Light Touch Technique
The approach we take with our clients utilizes an application of Light Touch. The touch, when placed precisely on specific points along the spine, is used to evoke neurological reflexes and responses. The body and brain move into a relaxation response, which in addition to allowing tight muscles to relax so the spine can naturally move back into alignment, also has healing effects throughout the body.
The gentleness of the touch, in addition to being effective at unwinding spinal tension patterns, increasing body awareness, and deepening breath, makes it safe for people of all ages to receive, even those with osteoporosis, arthritis and disk injuries. The focus is on releasing stress patterns and restoring full movement and flexibility to the spine and body.
The treatment room is a "community room" setting with a few tables in it. The practitioner flows between the practice members during the 15 minute treatment period. The relaxation response is enhanced for everyone when there is a group of people all breathing deeply and focusing with the same intension. There is also a rhythm of contacting the spine and then allowing a few moments for the body to respond undisturbed.
There is healing music playing in the treatment room, along with the sound of flowing water, and in addition to the treatment being effective for most people over a course of treatment, each session is a pleasurable healing experience.
