Others notice increasingly poor posture and want to improve their appearance. Those who are athletically and musically inclined seek Structural Integration to improve their flexibility and performance.

"Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity".
