Structural Integration & Therapeutic Massage in Amsterdam

Restore posture. Release tension. Move freely.

Why This Work Matters

Your body adapts to how you live through sitting, stress, old injuries and overuse. Over time these patterns become tension, stiffness and pain. We work with fascia, posture and the nervous system to restore function and resilience.

  • Sitting for long periods leads to tension, stiffness and loss of energy
  • Old injuries create compensations that lead to more imbalances
  • Chronic pain is not only muscular. It becomes patterned in posture and connective tissue
  • We combine deep fascial work, postural alignment and somatic restoration

FAQs

What is Structural Integration, and how can it help me?
Structural Integration is a holistic manual and movement based therapy that realigns and balances the body's structure by working on connective tissue (fascia). It aims to ease tension, improve posture, and enhance overall body balance. This therapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, whether you're active, sedentary, or recovering from injury.
How Many Sessions Are Involved in the Structural Integration Process?

You can take single sessions, 3-5 sessions, or enter a 12 series process depending on your goals.

Is it Safe to Receive a Massage During Pregnancy?
Yes, receiving a massage during pregnancy is generally safe after the first trimester. Albert offers specialized pregnancy massages designed to alleviate discomfort, reduce swelling, and enhance relaxation. These sessions focus on areas like the back, hips, and legs, ensuring safety and comfort for both mother and baby.
Will Deep Tissue Massage Help With Posture?

It will be helpful to feel relief and comfort, mainly. For specialized postural effects, I would go for a Structural Integration or an Integrative Foot Reflexology session.

Is Scarwork Safe if I Have Other Minor Physical Issues?

Definitely. Contraindications are taken into consideration for local and global work on the scar and the work is mostly on the skin tissue, there is no pain involved and no big pressure is applied. It can be a good idea to work first on the scar/s before working on a functional problem.

What clients say

“Albert, the Spanish magnifico, is not only at the very top of his craft, but he is constantly learning to become even better. Albert always treats you with rare humility, understanding and attention to detail. There is no one else I would entrust my body”

Ben Robbins

“Uitstekende massage, bekkenpijn was daarna absoluut verlicht. We hadden een een aangenaam gesprek en ik kon waarderen dat hij uitlegde wat hij aan het doen was.”

Carolien Roos

“Albert greeted me with so much joy and calmness although I was rushing and was late. I felt welcomed. He listened to what was going on in my life while I had some tea, and then started the massage.I felt really comfortable and taken care off. The days after I was very tired, I guess my body was processing. Felt very calm at the same time and felt my body more. Definitely going back!”
