Therapeutic Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is the most common form of touch therapy in the western world. Using a variety of strokes and pressure techniques, the soft tissues of the body such as skin and muscle, as well as joints, tendons, ligaments and bones, are manipulated in such a way as to bring about a release of chronically held tension in those tissues, and break up adhesions between layers. This process tends to feel incredibly pleasurable and relaxing, which is both a goal and yet another means toward inducing the body/mind to rebuild, recover and rejuvenate itself as it is designed to do when not constantly interfered with.

There are a great many scientifically documented health benefits associated with receiving regular massage from a trained and nationally certified professional massage therapist.

A typical Swedish Massage session such as performed in a spa or massage studio involves the client undressed between sheets, whereupon the therapist will proceed in stages, using hands and fingers, forearms and elbows (and sometimes knees and heels and feet!) to “melt” the frozen tissues, “untie the knots”, and then “re-weave the fabric” of the client’s body/mind through gentle and deep release and integrative movements. Often there is soft music playing to enhance relaxation and letting go.

Somatic Polarity Therapy

ENERGY! The Foundation of Health

Polarity Therapy is a natural health care system that works with the Human Energy Field. Energy fields exist everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health.

Energy balancing is a central concept in many ancient and traditional health care systems, such as Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine from India. Modern scientific research has provided new understanding of the powerful effects and health benefits made possible by Polarity Therapy.

In a typical Polarity Therapy session, the client and practitioner work together to address physical, mental and emotional blocks in a safe, supportive environment. Sessions are commonly done with client fully clothed (minus belts and jewelry), resting upon a massage table, and engaged with gentle rocking, shaking, and point-contacts of touch which are effective in releasing blockages and opening up the flow of Chi (life-force energy) through the pathways of the subtle energy system.

“Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms.”
- Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND, founder of Polarity Therapy
