What is Polarity Therapy?
A basic premise of the energy approach to health is that life energy must flow around and through the body in a smooth, interrupted way.
When the ebb and flow of life energy becomes blocked or interrupted, something must be done to re-establish the balance and free flow of life energy, which is where Polarity Therapy (PT) comes in.
Polarity Therapy (PT) is the art and science of re-balancing and assisting the movement of life energy.

The Principle of Polarity: There is an electrical activity present in every cell, tissue and organ, polarized between positive (+) and negative (-) charges through a neutral (Ѳ) field.

The 4 Pillars of Polarity Therapy
Bodywork: The most commonly practised modality in PT is Polarity bodywork which uses three qualities of touch that can vary from light to stimulating and deep.
Polarity bodywork helps the body dissolve deep physical & emotional tensions and the energetic patterns that accompany them.
Cleansing Protocols & Food Awareness: are foundational pillars of holistic health.
A common cause for blockages in energy flow is devitalised food. As a devitalised toxic, congested body, hinders free-flowing life energy, where appropriate, Polarity Therapy can also include cleansing and rebuilding healthy cells and tissues with Living Foods
Movement: Where appropriate Polarity Therapy can also include the use of gentle restorative movement to keep the energy system working well after sessions.
Self Awareness:
Polarity bodywork helps the mind and body to quieten, settle and deepen into a state of presence, where the healing process naturally begins to emerge.
What Are The Roots Of Polarity Therapy?
Polarity Therapy is rooted in the knowledge and experience of traditional systems of healing.
Beginning in the 1930’s for over several decades, Dr Randolph Stone DO, DC, ND (1890-1981) a medical doctor, osteopath, naturopath and chiropractor, based in Chicago, Illinois, enquired into the deeper causes of health and disease and the essence of how healing occurs.
Much of Dr Stone’s explorations were inspired by his yearning for spiritual knowledge and disillusionment with the medical and bodywork approaches of the day, which he found to be overly specialized and mechanistic.
In his quest for a deeper comprehension, Dr Stone turned to the health teachings of ancient cultures that have withstood the test of time for thousands of years.
As a result of more than 60 years, spent travelling the world, he realized that most ancient systems of healing are founded on a premise long forgotten in Western medicine – the premise of ‘Life Energy’.
Through studying energy based knowledge from around the world he was able to discern a detailed understanding of the energetic principles of healing and ways to apply them practically; resulting in a simple clear and accessible approach to wholistic healthcare that he called ‘Polarity Therapy’.

What To Expect
The first appointment includes taking a case history to get clear about the reason for your visit your medical history your health goals and to understand the whole picture including: way of life, nutritional habits, digestion, sleep patterns, work, environmental influences, relationships, and sources of stress.
After the consultation you will be invited to lay comfortably on a treatment table fully clothed. You will be offered towels and blankets to keep you warm and comfortable if you prefer.
In Polarity sessions we work with the nervous system, structural and energetic, aspects of the body, to release blockages and imbalances in energy flow that can contribute to pain and restriction on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
During sessions contacts that range from rocking motions to pressure and light touch are used to find tender and congested areas. As the movement of life energy is gradually restored the body no longer has to work so hard at holding tension and restriction enabling more energy to become available for the natural healing process.
Although each persons experience will be unique during a session clients often experience a release of physical or emotional tension and a deep relaxation of the mind.
This may also be accompanied by sensations such as tingling, prickling, warmth and streaming indicating that flow is improving and that frozen states are dissipating.
The therapeutic benefits will continue to unfold in the subsequent hours and days after your polarity session.
Polarity Therapy is not intended as a replacement for primary healthcare but as a complement to primary healthcare
“All energy blocks are expressed as pain because the current is interrupted there. Then the temple needs house cleaning and intelligent guidance in order to re-establish its own energy polarity current flow”.
“In this age of specialization with emphasis on chemistry, bacteriology and mechanical and surgery research, we have lost sight of the overall picture of man as a living being with lines of force working in fields of finer energy. “
