What is it for?
Biodynamic massage is great for when your stress levels that have reached a point of chronic overload. The focus is on both energy and structure to help bring you back into balance, so your body can re-learn how to naturally regulate your own stress levels.
It's great for:
What happens in a session?
As well as the usual questions about health and life style, you might also be asked to think about; how you feel about your body, your years growing up, what was going on when your condition started, etc.
The emphasis is on creating understanding and trust with your therapist so that you can let go safely. You choose whether to get undressed and how many clothes to take off; the therapist will adapt to your needs.
Biodynamic massage is unique in that special attention is given to your peristalsis tummy rumbling . You can listen to it with an electronic stethoscope but if this freaks you out you can choose not to hear it! Biodynamic therapists do not use oil, which can get in the way of energy work and connection.
There are a variety of techniques to choose from:
- deep muscular work
- gentle energy work
- holding
- aura work
- circling movements to empty energy
