Polarity therapy is the art and science of balancing vital energy in the
body. This approach is a synthesis of three traditional medicines (Chinese,
Egyptian and Ayurvedic) and was developed by Dr. Randolf Stone. Its fundamental
purpose is to allow the vital energy to flow freely in the body. Its action
proves both preventive and curative since the restoration of energy balance
helps the proper functioning of the human body.
It helps to raise awareness of the whole body. It is an asset for health
management. Polarity sets in motion the mechanisms of the body to free the head
and change moods, etc.
The polarity care takes place in a quiet, clean and well ventilated
place. If the person wants it, the therapist can put soft music. The work is
usually done on a massage table for comfort and the person stays dressed.
The therapist always places both hands (the touches are very soft
contacts on the body), one on a negative pole and the other on a positive or
neutral pole. He waits for the energy to start moving again and when the vital
flow is flowing normally he goes to the next position.
