Bev has been practicing as a Body worker for the past eight (8) years. She has combined her modalities into one overall system of therapy called Rhythmic Waves. She has had excellent results working with the following health problems.

* Migraine Headaches *Chronic Fatigue *Fibromyalgia *Tempromandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) *Emotional Difficulties *Chronic Neck, Back and Body Pain *Learning Disabilities *Stress and Tension Related Problems *Central Nervous System Disorders *Scoliosis * Infantile Disorders *Balance Problems *Sprains/strains * Irritable Bowel*Syndrome, * Insomnia*Depression*Loss of Vitality*Detoxification*Sinusitis

What is 'Rhythmic Waves Healing'?

HISTORY

Rhythmic Waves healing is an integration of Cranio Sacral Therapy, Somato Emotional release, lymphatic drainage, visceral manipulation and positional release techniques found in Ortho-Bionomy. Each of these modalities were developed by Osteopathic Doctors.

CRANIO SACRAL THERAPY Dr. John Upledger, D.O, O.M.M.

The Cranio Sacral system consists of a membranous tube, surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord. It is within this tube the cerebro-spinal fluid is being pumped in a continuous rhythmic motion, which is known as the Cranio-Sacral rhythm. This tube extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum at the base of the spine. As the cranial pump produces and delivers cerebrospinal fluid, the nerves are being bathed with fresh nutrients vital to a healthy immune and central nervous system.

Due to stresses, injuries, emotional difficulties, etc. the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues become tight, stressing the tube. As tissue is attached to bone, the bones are used as handles to release these restrictions.

SOMATO EMOTIONAL RELEASE Dr. John Upledger, D.O., O.M.M.

The body and psyche work in relationship to protect us from feeling painful emotions. When the muscles and organs begin to release tension, emotion that has been held in the body will often surface. The body only releases these emotions when the psyche is prepared to deal with it. (If a person is unwilling to let go of the emotion, it will remain held in the body.) Freeing ourselves from old emotional wounds allows us live our lives with full confidence. Where we once held ourselves tightly, holding back from meeting our true potential, we can now embrace new experiences.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (Dr. Bruno Chikly's Techniques)

A proper functioning lymph system drains fluids, detoxifies, regenerates tissues and filters out toxins and foreign substances to maintain a healthy immune system. Fatigue, stress, lack of physical activity emotional shock, cold temperatures, infections, substantial swelling, age, chemicals or food additives are all factors in preventing proper lymph flow. As a result, lymph circulation stagnates and fluids, proteins, cells and toxins accumulate, compromising cellular function. This can create many physical ailments and may hasten the aging process.

Using exacting anatomical science, Lymph Drainage is accomplished by detecting the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymphatic flow. The work is gentle, generally not using much more than a few grams and can be integrated with other therapies or used as a specific treatment on its own.

VISCERAL MANIPULATION (Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral, R.P.T., DO.)

For proper functioning, there must be a synchronicity between the motion of all internal organs and their surrounding tissues. As the cardiovascular system pumps Blood, the lymphagions pump lymph and the Cranio Sacral system pumps Cerebro Spinal fluids, each of the organs are moving in their own rhythm. Due to imposed stresses on the organs and their connective tissues, the organs become compromised and efficient functioning becomes inhibited. With specific anatomic knowledge, proper function is re-established, thereby allowing structural integrity to return to the body.

POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUES found in Ortho-Bionomy

(Dr.Arthur Lincoln Pauls)
Due to factors such as stress, accident, injury, improper posture and emotional trauma the nervous system becomes short-circuited. This can add more stress to the body as it tries to re- adapt. Using Positional Release Techniques the body's innate ability to find the 'right place' is then listened to. With a very gentle touch, the practitioner encourages the changes to take place by simply following the movements or taking the body furthered into the 'preferred' posture. By using these techniques the nerves that respond to muscle function in the nervous system will self-balance, bringing a sense of physical and emotional well being to the receiver.

HOW RHYTHMIC WAVES WORK

Methods that are used for assessing energy disruptions in the body vary from feeling into the Cranio Sacral Rhythm and sensing irregularities, to feeling restrictions in the deep fascia (the netting that holds us together). Bev uses the appropriate techniques to bring balance to the body and the psyche by sensing vibrations, pulls or stillness in the body.

WHO SHOULD RECEIVE THIS WORK?

Anyone in physical or emotional pain will benefit from this work. In addition, anyone desiring optimum health or preventing illness will find this work a great source of relaxation and an opportunity for deepening their daily experience in the world. Daily stresses that accumulate in the body, blocking energy and having the potential for creating disease are likely to be reduced if not eliminated.

The body only needs to be reminded of where the 'right' place is. After a period of time it will find its own way as awareness has been brought to it.

HEALING MADE SIMPLE

Dr. John Upledger DO., OMM, always says' the patient is your best teacher. 'Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral says, "Only the tissues know for sure". I've always loved that. It's made my work so easy. All I have to do is show up and listen to the patient and their body. With five (5) grams of touch I follow the subtle waves of cerebro spinal fluid, the rhythmic motions of the organs and discover the direction of ease for the body. In following this simple system organs regain proper function, the nervous system is repaired, aches, pains and illnesses disappear and our emotional body has been gently touched. Rhythmic Waves healing sessions honor the body, the mind and the spirit. It's simple!
