Repatterning the nervous system's habitual movement maps through gentle touch and movement.

Functional Integration® Sessions

Jill Truscott

Functional Integration® bodywork repatterns your nervous system’s habitual movement pathways. It helps people find ease, comfort, groundedness, and adaptability in their body and movement. FI™ offers concrete ways to develop one's understanding of how they use their body — in posture, everyday movement, and physical activity — so that they can work towards greater ease and efficiency, and avoid strain or damage. 

Functional Integration identifies habitual patterns that may be causing strain, tension, or be the underlying cause of injury, and establishes alternatives. The practitioner uses gentle touch to relieve excess tension, bring the client out of dominant habitual patterns, and then introduce new ones. FI creates space for new possibilities to emerge, rather than trying to "fix" a problem by counteracting it. Feldenkrais respects and works with the incredible intelligence of the nervous system as the path towards improvement, seeing the body as a partner, never as an obstacle.

Sessions are done with the client fully clothed, usually lying down, but sometimes in sitting or other positions that facilitate the objectives of the session. Functional Integration creates profound changes in the nervous system, and clients often report feeling a “nervous system reset” by the end of a session. At the same time, you will be an active participant, with the practitioner guiding your attention and asking you questions about what you sense in different movements. This is because the process of establishing new neural patterns is about learning, and the goal is to integrate the new information so that it can be put to use in your day to day life, and whatever activities you’re looking to improve.
