One on One Manual Therapy Treatment
Moira combines physical therapy, manual techniques and structural integration work to help get to the ‘root’ cause of one’s dysfunction that is causing pain or loss of function. She has a variety of skills in her toolbox including peripheral joint and spinal mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, active fascial release, muscle energy, and structural integration manual techniques. She may also incorporate cupping, dry needling and kinesiotaping as needed. She offers pilates based exercises to help reinforce postural awareness and support of the work done.
3-Series Structural Integration
A great introduction to structural integration work. These three structural integration sessions can help discover possible causes of difficulties in troubled areas that may have been overlooked in the past.
*I may recommend additional sessions to cover troubled areas in more depth.
Session 1: Focus on the lower body to the pelvic girdle
Session 2: Target upper body and shoulder girdle
Session 3: Focus on the spine connecting shoulder and pelvic girdle
6-8 Series Structural Integration - Moira is offering this series for those individuals that do not want to commit to the 12-Series, but still want the opportunity to explore troubled areas to help find more balance in the body and improve postural alignment. The first two sessions will focus on differentiating the superficial fascial lines of the body. The next two to three sessions will dive deeper into the core muscles. The final two sessions will consist of the integration of the superficial and deep core fascial meridians to help the individual find more balance in their body.
12-Series Structural Integration - (12 sessions)
It is a process of exploring the structure and function of the body as a whole. It has a beginning, middle, and end to it. Each session builds on the other to help restore balance, reorganize the body’s soft tissue and improve body intelligence and spatial awareness. In structural integration, the participant actively engages in the process, having them do the movement with deep fascial manual work to further enhance body awareness, free areas of restriction, and unwind tension patterns of soft tissue to create space for a “New” pattern to land in the body. The goal is to then help the client find ways to own this newfound posture as they continue in the restorative process on their own over time. Learn more about structural integration!

Rehab Pilates Instruction
Moira offers rehab based mat or reformer sessions to help individuals dealing with ongoing pain, impaired mobility and decreased local stability. Whether you are currently recovering from an injury or looking to further improve strength and stability from a previous injury, STOTT pilates can help you achieve these goals. Movement dysfunctions can remain even though the pain resolves. By focusing on the smaller local stabilizers, the less often trained muscles, pilates can help restore more optimal movement patterns and help prevent recurrences or new injuries.
