What to expect after a treatment
A treatment involves bodywork and mindwork and after a session you can sometimes experience different natural sensations. The gentle moves will activate your body's own innate healing to be activated and can sometimes be tiring, so respect the need to rest. Your body-mind system will use the hours an days that follow the session to calibrate and fine tune your system. You might consciously notice differences in various aspects of your life, but consciousness is not necessary for things to happen.
After a treatment you might experience some muscle pain as a result of the bodywork. It is normal and usually fades within a few hours, leaving you even more refreshed than before. Besides its pure physical aspects, a treatment elicits powerful responses from your whole being. Together we will ensure that everything is done in a pace that is suitable and safe for you.
Allow yourself to experience the full benefits of a treatment long after the session. When your balance is regained, you will be stronger than before. Being with your mind-body while these changes occur will prove to be an extremely self-educating experience for you. If you pain or fatigue levels seem worse it is important for you to phone us.
