Rejuvenate Restore Recover
Rosen Method bodywork, internationally recognized in the field of somatic therapies, combines nurturing touch and dialogue to help release chronic muscle tensions stored in your body.
Marion Rosen, P.T., developed Rosen Method bodywork and movement over the past 65 years through her work as a physical therapist. In the mid-1970s she began to teach the Rosen Method in the USA. She drew on her early training in relaxation and breath work with leaders of the pre-war German somatics movement.
This personal and sensitive approach to bodywork not only deeply relaxes the mind and body, but also helps you uncover the origins of your accumulated stress.
Today, Marion Rosen's unique approach to optimum health and well-being through awareness and acceptance is available to you in hundreds of cities around the world.
Rosen Touch invites us to connect with what is in ourselves, to discover who we really are, to listen and respond rather than react, and to trust in what we know. It is a completely unique means of using touch to access the knowledge within us and to reach our true consciousness which bypasses the thinking mind and comes from a different place deep inside us.
Rosen Touch explores the connection between breath, muscle tension and the emotions. It is gentle yet deep, inquiring and supportive and never intrusive with an accompanying verbal interaction. It is a touch that meets the recipient, that doesn’t wish to fix or change. It is an allowing touch which invites people to experience what is really within them, which reveals the persons they really are, and not only the ones they show to the world.
In the course of our lives we are at times faced with things and events that are too much for us, so we put them away. The energy spent in holding "unacceptable" feelings in our bodies suppresses our vitality, takes its toll in our bodies and in our lives. In Rosen Method muscle tension is seen as the physical reflection of our holding back, and breath as the physical reflection of the opening to truth. Rosen Touch meets and listens to who we are as we are.This connection leads to awareness which allows, not only ones muscle tension to release, but also the underlying emotional holding. With this release there is often a deep sense of well-being and connection with ones true self.
When one gains access to that which has been put away, there is surrender to what has been held and a release of feelings and memories. Rosen clients often remember traumatic or other painful events in their lives and so Rosen Method is about recovering all that has been suppressed. In this process one gains access to ones ability to heal, to connect with ones strength, and joy, and to live more fully. Attitudes and beliefs that have been unconscious can be examined and the way opened to new possibilities and transformation.
Rosen Touch, when combined with psychotherapy, helps you connect to a deeper place within yourself. Gently the felt sense of old patterns, belief systems, held feelings, and unresolved conflicts which limit spontaneity and freedom can be acknowledged, explored and released.
Rosen Method honors the body and the truth and wisdom that it holds.
