Body therapy and Body-work are generic terms meaning simply hands-on work with the body aiming to provide the following benefits:

Benefits of Release body therapy:

  • Relief of back, neck, joint or muscular pain
  • Promote healing of Impact injuries
  • Improved circulation, flexibility and posture
  • Relaxation & stress relief
  • Investment in health and function in later years

Release Bodywork:

  • is Safe and Effective
  • works with your comfort – it is pleasant to receive and is performed with you fully clothed
  • works quickly and lasts longer because your body learns in the process
  • helps you understand why you are in difficulty, and what you can do to help yourself in the future
  • works with your whole system – sometimes it is necessary to align physical patterns with mind and emotion to get the best results

People often expect bodywork to involve a forceful “correcting” of the body, possibly with a no-pain-no-gain approach. But, Im pleased to say, times are changing…

Your body is designed to balance and heal itself, and it does so all the time, dealing with bumps and cuts and colds. When you notice pain or compromised function, it is tempting to think your body isn’t working. It will be working as well as it can, guaranteed, but it may be needing some extra support or information to sort itself out quickly and efficiently.

Basically if you have a sore bit that has already been worked on with no or only temporary result, then try something else. Also consider that the cause is not at the pain site. Either a jam-up somewhere else is pulling on it, or you have a movement habit that is wearing it out again. So we have to track down the silent cause….

Working with your body, rather than “on” it greatly improves the balancing or healing process.

The Bodywork modalites used in Release sessions include:

  • ConTact C.A.R.E.- perfect for resolution of impact injuries, getting you back to how you were before the accident or injury
  • Movement Coaching – for getting you moving even better than before. This approach is recommended for pain that comes from movement habits rather than specific injuries, eg rsi/oos, joints wearing out
  • Ortho-Bionomy – great for pain relief, and increasing awareness of your body
  • Zero Balancing - a unique modality that is great for stress relief or support for NLP coaching processes. Is relaxing, centering and grounding
