Kinesthetic Therapy & Chronic Suffering

Chronic Suffering from Pain or Autoimmune Disease is a deeply personal experience and therefore differs with every client whom suffers with it. Kinesthetic Therapy may be of help to those who are looking for a holistic approach to managing or healing their chronic symptoms. 

Because chronic symptoms are unique to each individual, an approach to management and relief must also be individualized. Kinesthetic Therapy tailors every session to the personal experience of the client. We are dedicated to "wholism" or the belief that we are an integrated living system, rather than a summation of parts. This means that your experience is affected and effects the many aspects that make you,  "you". Your thoughts, emotions, physical functioning and capacity are  interconnected and interdependant. This belief is the foundation of how we work with anyone, but especially those with systems that are expressing chronic dis-ease. 

The founder of Structural Integration Ida Rolf - defines pain as "sensation accompanied by the motor intention to withdraw”. It is the nervous system's "motor" or "physical" intention to withdraw that we at Kinesthetic Therapy can initially work with whether musculoskeletal or visceral. With chronic symptoms, we often lose our ability to have varying sensations in our tissues that can lead to "loss of self". This can be improved and retrained with safety, work and time. We can then ultimately lead the client towards physical freedom and wellness.
