Overview

APP training teaches the basics of the polarity practice, which is founded on the teachings of Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND.

Polarity is the science and art of natural healthcare- a system of bringing the body back into balance with integrated touch therapies.

Polarity is an integrative hands-on approach to restoring balance to the mind and body. It restores harmony through complementary therapeutic methods including: bodywork techniques, guidance in Polarity exercise and stretches, self-help techniques, and energy balancing.

This form of energetic bodywork is easily integrated with other forms of bodywork such as massage and rolfing.

Polarity Therapy training is useful for all healthcare practitioners, including western medicine practitioners seeking to use a more holistic approach.

APP is a great starting point for career changers, and since the work is not physically taxing, it is also a good option for those wishing to come out of retirement to enter a new and expanding field.
