Discover the Art and Science of Structural Integration through our Comprehensive Online Course Bundles!
Break into the world of Structural Integration and bring the philosophy and principles behind this unique approach to bodywork into your manual therapy practice.
Simply put, Structural Integration (SI) is used in order to help clients get out of chronic patterns of pain, improve the quality of their posture, and offer them a different way of being in their body. The world of Structural Integration is constantly conducting clinical research in order to support the work, but let's be clear, SI is an art and a philosophy first and foremost. Because of this you must experience it and see it in action to understand it.
Check out the details on both of the SI online course bundles available through the Morales Method® below:

Who is Marty Morales and why would I want to learn from him?
Marty Morales, Certified Advanced Rolfer® is the founder and creator of both the Morales Method® of Manual Therapy and Body Conditioning as well as the Morales Method® Academy of Structural Integration. He has been a bodyworker for 20 years and has been educating bodyworkers since 2012.

Marty found his passion in Structural Integration and loves to share this unique approach that truly changed his life with other bodyworkers!
Most Structural Integration Programs don't make this information so accessible. What's the catch?
There is no catch! It's difficult to know if you will truly like something unless you try it. When I was training, there was no way of knowing if Structural Integration was the thing for me. I had to go in blind. Lucky for me, I found my passion in this way of working! I created these courses so that interested practitioners don't have to take the blind leap of faith that I did.
When do these courses start and finish? Will I always have access?
These courses start now and never end! They are completely self-paced online courses - you decide when you start and when you finish. After enrolling, you have unlimited access for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
Are these classes applicable for CEUs? How do I get them?
Yes! After you complete each of these individual courses (all videos must be completed and quiz taken), a certificate of completion is automatically emailed to you free of charge. You can then submit this to your state board for CEU acceptance (dependent on the rules and regulations of your state). Each course is approved for CEUs by NCBTMB. The number of CEUs the course is approved for is stated in the title of the course.
Are there refunds available for this purchase?
There are no refunds available for the purchase of either bundle.
