What is Structural Integration? 

Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) is a hands-on manual therapy approach that works with the body's myofascial system to improve posture, movement, and overall function. Based on the concept of fascial lines, it views the body as a connected network rather than isolated muscles. ATSI practitioners use slow, intentional techniques to release restrictions and balance tension across the body's fascial system, aiming to improve alignment and ease of movement.

This work is typically performed in a series of sessions, each focusing on different regions and connections within the body. The goal is to create long-lasting changes in posture, relieve discomfort, and enhance body awareness by integrating movement and structural balance.

What’s the difference between massage and structural bodywork? 

Sessions start

We start with a conversation about your body history and an in depth visual body reading.  You will receive a welcome email, containing your history form, consent form, and covid compliance form.

In a Structural Bodywork session

You become an active participant in the process. It’s a collaboration between therapist inputs and your movement. It’s a type of spacial medicine designed to ultimately create a felt sense of whole body balance or centering or kinestetic awareness.  There will be times you will get up and walk around during the session.  

During the body reading

In order to see body patterns with anatomical specificity the ideal clothing would be underwear, sports bras, loose fitting shorts (like runners shorts), swim suits,  or bottoms and chest coverings that have the least amount of coverage along the spine.  Thats the ideal, however your comfort is priority.   While skin to skin contact is ideal, working over fabrics that are thin and soft are also options. 

Services

  • Structural Integration: 3 Series

    The 3-session series takes a more condensed approach, working across all fascial lines in relation to each other. It targets key movement patterns and major structural drivers, making it a highly efficient way to create noticeable change. While this offers a strong return on investment, it can sometimes be more intense for the nervous system due to its faster pace.

  • Structural Integration: 12 Series

    The 12-session series systematically maps each individual fascial line and its contribution to overall body patterning. The first eight sessions focus on specific fascial lines, exploring how each influences structural balance. The final four sessions (9-12) integrate previous work, reinforcing postural changes and solidifying long-term improvements. This method is ideal for those seeking a gradual, sustainable transformation with deep, lasting results.

  • Custom Therapeutic Session

    I combine my experience, knowledge, and education to create a fully customized session that meets your body’s unique needs. Using joint mobilization, stretching, trigger point therapy, acupressure, sports massage, and Active Release Technique (ART), I work to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function. Each session is designed to address structural imbalances while supporting your body’s natural alignment, movement, and long-term well-being.

What My Clients Are Saying

  • Amy is an amazing practitioner. She has been an integral part of the healing process for me after back surgery. She really understands the body. How it should be moving and identifying areas that need work. I tell her where I'm at and what I'm trying to achieve movement wise and she's able to form a plan of treatment to help get me there. On top of all this she has a very warm compassionate personality. I highly recommend her!

    DENISE

  • Amy and I partnered together a few times over a 6 week period of our Structural Integration training, and I enjoyed working with, and even just being in the room with her! She has an amazing awareness both in her touch and her presence: she can read the room, read a body's alignment and read the layers of tissue extremely well. Her touch sensitivity is so skilled that she seems to sense restrictions in the muscle and fascial tissue at a layer above where it's happening, making her very good at entering into and meeting the tissue where it's at, not over powering or forcing it into any unexpected/uncontrolled responses.

    JENI

  • RECUR Therapy is amazing! Amy has helped me regain mobility in my shoulder and get rid of pesky pains I've had. Can't recommend her enough! She will take the time to understand your body, how it moves, what issues there are, and what the game plan should be to feel healthy and pain free again! I've been to multiple massage therapist and physical therapists for my back, knee and foot injuries. None of them stack up to the results I got at RECUR. They are my new home for getting my body moving again!

    CHRIS

  • Amy is such a wonder to work with! She is diligent in providing excellent care by listening to my main complaints and assessing my body’s function to discover how to address the issues. She is deeply knowledgeable and is always actively learning and listening to understand. She has helped to restore movement, increase range of motion and decrease pain. 10 out of 10 would recommend her!

    CHRISTINE

  • I had been experiencing hip and hamstring pain for about a year. I tried physical therapy with little to no results for three months. I was referred to a specialist from my doctor who took X-rays and examined me. I was told I would need a new hip in the future and I would just have to try and mitigate the pain. A friend referred me to Amy at Recur. After 3 visits I am no longer experiencing any pain and I’m able to run again. As an added bonus she has increased range of motion in my shoulders and neck. I’d give her 10 ⭐️ if I could.

    SCOTT

  • Amy is easily the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She is very knowledgeable and continuing to learn. Not to mention that she is friendly and caring. I highly recommend her.

Your Structural Integrator

Meet Amy Dalton

17+ yr Veteran, former helicopter mechanic turn organic mechanic as my family would say. My massage journey morphed into my own healing journey.  By living an active lifestyle (army, power lifting, yoga, biking etc)  combined with the “push through” mentality, a knack for proving my strength capabilities and my ever changing lifestyle. I started to see injuries, life experiences, and even emotional experiences written on my body.  I was loosing my resilience, joy and love for life, as well as movement.  Which lead me to manual therapy. Massage was merely the first step, leaving me with curiosities of “why”, ultimately leading me to Structural Integration. Structural integration reads the WHOLE body, and places inputs through the system to integrate which makes deeper changes. In a sense, the process is an unraveling of life patterns, to bring back a sense of neutrality, and centering in the body. Ultimately it was a vehicle that helped me become more at home and safe within my body. Integrating parts of my body and experience I was disconnected from. This shifted into other areas in my life and restored my relationship with my body. We are no longer opposing forces, just a team exploring the vibrancy and joy of the world again.
