Hellerwork is an integrated system of bodywork, helping to connect and reorganize body alignment through a process of functioning, emotion, body structure and expended energy.
Once you realize how some of your movements have become harmful habits, you can release the old and bring in the new, more natural movements.
It is an holistic treatment that is based on the theory that if the body is under stress and there is misalignment in the musculoskeletal system, then health problems will certainly arise, if they haven’t already.
Health Benefits of Hellerwork
Hellerwork is another bodywork therapy that provides similar health benefits to other therapies. Just some of the benefits are:
Joseph Heller, Founder
Heller was an engineer, working in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but became enamored with bioenergetics and the Gestalt method of therapy.
He received advanced training from Dr. Rolf and from Dr. Brugh Joy, a noted physician, author and innovator in the field of preventive medicine and the use of energy as a means of healing. In 1976 he became the first president of the Rolf Institute.
Later, he developed his own style of bodywork, based on manipulative massage and established a training facility in California for Hellerwork.
Restoring Balance for Health and Healing
Hellerwork is a series of sessions of deep tissue bodywork and movement education designed
to realign the body and release chronic tension and stress bringing back balance to the structure.
With the added benefit of innovative ideas such as the movement education and verbal dialogue
into the mix.
Optimizing your body movements is a major step to healing and relieving pain and tension that comes from a body that’s imbalanced through incorrect body movements. Hellerwork focuses on restoring that balance, creating a more relaxed and youthful body and mind.
The Three Components of Hellerwork
Hellerwork combines bodywork, movement education and dialogue to get powerful results of relieving pain and tension and helping your body move with a natural ease rather than rigidity and pain.
Here are the three components of Hellerwork:
Component One – Bodywork
Bodywork is the hands-on component and works by a practitioner helping you first release the tension and rigidity that naturally builds in your body through incorrect movement patterns.
Component Two - Movement Education
Movement education is another component of Hellerwork, acting to increase awareness of how you move and how it affects your alignment and balance in everything you do. You’ll develop new patterns of movement which will rid your body of tension.
Component Three - Dialogue
Dialogue is the other component of the Hellerwork system of bodywork. During the process, you’ll exchange dialogue with your practitioner and learn to recognize patterns causing body tension and stress.
Throughout the dialogue, you’ll gain tremendous insights in how your thinking is influencing your body and learn to change it by dealing with problems as they occur.
The Hellerwork method can help you to live a more relaxed and pain-free life with reduced physical effort.
In the newsletter this week I will give you a session to explore and play with.
