What are its Roots?
Polarity Therapy was founded by Randolph Stone, and Austrian born in 1890. In the early 1900's, Stone emigrated to Chicago where he studied chiropractic, osteopathy, naturopathy, and napropathy ( as system akin to chiropractic). He also traveled the globe, observing many cultures and paying particular attention to Eastern modes: the ancient Chinese acupuncture system, the Indian Ayurvedic system, and meditative disciplines of the East. Polarity, which emerged in 1948, was Stone's synthesis of his knowledge and experience form the East and West.

What is Polarity and how does it work?
Essentially, Polarity Therapy is the science of stimulating and balancing the body's life energy. When this balancing occurs, there is a harmonizing effect on the body and mind. This naturally leads to a greater sense of well being and wholeness. Sessions consist of gentle and deep manipulations which locate and release blocked energy. This hands-on techniques relieve pain and enable the body to function optimally. A Polarity therapist may also provide guidance and support in the areas of exercise, nutrition and communication.

What can we Expect?
Much of what we receive is related to our expectations. Each session is designed specifically based on what the client says is happening physically, mentally, and emotionally, as well as what the practitioner senses form the client's body. When the body's energy is in balance, we might expect:

* Increased levels of energy by relieving fatigue
* Reduction of body stress and muscular tension
* Balance in the nervous system
* Release of emotional holding patterns
* Increased body awareness and improved self image
