THE FOUNDER

Dr. Randolph Stone

Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, doctor of Osteopathy, Naturopathy and Chiropractic, over a period of 60 years of practice and study which began in 1912 and ended with his retirement at age 83. It represents a synthesis of the health wisdom from the West and the East.

Dr. Stone studied the ayurvedic system of India and folk health practices of many cultures including homeopathy, and oriental medicine,

From these systems he extracted the essential principles of healing and incorporated them into a simple, clear and universally applicable approach to natural healthcare called Polarity Therapy.

 

My definition of what is Polarity Therapy

Polarity is a holistic healing system.
It works the body, mind, emotional and energetic bodies having its roots in Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and Hermetic Science.

Imagine asking the question; what is health?  To a Polarity therapist, health is the natural balanced flow of energy.

Polarity is used to start the healing process using protocols, manipulations, nutrition and energy yoga that works on the 5 elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth) and the chakras, our primal energy.  A total healthcare system for  the individual.

Polarity therapy involves:

Philosophy
Touch
Energy flow
Nutritional tips
Polarity yoga
Massage, reflexology and chakras techniques
Meditation
Self-healing

Here is a video introduction from the Wellness Institute which gives the best explanation to the long asked question:  What is Polarity Therapy?

 

As a practitioner I often get the questions.

How does it work?

What do I need to do?

 What goes on in a Polarity Therapy session?

 

Traditionally Polarity Therapy is done on a massage table.
It is a type of energy massage with manual manipulations.

Polarity Therapy is generally done with clothing and blankets as you can get cold during the session.  A good idea is to wear natural fibers. Comfortable, loose fitting clothes…

The session starts with a brief discussion, gathering information on your reasons for the visit, your concerns and expectations.
Depending on the therapist, they might talk or they may not talk much and just get to it on the table.
My style is to talk to gather info and then to do a physical overview and check energetically what your body is communicating.

Usually a session can last around an 1 hour.  30 minutes for children or elderly.
At times my sessions can last an hour and a half.  Depends on what is going on and what I am called to work on.

As the client your job is to relax and let things go as they will.  Your mind will travel and you may experience many sensations throughout your body.

We would then end the session with a brief discussion of how things went and what may have been experienced.
