No lotions or oils are used, and the work involves primarily light touching. Sometimes, the therapist will hold his hands over your skin without touching it, and rarely, the therapist will use deep touch. The purpose of polarity bodywork is to release any energy blockages and to complete the energy circuits, not to massage the muscles. Therefore, no two sessions will be completely alike, since the work will depend on your current needs. Polarity therapy sessions usually last about an hour.
Most people require one treatment a week for six to eight weeks.
While bodywork is done at every polarity therapy session, nutritional counseling, diet and exercise advice, and emotional counseling are given only when needed. Health Benefits Polarity therapy is a nondiagnostic holistic health technique. It is intended for use as an adjunctive therapy, not a primary form of treatment. Many people use polarity therapy as a preventive strategy, believing that blockages in energy flow can occur before actual medical conditions begin to manifest themselves. While no authoritative studies have been done on the risks and safety issues associated with polarity therapy, it has generally been found to be a very safe and gentle technique.
