Hellerwork Structural Integration is a systematic deep tissue bodywork programme of manipulation of the muscles & surrounding tissue (myo-fascia) which was developed by Joseph Heller in the USA in the 1970's. Hellerwork aims to realign and rebalance the body by releasing chronic tension and helping to manage current and future stress by producing a more relaxed, upright & "gravidynamic" state. Along with the bodywork there is an strong educational and awareness element which coaches clients on maintaining, integrating, improving and prolonging the results produced.

 

The central premise of Hellerwork is that a structurally misaligned body experiences gravity as stressful and movement and flexibility are limited, causing energy loss, ageing, wear and tear and deterioration.  A body in a more harmonious vertical alignment  is flexible, moves more easily and experiences gravity as a supportive force. Clients learn to work with, rather than fight against gravity . Hellerwork is a uniquely powerful way of improving your posture and use of your body.

 

Roger Golten is one of the leading exponents of  Hellerwork and a pioneer of the technique in the U.K. and Europe since training with founder Joseph Heller in 1983. He has a client list that includes musicians, business people, actors and politicians as well as many other folk from all walks of life.  Roger estimates that since he started his practice in London in 1983 he has treated over 2000 people and completed more than 25,000 hours of treatments..
