WHAT IS POLARITY THERAPY?

Polarity Therapy is a profound holistic health care system, which balances life energy in the body. It is based on 5 elements found in Ayurvedic medicine. Polarity is the practical application of understanding that everything is animated by energy. It includes bodywork, cleansing and health building diets, simple exercises and communication skills.

BACKGROUND
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone (1890-1981), a chiropractor, osteopath and naturopath. His genius lay in his ability to see the essential principles unifying diverse approaches to healing. Stone traveled the world to discover different healing modalities. He took the best of Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions and integrated them with quantum physics to develop a cohesive bodywork-based system known as Polarity. He believed that there are five elements in all things.
