All techniques offered are complementary and therefore not a replacement for regular care!

II. Methodology

All techniques offered use a combination of conversation and touch techniques – always clothed (comfortable clothing recommended). The average duration of a session is approximately 75 minutes with the typical attrition rate

Intake/Anamnesis: discussion about the goals of the session, complaints and medical data on the basis of which we determine the technique to be applied.

We move to the massage table, the client lies down comfortably on his/her back, without shoes. Based on the chosen technique, we continue with:

  1. Kinesiology: after some basic verifications, using muscle testing and a variety of protocols, we investigate the problem, the root cause (in the past) and the protocol(s) to bring the system back into balance. The protocols are run and results verified. Exercises can be recommended for the coming period to anchor the changes.
  2. Craniosacral reflexology: various points mainly on the craniosacral “tree” (sacrum, spine and skull) are gently manipulated, lying on the back and the abdomen. In addition to deep relaxation (with or without music as desired), a few steps are sometimes taken.
  3. Access Bars: various points mainly on the head are gently touched for several minutes per point. We work in silence and without music, only any discomfort is indicated during the session.

After applying the touch technique, we calmly return to the chairs to discuss any questions and follow-up and to arrange payment.
