Krystalle G - Horse Riding Trainer

I came to Stephen a year after a bad horse riding accident based on a recommendation from a friend. I had healed, but my pelvis, ribs, and back were all misaligned. This affected my riding A LOT and after trying several other things including PT and massage, I went through the structural integration program that he offered. I am now much better in terms of straightness in my body and feel more equal on both the left and right sides. I recommend this approach to anyone that wants to gain flexibility, mobility and straightness to help their day to day life or improve their athletic performance.

Erika M - Ranch Owner & Dressage Rider

“I recently finished a 10 session Hellerwork Structural Integration plan with Steve and I feel better than I have in many years. I didn't know what Hellerwork Structural Integration (HSI) was before I started working with Steve. A friend of mine was raving about her fascia massages so I thought it might be similar to that. Wrong! HSI is about fascia but is most definitely not a massage. I finally feel like I think I should. I was stiff all over and felt like if I had a strong sneeze I would literally break bones or pull muscles. For several years, I've felt like I haven't been able to walk easily, it was hard to move through gravity. I attributed it to being overweight and inactive which are certainly contributors, but it was more than that. I've done yoga and stretching but SI is very different.

I initially went to Steve on the recommendation of a friend, and my primary concerns were awkwardness in walking, poor posture, and shoulder pain from an impingement. Steve explained how the fascia impacts movement and overall body structure and the light bulb went on for me. As we worked through the sessions I saw improvement in different areas each time and best of all they were cumulative. Steve explained in as much detail as I wanted the relationship between how I was moving and holding my body and how the fascia reflected and impacted that. We worked a lot on overall movement, as well as the structural integration of stacking the body. Steve taught me how to walk, sit and stand correctly and easily and his fascia manipulation allowed that to happen.

Steve's explanations and demos were the best. He has a way of explaining that is simple to understand, direct and most important to me, he explains the “why” behind everything. I always felt he was respectful of my imperfect body, my personal space and comfort zone. He obviously loves his work and helping people. The depth of his knowledge, experience and expertise is second to none yet he is truly humble.

I never thought I'd say this but the SI sessions have been truly life-changing. I can now walk and move better than I have in many years and with minimal to no pain. I no longer have daily aches and pains. I don't move correctly all the time but now I know how to and can self-correct. I still have work to do. At age 66, do I feel like I'm 26? No, but I don't feel like 96 either as I did before my treatments.

“I have a long history of receiving various forms of bodywork - deep tissue, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, craniosacral, ART, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc - and I was still stuck in the same pain patterns. Then, I found Steve for Hellerwork. I can say, hands down, Steve's work is the most profound bodywork I've ever experienced. 

Beginning with session 1 of the 10 series I noticed freedom in movement like I had never known before. What struck me most was how gentle and truly integrated the work is. It  produced shifts in me not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Steve is tapped in!

The most impactful work, for me, came in the sessions with Steve following the 10 series where long held patterns really began to unwind and buried tension patterns released. As a result I experienced less pain, better movement, more peace in my mind, greater spiritually connectivity, more confidence, and even improvement in my relationships. The body really does keep the score and Steve's decades of experience and ability to listen to what a body needs is extraordinary. 

I cannot recommend working with Steve enough! Go in with an open mind and there's a lot of magic that can happen on his table!”

Rachel M - Rehab Counselor

“I first discovered Structural Integration when a coworker recommended it to me after I was experiencing postpartum pain. I didn’t realize then just how life-changing it would be. The work went far beyond relieving pain — it addressed my whole body and even touched on emotional layers I hadn’t expected.

Going through the 10-session series was fascinating. It wasn’t just physical therapy; it was a growth experience that helped me learn so much about myself. Along the way, I noticed major changes: pain relief, improved mobility and balance, more energy, greater confidence, and a new level of body awareness.

The most surprising part for me was realizing that even after three decades, I could still discover something new about myself. That sense of ongoing discovery was truly impactful.

I wholeheartedly recommend Structural Integration to anyone who wants to feel their best — not only to “fix” pain, but to understand their body on a deeper level and experience real transformation. It’s a fascinating journey of growth.

Steve is an outstanding practitioner. He establishes deep trust, guiding patients through healing and transformation with a rare mix of skill, humor, and insight. I’m deeply grateful for the experience.”

Magda M, PhD - Bio Science

“I first sought treatment from Steve Bulger probably 20 years or more ago for chronic back issues.  On top of getting substantive relief, I became increasingly interested in the whole concept of proper alignment through Structural Integration.

So, I bought the full 10 visit package and found that not only was each session in the progression tangibly effective while also learning more and more about my body from the standpoint of coming to understand the underlying theory and advantages of proper alignment.

Each year since then I routinely buy a package of sessions to maintain overall balance throughout the year.  Also, as various issues arise I immediately reach out to Steve for specific site assistance.   I should point out here that I was involved in a car accident in May 2023 and sought immediate treatment for neck and shoulder pain issues.  Steve was fantastic and he finally got the tightness and spasms in both areas to diminish while also improving my range of motion in the neck.

Going into the full series I didn't know what to think as I had been receiving chiropractic, acupuncture, and other Holistic methods of pain relief since the late 60's.  What really caught my attention from Structural Integration was the specific focus of each session and working on areas of the body that were never addressed in the other therapies I received.

I trust my comments will be received as a major endorsement of Steve Bulger's services and application of Structural Integration to achieve better overall health and addressing injuries or chronic conditions.

Ken S - Financial Manager

“Steve Bulger is an exceptional Structural Integration practitioner. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and his warm, approachable energy immediately puts you at ease. His sense of humor is charming and makes every session something I look forward to.

Steve’s work has been tremendously helpful in easing my aches and pains, and I always leave feeling better, both physically and emotionally. He is one of the only male practitioners I truly enjoy receiving work from, as he is deeply respectful, attentive, and listens well to what my body needs.

I can’t say enough good things about Steve. If you’re looking for someone skilled, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to helping people feel better in their bodies, I highly recommend him.”

Emily J - Structural Integration Practitioner

I feel lucky to have someone like Steve in my life when I need bodywork. I have struggled with chronic back pain from growing up an athlete. My back does tend to go “out” and he’s the first I call. His care and presence during sessions really make you feel comfortable. His knowledge of the body is incredible and the conversations really transform his sessions from any other kind of bodywork you may receive.

Steve’s knowledge and masterful handling of the fascia and muscles of the body changed everything for me. I was able to return to my physical activities. The connection of the mind and body is key. Steve brings energy and balance into your body. There is a calm and well being effect on your total body from your head to your feet. Steve has been a constant in my healing.

“After knee surgery, multiple PT’s didn’t know how to address a significant soft tissue issue I suffered. I was recommended by a family member to see Steve. I was so pleased with Steve’s listening skills. I really was shocked with results and can’t say enough about Steve’s knowledge of the human structure and his empathy as a caregiver. “

Bill D - Business Owner

“It’s a 5’9 world and I’m 6’5”. Years of being a stylist and years of leaning over, to adjust to the lower world, left my body completely stressed…all the time…no relief! Years of medical and chiropractic treatments left me really messed up. All this took its toll on my mobility, mental state and rest. Steve Bulger’s knowledge of the human body and his amazing sight into the fascial structure was the exact prescription I needed. Committing to the series of treatments from Steve was life saving for me. I now stand properly and I am aware of my structure, even when old habits want to take over. Steve actually reprogrammed my body to work more efficiently and without stress. Everything and everyday is better because of Steve. He’s the man!”
