Polarity Therapy
Developed by Dr Randolph Stone in the late 19th Century, Polarity Therapy is a blend of Western therapies, Traditional Chinese Therapy and Ayurveda.
Well-being is said to be the result of the unobstructed flow of the “life force ” around the body. This life force corresponds to Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Prana in Ayurveda.
This life force or energy is thought to move in currents around the body between positive and negative poles. Practitioners aim to rebalance or restore the energy flow by means of therapeutic bodywork, nutritional advice, gentle stretching exercises – polarity yoga – and counselling.
Treatment is especially useful in treating the following health conditions:
angina, asthma, anxiety, back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, coeliac disease, colitis, constipation, crohn’s disease, depression, diarrheoa, dysmenorrhoea, eczema, endometriosis, fatigue, hayfever, headaches, heart disease, IBS, indigestion, menopause, menorrhagia, migraines, peptic ulcers, PMS, postnatal problems, respiratory problems, stress.
