Neuro-Structural Integration
The foundation of Neuro-Structural Integration is connection and integration. Dr. Allison Bogan combines several approaches to offer you Neuro-Structural Integration. She focuses her work around allowing the neurology (in both the central and peripheral nervous system) and the structure of the body (including the joints, muscles, fascia, and organs) to unwind deep tension patterns previously created by accidents, injuries and traumas. This helps to restore more optimal function of the body from the inside out.
Dr. Bogan’s foundational approach to working with the body is through a tonal chiropractic technique called Bio-Geometric Integration. This approach uses gentle contacts (which means there are no cracking, popping or twisting maneuvers) on the body to help release areas of stored tension and stress to help the nervous system function more optimally. Bio-Geometric Integration is effective at helping the body heal from both physical and emotional traumas and stressors.
Dr. Bogan further incorporates osteopathic manual therapy techniques such as visceral (organ) and nerve manipulation to gently and specifically address restrictions found in these areas. Gentle cranial work, and brain therapy, are also frequently employed. Combined, these manual therapies affect the body deeply and assist the body’s healing forces already at work. When the body is no longer bound by restriction it can move with greater ease, readily adapt to its environment, and thus have a greater expression of health.
Everything in your body is connected and is in relationship, and how one part or system functions affects the function of everything else. Dr. Bogan honors and utilizes these connections and relationships within the body to help it make changes and heal.
Dr. Bogan cares for the body in its entirety to help you in becoming a more integrated whole- structurally, neurologically and emotionally.
Dr. Bogan has a passion for learning about the human being’s mind, body and spirit. Throughout the year she has an ongoing commitment to studying and taking trainings in fields such as polyvagal theory, trauma informed approaches to somatic healing and nervous system regulation, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology as well as advanced courses in osteopathy, craniosacral therapy and chiropractic.
