Polarity is a holistic approach to building health, working on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual & nutritional level. A Polarity session is dependent on a client's needs & may involve bodywork & movements as well as exploring nutrition, communication & thought process.
Developed by Randolph Stone, Polarity Therapy is both an art & science. Stone, a doctor of Naturopathic, Osteopathic & Chiropractic Medicine, travelled the world studying other traditional forms of healing. Polarity Therapy is a merging of the principles Ayurvedic & Chinese Medicine with Dr. Stone’s knowledge of Western Medicine. The principle factor for rebuilding health is energy.
Polarity works with balancing the natural electromagnetic energy in body. We are all born with an innate ability & intelligence to heal ourselves. Illness, pain or dis-ease characterize a blockage or imbalance of energy. The manifestation of such is dependent of the nature & location of the imbalance. Experience of dis-ease is a message that the body needs attention. A Polarity Therapist looks beyond symptoms & works with root cause. Polarity bodywork involves techniques that bring the body into relaxation. By being in a state of relaxation, the body is able to reconnect with its natural rhythm & energy flow thus, can draw on its innate ability to heal itself.
