WHAT IS THE BIODYNAMIC APPROACH TO TREATMENT

The approach to treatment is to follow the natural Ordering Principles that the body uses to maintain and heal itself. The practitioner learns to develop the necessary skills that will enhance these self healing processes.
These skills include the following:

• The ability to palpate the 3 Tides and to appreciate their healing nature
• An awareness of the therapeutic presence of Stillness
• An awareness of the constitutional energy of the body that can be felt as subtle layers of impulse that permeates all of the body's tissues and fluids
• Palpatory awareness of how the Body; Self -heals; self-balances; self-regulates; and reorganises
• Increased awareness of the senses as a practitioner skill
• The development of a quality of touch that allows a palpatory dialogue to occur between the Body and the Practitioner's hands and for this to be of therapeutic benifit to the clients system.
• A thorough knowledge of the Embryological development of the body & how this relates to the 'Organising Principles of the body's self healing processes'
• Study & understanding of the physical and physiological organisation of the body
• The ability to track the motility of tissue and fluid motions within the body from its surface
• The ability to differentiate between the different layers of the body's tissues and fluids

The effectiveness of this therapeutic modality is dependent on the development of all of the palpatory skills outlined above. In addition to this the practitioner needs to become wholey aware of the presence of the Breath of Life as a supporting and healing presence that permeates the whole of their practice.
