Rosen Method Bodywork
~
A Hands-on Somatic Therapy
Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, improving your emotional well-being, or simply desiring a deeper connection with yourself, Rosen Method Bodywork offers a transformative journey in somatic healing toward greater awareness, resilience, and wholeness.
Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) is a holistic therapy that works with both body and mind, addressing muscle tension as a physical expression of emotional blockages and inner experiences. Sharing benefits with both psychotherapy and massage, RMB is uniquely therapeutic in combining reflective, inquisitive dialogue with gentle touch.
What to expect during a Rosen Method bodywork session:
♦RMB sessions are 60 minutes. Allow up-to 70 minutes for pre-session check-in.
♦ Rosen Method Bodywork is practiced on a massage table. You will be invited to undress to your comfort level and draped comfortably with a sheet. Pillows are used to maximize comfort. No oil is used.
♦ The entire session involves touch, while the amount of talking is variable. Dialogue is entirely organic to the moment and generally includes questions and observations from your Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner; and sharing of what is felt or experienced in you.
How to make the most of RMB:
♦ RMB is a therapeutic process, sessions are recommended weekly or bi-weekly for a minimum of 3-months. Many choose to continue for years.
♦ Plan decompression time after sessions. Do not rush back to work or social obligations.
♦ RMB amplifies traditional forms of psychotherapy and physical therapy. For those concurrently in psychotherapy, it is best to have your RMB session precede your psychotherapy session.
