Body Alignment Treatment in Stilbaai

*Body Alignment is a complementary health technique that promotes the body’s capacity for self healing. The movement administered facilitates the relaxing of muscles, relieving the tension on the nerves which cause the pain.

Body Alignment facilitates the optimal neural communication between the body and brain to enable the body to alert the brain as to where and what is being compromised and for the brain to take corrective measures to remedy this.

In a perfect body and life that have no stressors, the body is capable to restore itself. But environmental factors, our posture, emotions and mindset etc. influences the body’s capabilities to restore itself, as far as generalised and specific aches and pains in muscles and joints, as well as functioning organs impacted by distorted neural communication.

With prolonged untreated or unreleased muscle tension, it will eventually cause physical damage in the body. For example, if a muscle in tension is causing an unequal pull on a knee or hip joint and it is not released, it can lead to cartilage degeneration and the eventual necessity of knee or hip replacement.

Body alignment facilitates the release of this tension and the unblocking thereof to restore communication with the central nervous system.

Unfortunately, the Body alignment practitioner have no control over where the body will start with the healing process. Therefore, the practitioner will work the body as a whole. Body alignment encourages holistic awareness as the client realises the nuances of referral pain, for example a tightness in the lower back can possibly be the cause of digestive issues, sore shoulders, headaches etc.
