Polarity
Polarity, a very
sweet technique. Gentle pressure, stretching, rocking combine to
balance energy flow, release energy blocks, relieve some chronic
pain and promote deep relaxation. (There are at least two techniques
by the name of Polarity. The "other" one is quite different
from this.)
- I once worked on a friend of a friend. He
had fixed something on my car for free, and I asked him to please
let me give something back. He had never gotten a massage and
didn't believe in it, but he finally told me he had a pain in
his knee. Since he had poison oak, I had him keep all of his
clothes on. The polarity I practice is very light touch.
He said, "I don't feel anything". The next day he told his friend:
"My knee doesn't hurt any more, I guess it did do something."
A couple of months later, I ran into him and asked him about
his knee pain. He said: "what knee pain?". He had forgotten
all about it.
- A friend of mine, had had a shoulder pain for
a couple of years. I gave her the basic Polarity treatment
and then did the specific shoulder work. Her shoulder pain disappeared
completely and hadn't come back several months later.
- Some Polarity manipulations often get mixed
into a massage, especially for back problems, tightness in the
shoulders and when I work on arms or legs.
