Date of Founding
