Polarity Therapy: The Healing Science of Balancing Energy

Unlock your potential and become certified as a Polarity Practitioner!

Polarity Therapy is the healing science of balancing energy within the body. The universal concept discovered by Dr. Randolph Stone, D.C., D.O. was that disease is the outward manifestation of blocked energy. His work is based in ancient, traditional healing systems gathered from around the world including: Naturopathy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicines. Dr. Stone used Ayurvedic concepts to classify energy patterns as Five Elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These Elements correspond with the physical, mental, and emotional energy cycles of our lives. Quantum physics has confirmed what Polarity Therapists have known since the 1940's; "Energy Is the Basis of All Life".

Symptoms of disease, stress and discontent are messages that our body gives us to point out specific areas of imbalances that require attention. Through gentle hands-on bodywork, exercise and nutritional evaluation, Polarity Therapists learn to identify patterns and release blockages. The energy within will quickly and easily restores itself to its natural state of balance increasing quality of life.
