Massage
The most common method of massaging
the muscles of the body is to have the patient lie of a bed.
However, massage can also be done in a chair. It is also known as
On-Site or Seated therapy. It is not intended as a treatment, but is
more for relaxation purposes. It is quite common for many business
to offer this therapy to their employees during the day or after
working hours, such as on breaks or at lunch time.
Even in the traditional form of therapy, biodynamic treatment works
across a wide variety of muscles. It consists of connective tissue
work, deep tissue work and gentle relaxation techniques. The premise
is that energy moves through the body in cycles. When these cycles
are interrupted or constricted then the body feels pain. The
therapist aims to free these constrictions and allow the energy to
flow freely once more.
Three are four movements used by therapists who work with biodynamic
treatment:
* Sympathetic Nervous system - 1. contraction/change and 2.
expression/action
* Parasympathetic Nervous System - 3. winding down and 4.
relaxation/expansion
The techniques involve not only basic touch, but there is also
lifting, stretching, packing draining and working on the connective
tissues. Each patient receives the treatment that he/she needs in
order to feel better, so there is no one size fits all technique.
This is why the therapist always does a needs assessment before
proceeding with any therapy.
Three are many harmful toxins that accumulate in the muscles of the
body. These can add to the feeling of being ill. Through treatments,
therapists help the body get rid of these wastes. It stimulates the
colon, the liver and the kidneys and they start to eliminate the
build up of wastes. It is also beneficial in helping with oxygen
transmission through the body.
