Steven Padgen founder, I have been a practicing therapist for 19 years and have thousands of hours of experience. I founded The Padgen Institute of Healing Arts on the principles and techniques of Dr Ida P. Rolf’s method of Structural Integration, Visionary Craniosacral, and Breathwork. These techniques are approached from a philosophy "That the human body has an innate intelligence and the ability to heal itself.”

I, like many of you, was once in chronic pain and searched for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. I discovered the Utah Collage of Massage Therapy family of Schools. Through my studies of massage therapy techniques, I received many hours of bodywork specifically Structural Bodywork, and discovered its vast potential. I became an ardent student of Structural Integration and related therapies, immersing myself in intense learning, devoting many hours of study and practice, perfecting my healing arts. I invite both students of the work or those whom are in need of restoration and relief from the cruel confines of pain, to allow my staff and I to assist you on the path to wholeness, well-being, and health.
