Polarity Therapy
Polarity Therapy is a somatic therapeutic approach that provides profound access to the nervous system and healing at the deepest level. Dr. Randolph Stone, a naturopath, osteopath and chiropractor, developed Polarity Therapy by combining eastern and western medicine in a holistic, whole-body approach to healing. Polarity Therapy supports regulation through hands-on body and energy work, energy exercises, yoga practices, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support. Working with the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space that make up our world and bodies, Polarity Therapy balances these qualities to support the mind, body, and energy. Polarity Therapy quiets the mind, allowing more connection to, and awareness of, the body and somatic sensations. This body-centered approach supports integration and regulation, encouraging health on every level. It helps you to listen to your body’s wisdom, discover the resources you already have, and gain more tools for living well. Morag Campbell & Phil Young explain that “Polarity Therapy can treat a full spectrum of conditions from those related to physical trauma to those problems associated with mental - emotional stress. It has been found to be of benefit in the treatment of back pain, digestive disturbances, menstrual problems, headaches, arthritis, and sports injuries.”
“True health is the harmony that lives within us.”
