Psycho-Physical Re-Education

Psycho-Physical Re-Education was developed by Robert Masters and is an effective form of bodywork. It helps speed recovery from major injuries and works well with the elderly. Using gentle passive movement (without the client assistance) frees the joints and the surrounding fascia restoring relaxation and flexibility.

The movements begin as very slow and small and become more pronounced as the relaxation. Once the movement is established then the client follows a routine of exercises that bring about relaxation with the least amount of tension as possible.

Quite simply you start by looking for the tissue that seems immobile and work to free the tissue around the joint. In more complex work, he asserts that there are five aspects to a body which make up the physical, spiritual and energetic levels.

In using the different aspects of the human form you can bring about healing. I tend to use the visualizations and physical techniques that help restore movement.
