Structural Integration Bodywork
Reclaim your body!
My treatment approach is diverse. I try to look at each individual and put the puzzle together of what might be the deeper underlying cause of the situation at hand. For those seeking deep changes in the body, the work of Structural Integration (SI) or whats commonly known as Rolfing. SI is deep focused work given over a series of 3-12 sessions. ​


Structural Integration
Structural Integration is a goal focused therapeutic modality. This form of bodywork is ideal for those who have injuries, chronic pain, restrictions in movements or poor alignment in your posture that is inhibiting your health and wellbeing. We will assess your goals for change that you want in your body, take time for a detailed before and after assessment of your posture, range of motion and pain scale. Then outline a plan that has a start and finish to the treatment. This start and finish may be in one session, a series of 3 sessions or optimally the traditional 12 session series. After this form of bodywork you are asked to let your body settle into the changes and if needed do a follow up in 6 months to 1 year. It is suggested to go through the whole 12 series once every 10 years and do regular massage and your movement practices to keep things open and aligned.
Sessions last anywhere from 60-75min minutes.

I started seeing Melonie 10 months ago due to a severe shoulder problem, chronic pain and very limited range of motion. I had been to a number doctors and chiropractors, with little improvement, and had been advised that I may need surgery. My sessions included therapeutic massage and structural yoga.I now have nearly full use of my right arm and shoulder.
Thank you Melonie!

I found Vancouver Yoga Center while looking for a massage therapist. Melonie is the BEST. Not only are her rates more competitive than others, she is an amazing masseuse!
Tracey
The best therapeutic massage in Vancouver / Portland! After a long and exhaustive search, Melonie has been my massage therapist for over 4 years. She is amazing! My overall health has improved greatly from her massages! I simply can not recommend her enough.

I have been getting therapeutic massage by Melonie Nielsen for over 3 years now. I have to say I have had several other massage therapist's in the past, and Melonie is by far the best I have ever had. If you are looking for a regular massage therapist or just a one time relaxing massage, Melonie comes with a five star rating! You will leave with all your muscles relaxed and feel amazing!

Thank you again for helping me with my back issues this means a lot to me. It has taken me six years of trying everything and you
helped the most with three visits. I have not been to a chiropractor for four months which is a seven year record for me.
