Structural Integration
STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

Anatomy Trains Structural Integration is a progressive hands-on process developed by Tom Myers, designed to work with the fascial network and reorganise how the body is held and moves. Offered as a 12-session full series or 3-session foundation series.

Structural Integration may be helpful for:

  • Chronic tension
  • Postural strain
  • Recurring training injuries
  • Movement restriction
  • Performance and longevity
ScarWork Therapy
SCARWORK THERAPY

ScarWork is a gentle hands-on method developed by Sharon Wheeler, designed to work with scar tissue and support its integration with the surrounding fascial network.

ScarWork may be helpful for:

  • C-section – postpartum surgical scars
  • Cosmetic surgery
  • Keyhole procedures
  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Injury or burns

Hypertrophic and keloid scars are also accepted. As these vary in complexity, an initial assessment is required before the first session.

For abdominal scars such as C-sections, Visceral Manipulation may also be used where the scar affects the surrounding organs and connective tissue.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE THERAPY

A precise, light-touch method developed by the Chikly Health Institute that maps and supports the body's lymphatic flow. Works with the system directly — not as a general massage, but as a specific approach to drainage, immune support, and tissue recovery.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy may be helpful for:

  • Surgery recovery & aesthetic procedures
  • Pregnancy & postpartum
  • Detox & immune support
  • Anti-aging & general wellness
  • Scars & fibrosis
  • Sleep disorders
  • PMS
  • Headaches & migraines

Start Here

Not sure where to begin? Find your situation below.

I've had surgery or a C-section

For addressing the scar, reducing fluid retention, or supporting tissue as it heals. Start with ScarWork, LDT, or both.

I have chronic pain, tension, or postural issues

If the same areas keep tightening or not responding to treatment, the pattern may be structural. Structural Integration works with the fascial network as a whole.

I want lymphatic drainage support

For puffiness, sluggish drainage, immune support, or general wellbeing. LDT follows the body's own rhythm to support flow.

I'm recovering from an aesthetic procedure

LDT reduces post-procedure swelling and bruising and supports the tissue in settling well.

I'm postpartum and want to recover

For C-section scars, fluid retention, or returning to a body that feels like yours again. LDT and ScarWork are both gentle enough for early postpartum.

I feel puffy, heavy, or can't shake fatigue

Chronic puffiness, heaviness in the legs, or a tiredness that sleep doesn't fix can all point to lymphatic congestion. LDT is where to start.

The same injury or pain keeps coming back

If pain returns after treatment, or moves around without fully resolving, the underlying structure may need attention. Structural Integration addresses the pattern, not just the symptom.

Structural Integration

Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) is a progressive, whole-body process rooted in the work of Ida Rolf and developed by Tom Myers. Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, it works with how the entire body is organised: how tension is distributed, where support is missing, and how long-held patterns affect movement, breath, and comfort. The goal is not to correct you into an ideal posture, but to help your body find its own natural balance.

Structural Integration works with fascia, but the work is never just fascia. It also influences muscles, connective tissues, joint relationships, and the nervous system.

Full Series · Recommended

12-Session Structural Integration Series

The 12-session series is a progressive process, with each session building on the last. Sessions are approximately 75 minutes, typically done in underwear or swimwear, and move through three phases:

Sessions 1–4: The Sleeve (Superficial layers of the body)

Sessions 5–8: The Core (Deeper stabilising structures)

Sessions 9–12: The Integration (Whole-body coordination)

The aim is that the new organisation becomes part of how you move, not something you have to consciously maintain.

The 12-series is a process of gradual uncovering: working through layers of long-held compensation until the body can move the way it was designed to.

Good Starting Point

3-Session Foundation Series

The 3-session series is a focused introduction to Structural Integration. Each session addresses a different region of the body, giving you a tangible experience of how the work feels and what it can shift, without committing to the full series.

Session 1: Feet, Legs and Pelvis (Ground up support)

Session 2: Ribcage and Breath (Free the breath)

Session 3: Spine and Neck (Bring it all together)

Sessions may follow the sequence below, or be tailored around a specific concern you want to address.

For those who feel ready to go deeper, the 12-session series continues from here.

Session frequency: Typically spaced one week apart, close enough to maintain momentum and far enough for the body to integrate what has changed.

About Kiki Ruan

Kiki Ruan is the founder of Tensor Fascia Lab, an Anatomy Trains Certified Structural Integration Practitioner, ScarWork therapist, and Lymphatic Drainage Therapist based in Singapore.

Approach

Her work approaches the body as a system: where tension, load, and restriction are distributed, not isolated. Rather than focusing on a single point of discomfort, she works with how patterns develop across the body over time.

Focus

She focuses on how the body adapts under stress, and how these adaptations can lead to recurring discomfort or movement limitations. What presents as pain or restriction is often linked to broader structural patterns.

Sessions

Her sessions are structured to work with these patterns, with the aim of improving how the body moves, supports itself, and adapts to load.

ScarWork

Where relevant, she incorporates ScarWork, particularly when scar tissue continues to influence movement or contribute to restriction beyond its immediate location.

Lymphatic Drainage

Trained in LDT through the Chikly Health Institute. Offered alongside SI or ScarWork to support recovery, reduce congestion, and prepare or restore the body around surgery or aesthetic procedures.

Who She Works With

She works with individuals experiencing recurring discomfort, movement limitations, or unresolved issues following injury or surgery.
