Benefits of Bodywork Therapy

What is bodywork? It is a type of massage that encompasses a wide array of techniques to reach a little deeper than just the physical body. It is usually practiced with a flow of movement which can cause us to enter into a very relaxing trance where some people experience emotional releases from past traumas or stored emotions. In a nutshell here are some of the most important benefits of bodywork.

Main Benefits of Bodywork

• Bodywork can help relieve and digest stress and the problems and diseases associated with it.

• Bodywork can help a person heal from physical and emotional trauma, helping them rediscover pleasure and trust in both their own body and in other person.

• Bodywork can help to move from mental blocks more rapidly. Psychotherapists often refer their clients to bodyworkers both to help bring things to the surface and to aid in integration. Some people intuitively seek bodywork for this purpose on their own.

• Bodywork can play an important role in facilitating the process of transformation in people who are seeking emotional and spiritual growth. People often experience an altered state of consciousness during bodywork sessions that can be in itself a powerful healing experience.

• Allowing oneself to experience pleasure is an important and powerful benefit of bodywork. At the same time, bodywork can make it easier to feel painful or uncomfortable feelings that need space and permission to be experienced.

• Bodywork increases one’s awareness of the body and feelings. It can reacquaint someone with a sense of wholeness that may have been lost since childhood. It can also aid a person in becoming friends again with their body.
