The natural force within us is the greatest healer of all.
– Hippocrates
Health is truly holistic in being affected by the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves and we are well only when the mind and body co-operate in creating a sense of wellbeing for the whole person.
In our modern society we are on the go all the time and it can be difficult to make the time to listen to our bodies, to stop doing, thinking and planning and to devote a little time-out for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Life today demands that we hold unnatural postural positions for long periods of time, keeping certain muscles contracted, and through the unconscious adaptive and compensatory abilities of the nervous system allows us to recognise the abnormal as normal.
We typically remain blissfully unaware of this subconscious adaptation until, one day, it finally causes us pain.
Touch therapies gently send reminders to the brain to correct the body’s habits of adaptation and compensation – literally Re-Minding of default settings!
The most natural form of medicine, human touch, is literally at our fingertips and transcends the particulars of human culture and history.
