My work as a therapist is using the different modalities and using the holistic principles that I have learned to help my clients, as well as to use the experience for my own development.
I use a combination of therapies and work at different levels. I also work on the level of prevention.
I see that the body is made up of a number of systems that work together as a single unit. The organs, glands, circulation, nerves, muscles and skeletal system all have their separate roles, yet they work together for optimum health. I treat the body as a whole and I aim for the connection of body, mind and spirit.
My responsibilities and duties as a therapist are to:
- Identify stress or imbalance anywhere in the body or the mind
- Establish connections between stress and imbalances
- Discover which stresses are primary and which are secondary
- Test the patient to find the most effective correction, remedy or treatment before applying it
- Evaluate and balance the musculo-skeletal system
- Massage reflexes to improve lymphatic drainage
- Activate reflexes to improve the vascular system
- Identify individual food/substance sensitivity and individual nutritional needs
- Activate reflexes to defuse emotional stress and trauma
- Improve co-ordination through specific movement
