Preparation and Dress
On the day of your session please do not use any body lotion or oil before coming to your session. For what to wear for Structural Integration in a session for men I recommend running shorts (nylon outer shell with built in underwear lining). Bicycle and tight fitting shorts do not work well for the bodywork part of the session but are fine to use for the Pilates part.
For women I have a large selection of "tube tops" that are comfortable and easy to work around. Some women prefer a two piece bathing suit or bra and underpants. It is important to be comfortable in what you are wearing since we will be working in several sitting and lying positions and walking and standing before, during and after your session.
For the Pilates part of the session wear clothes that you can move comfortably in-tights, sweat pants, tank tops or any other type of clothing that stretches will work. I want to be able to see your alignment and how your are engaging your muscles so while loose fitting is o.k. baggy does not work as well. Pilates is done barefoot so no footwear is needed.
Photos are an option and can be very helpful for illustrating the Rolf Method of Structural Integration strategies. Photos are taken with a digital camera and not developed and viewed by the client and myself only. This can be an excellent tool and is instructive in the learning and education process.
