How Body Work Can Help With Pain

A lot of people think that if you treat a person as a whole instead of focusing on just the body or just the mind, it is more effective. This is an idea that has been around for some time and has caused the development of many new forms of alternative treatments and therapies.

 What makes body work successful? The massage therapist is trained to pick up on cues to let her know what your mental and physical state is during the massage. A massage therapist is trained to notice if you respond well to a particular type of touch or if he needs to try something else.

 

The massage therapist knows how to read your verbal and non-verbal cues and pick up on your feelings by noticing how you are breathing, how you move your body, and talking to you about how well the massage therapy is helping you.

 

Doctors are trained to read medical cues like your blood pressure but a body work massage therapists pick up cues from what you say and how you say it, what you do and he talks to you about what he is noticing while he is giving you the massage. This helps you learn to read the same cues and makes you more aware of the mind and body connection, which allows you to heal faster.

 

One type of body work is reflexology where pressure is used on your hands and feet to reduce pain and suffering. This is only one of the many varieties of body works that are in existence to help people with physical pain and emotional stress.

 

Some of the most popular types of body works are:

 

* Lymphatic Massage - gets oxygen flowing in your body

* Ortho-Bionomy - relieves tension by moving your body

* Polarity Therapy - works with the polar opposites of positive and negative in your body

* Hot Stone Massage - uses stones of a variety of temperatures to heal the body

 

Body works is not a new concept. It was used thousands of years ago as a natural way to heal people.
