This title offers a description of Rosen Method Bodywork and the training program.

Rosen Method bodywork is a powerful tool for stress reduction and for reaching the body / mind connection through touch. It is a type of complementary health care often recommended by doctors, psychotherapists and chiropractors as an adjunct to their treatment. Rosen Method is effective in easing chronic tension and its ill effects on the mind and body. It is a valuable technique for personal growth and for finding the path of the heart and soul in one's life and living more fully in the present.

Rosen Method bodywork is often used by people who are seeking relief from headaches, back pain, muscle tension, joint pain, injuries, insomnia, and chronic conditions like asthma and chronic fatigue. The work can be supportive for people with eating disorders and healing for survivors of physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse.

Rosen Method is distinguished by its gentle, direct touch. Using hands that listen rather than manipulate, the practitioner focuses on chronic muscle tension. As relaxation occurs and the breath deepens, unconscious feelings, attitudes, and memories may emerge.

The Rosen practitioner has been trained to notice subtle changes in muscle tension and shifts in the breath. S/he recognizes these as indications that the client is relaxing and becoming more aware of his/her body and internal experience. The practitioner responds with touch and words that allow the client to begin to recognize what has been held down by unconscious muscle tension.

As this process unfolds, habitual tension and old patterns may be released, freeing the client to experience more aliveness, new choices in life, and a greater sense of well-being.

It has long been recognized that touch can have a powerful effect on the body. When we are relaxed through touch our natural healing mechanisms work more effectively; the immune system is strengthened and the breath becomes less inhibited and more efficient. Certain touch encourages the release of the hormone oxytocin, increasingly recognized as an important agent in promoting feelings of well-being and connection.

"Rosen Method combines both knowledge and art. Its basic principles are:
Touching with a soft hand,
Allowing the breath to flow,
Going deep to meet the unconscious,
And keeping in mind the power of simplicity."
-- Marion Rosen PT
