THÉRAPIE

Fasciatherapy and Sensorial Gymnastics (SG)

Fasciatherapy

Faciatherapy helps make mobile that which is immobile. This manual therapy is precise and exacting : moving with the tissue in a slow manner, with pressure that is more or less strong, with stretches that are more or less profound and with supporting points held for more or less time. This procedure assists the body in the freeing of tensions, blockages and suffering.

Fasciatherapy works to restore the coherence and amplitude of the sensorial movement, in other words the internal movement fully perceived. This living organisation of our bodies guarantees the liberty of our joints, the comfort and vitality of our movements. It is in this guarantees the liberty of our joints, the comfort and vitality of our movements. It is in this way that the natural intelligence of the human body manages the deep equilibrium of the person harmoniously.

The Danis Bois Method (DBM) of fasciatherapy is a manual therapy that reaches the body at a heretofore unsuspected depth.

Fasciatherapy treats in depth and with success :

- loss of vitality and chronic fatigue

- sleeping disorders and depression

- backaches, sciatica, neck pain, sprains

- headaches, sinusitis, digestive problems

(constipation, stomach and colon pain…)

It is also effective in prevention and support in case of :

- inflammatory problems (fibromyalgia…)

- hormonal imbalances, immune weakness and allergies

- respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis, ear, nose and throat troubles

- serious pathologies (cancer, multiple sclerosis…)

Sensorial Gymnastics (SG)

Sensorial Gymnastics (SG) is the bond between internal movement and gestural expression. It is a veritable art of human movement that ties in directly with the latest discoveries in neuroscience.

SG consists of chains of gestural sequences which respect the natural physiology of the body in motion. These movements are simple, however out of the ordinary, and are performed with a relaxed slowness that solicits the body in its totality. The training is precise but agreeable. The body ceases to be a tool and becomes a sensitive partner that is invested in our gestures. The will and the muscular force dissolve into the relaxation and the propulsion from our deeper vitality. Our tensions tone down and our joints regain their ease. SG is an effective antistress practice.

SG develops our perception and improves coordination and balance. It gives gestural movement greater presence and depth. SG increases our consciousness and pleasure in movement. Our relationship with ourselves, with others and with the environment grows richer. Being better situated in time and space, our psychological solidity grows and our sense of identity and creative potential unfold.

SG can be practiced in individual sessions or in groups, or alone at home to recharge essential vitality, to minimize the tensions of daily living and to develop a new pleasure in living. To practice SG is to access the perception of gesture and to open up to the consciousness of self.

Sensorial Gymnastics (SG) is helpful to those who wish to :

- relax and better manage stress and emotional instability

- rediscover the joy and the pleasure of movement

- revitalize themselves to better health with simple movement

- rediscover self-confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of self

- develop a better psychocorporal equilibrium

Sensorial introspection

Sensorial introspection is different from other aspects of the methods in that it offers the person the opportunity to experience, whilst physically immobile, the possibility of focussing the attention inwards and of perceiving the sensorial activity animating the body.

There are three types of introspections:

• A dynamic introspection : the attention focusses on a visible movement
• A guided introspection : the person is verbally guided to discover what sensations are to be felt
• A silent introspection : the person is immobile and in contact with the silence

The verbal dialogue

In the same way that we approach the body through a silent dialogue, where the body speaks to us, our verbal dialogue relates to the laws and language of the body.

It means that we take a “lived” experience (either manual therapy, movement therapy or introspection) as a starting point for reflection to make sense of the experience, so that the person can change points of view and draw a meaning from the experience to take into everyday life.

There are three steps within this dialogue:

• verbalisation in real time : I describe the experience as it is unfolding
• post-verbalisation : after the experience, I describe what I felt, what I thought
