CERTIFICATE OF POLARITY THERAPY
A 50 hour Training Programme
Recommended pre-requisite is to have had some previous Training in Massage or other Body Therapy - although this is not essential. Polarity Therapy is an ideal complement to Therapeutic and Relaxation Massage.
This Course delves into the practical use of Polarity as a therapeutic modality including the release of deep levels of tension, understanding the philosophy that forms its' basis and to work with Life Force to help in unfolding the great potential we have inside us.
We will explore the Energy systems of our Body / Mind and how to maintain harmony as well as helping others to regain health and Well-being.
You will learn a comprehensive "Full body" session and gain an appreciation and experience of many of the hands on techniques you can apply in a therapeutic situation. All Polarity techniques are done with Client clothed (except the feet!), which often allows for greater ease than Massage.
Each Workshop is conducted personally by Bruce Gibson as a 9.00am to 5.00pm day with a 1 hour lunch break. Bookings are required in advance with a non-refundable deposit of $au100. Full fee due on registration. A unique manual is provided. These Workshops are very experiential- being informative, relaxing and enjoyable - but we cover a great deal in a single day workshop.

We discuss: what are the factors in life that are potential stressors? and identify the "areas of stress" that can be foc}sed on in order to balance and stimulate the natural regenerative forces to bring the body-mind-emotions back into homeostasis with the Life Force. We emphasise the positive healing qualities and importance of a clear and focused mind. The class also includes experience of relaxation, meditation and visualisation techniques.
