Aswab therapists are trained in Biodynamic massage. We
offer massage in two different instances, and with different contracts.
Biodynamic massage can be used in certain cases for specific
stress-related, psychosomatic symptoms, e.g. insomnia, hypertension, headaches,
muscular pain, asthma, etc. Massage sessions would usually be an hour each
week, initially for six weeks. Like counselling, this form of Biodynamic
massage is targeted and shorter term.
However, Biodynamic massage really comes into its own as
part of a whole process which treats the emotional as well as the physical
side of the difficulty. Biodynamic massage may be appropriate as part of
a psychotherapy process. It may also be appropriate when the particular
difficulty is in communicating in words, when physical contact is both more
comfortable and more healing. An important feature of this longer term process,
as with psychotherapy, is the relationship between therapist and client.
