Information About Polarity Therapy
What is Polarity Therapy Therapy?
Polarity therapists use their hands placed on body's energy centres
and poles to balance the human energy field and its structural
counterpart bringing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
imbalances into equilibrium. Energy blocks and congestion areas
within the Bio-Energy field of the body are located and neutralized.
Circular pressure on sensitive contact points,
light rhythmic rocking and stretching motions, joint mobilization,
and energy holds are amongst the direct, body contact techniques
employed by the therapist. Nutritional
advice, verbal dialogue and Polarity Yoga are also employed to support
the treatment.
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone in the mid 20th
century, his aim was
to develop a way to keep fit and healthy on all levels, by balancing
the basic positive and negative energies that constitute life.
Dr Stone considered the importance of dietary considerations to
be an important part of Polarity Therapy, consequently looking
at a persons nutritional intake and requirements are an important
part of the technique.
What happens during a Polarity Therapy treatment session ?
It is a fundamental principal of Polarity Therapy that poor health,
illness, lethargy and other general maladies are all caused by
an underlying malfunction of the body's Bio-Energy system. The
initial consultation will normally consist of a detailed question
and answer session relating to the clients general health and lifestyle
as well as any specific illness or emotional issues. The therapist
will normally conduct an examination of the body attempting to
detect any flaws or blockages in the bio-energy flows.
Actual treatment may start in the latter part of the initial consultation
or may be postponed un till the next session. Cranial holds, rocking
movements, Reflexology Osteopathy and Chiropractic like techniques
may be employed, but with an energetic rather than manipulative
focus. The therapist will typically use both hands, or the fingers
of both hands (each finger relates to a different element) linking
to energetically and functionally related areas of the body, this
use of both hands and fingers is known as BiPolar and is a characteristic
of Polarity Therapy. The actual experience of the technique is
often very emotional, sometimes resulting in tears or laughter
it is difficult to described and needs to be experienced but
most people agree it is very relaxing and pleasant.
The technique is suitable for everyone including the elderly, the
very young or the infirm. Sometimes deep manipulation is necessary
but Polarity Therapy does not require any forceful manipulations
therefore stresses and strains to muscles and bones are kept to
a minimum.
