he/him
Jonathan came to structural integration after experiencing a foot injury that wouldn’t fully heal. Over the years, he sought out many different remedies with varying degrees of success, yet he still couldn’t quite get past the cycle of re-injury. In finding Structural Integration, he began a series of profound shifts in his body and life. As a musician and singer, he was surprised and delighted to see how much his lung capacity increased. He felt like he had super hero lungs, greater stamina and command through long gigs, singing, playing guitar and piano. His movement became more efficient and easy. His posture changed for the better. All of this new awareness resulted in a big paradigm shift: Jonathan ditched his ankle braces, orthotics, and motion control shoes and focused on strengthening his feet, fostering more movement in all his joints. He became a barefoot runner, and finally overcame the cycle of re-injury. Jonathan hasn’t had any serious injuries for nearly a decade!
Jonathan graduated from the Soma Institute of Structural Integration in 2021. He has been practicing ever since. He has worked with all kinds of people from high performing athletes (marathon/triathalon, ballet dancers, circus acrobats), to older people dealing with scoliosis, mobility issues, and those just trying feel more comfortable in their bodies including infants dealing with birth trauma, and has seen fantastic results!
Jonathan loves to share his insight to help others find balance in their life and in their bodies.
