The therapist will discuss with you a history of your problem/s.
You will lie (normally on your back, but you may be treated in a sitting or side-lying position if preferred) comfortably on a treatment table, fully clothed. The therapist ‘tunes into’ your body gently by holding usually the feet or shoulders to begin with.
With your permission, the therapist will move hand contact to other areas as appropriate. Although to an outside observer it may look like ‘nothing is being done’, the therapist is working with rhythms and patterns within the body.
You may feel relaxation, softening of your body, warmth or perhaps tingling or other sensations.
Some people may not feel a lot initially, as in modern life, or following some experiences, we can be quite disconnected from our bodies.
The therapist will talk with you during the session about what is happening, afterwards should deep relaxation be apparent.
