Bodywork

Bodywork can not only help to release stresses and distresses, it can also improve posture and energy levels as well as bringing the mind and the body closer together.

There are therapeutic interventions that specifically concentrate on the senses, the nervous system and the memory in order to aid recovery and wellness. Another name to describe these interventions and techniques is ‘psychosensory therapies.’ Some of them work by bringing traumatic memories to the forefront of the mind, where they can then be safely processed and the impact lessened, while others use the senses of the body to rebalance the neurochemical activity within the brain.
