What is Biodynamic Massage?

Biodynamic Massage is concerned with the integration of mind and body. It works both on the physiological level of skin, tissue, muscle and bone and at the more subtle energetic level.

Its range is broad from revitalizing and invigorating, to working more deeply to release tension, to provide support and the comfort of a gently flowing massage.

Biodynamic massage is designed to respond to the energy and particular needs of each individual.

Benefits

• Getting in touch with your body and being more aware what goes on in your body.
• Helps dissolve "blocks" of accumulated tension, offering space to breath and restore a sense of balance.
• It can help relieve chronic symptoms such as headaches, hypertension, digestive problems, depression, anxiety , insomnia and pain.

Biodynamic massage is especially suited for working with psycho-somatic symptoms, or symptoms which originate from the conflict between body and mind.

How does it work?

The psycho-peristalsis is the actual healing mechanism in the body. This healing function -the digestion of the by-product of nervous and emotional stress- is the core of healing of body, mind and psyche.

• The gut is digesting feelings and the after effects of stress through our digestive organs.
• Using a stethoscope for listening to the psycho-peristalsis (tummy rumblings).
• This provides a particular feedback to help the therapist to monitor the internal state while working.
• By focusing on the nervous system the massage therapist can address the stress at its roots in the body.

How is it different from other massages?

• The therapist meets the client´s emotional state and energy.
• Biodynamic massage is based on a psychological understanding of the body.
• The therapists are trained to respond to both the emotional and physical dynamics in the body and can help to make sense of it.
• The therapists presence, combined with the touch assists the process of making connections between mental, emotional and physical states.
