Body Realignment
Jan Trewartha
Body realignment is a treatment that works with the body's own intelligence. When there is injury to the body, the fascia (connective tissue) is affected. Because this fascia covers and connects every part of the body, a pulling effect 'dominos' through the body, causing restriction of circulation, limitation of mobility, discomfort and eventually pain as the body is pulled into misalignment. The practitioner works gently with the body to remove this holding pattern. Over the course of treatment, a deep release results, with consequent realignment.
When the body is in alignment once more, the circulation of blood, lymph and energy is restored, as is normal functioning of the organs and body systems.
Because of the inextricable link between the mind and the body, as the layers of tension clear, the mind is calmed. Repressed emotions can surface and release. Increasing clarity and tranquillity result as the treatments progress.
Because most people have accumulated problems over many years, it will normally take between 4 and 6 treatments to fully correct the damage; the emphasis is on re-educating the body and consolidating that re-education as it lets go of old habits. Clients discover a new sense of body awareness and find that they naturally start to care for themselves better and start listening to their body instead of ignoring it.
Body Realignment works very effectively with conditions such as: headaches, back pain, repetitive strain injury (RSI), neck whiplash, poor post-operative healing, birth trauma, emotional trauma, sports injuries, or just if there is simply a feeling of being physically 'achy' and uncomfortable.
At the Theobalds Natural Health Centre clients will receive Combination therapy; this combines Body Realignment with Energy Field Therapy, which adds an extra dimension to this very relaxing treatment.
