BodyTalk for Injury, Rehabilitation, Sports Performance
In BodyTalk, no two persons with the same injury are being treated the same way. Instead of looking at the event that triggered or caused the injury, BodyTalk instead looks at why was that body part weak in the first place to allow the injury to happen.
The role of the Certified BodyTalk Practitioner is to elucidate the psychology of the body parts, the flow of Chinese Meridian energy through these body parts and the specific emotions stuck in the muscle, tendons, ligaments, fascia and connective tissue that create weakness in the body for an individual person in a particular context. This understanding and shift in awareness is passed on to the client, thus preventing the injury from recurring and reducing long-term medical bills.
Both athletes and the layman hugely benefit from The BodyTalk System™ in maintaining the body, preventing and recovering from injury and sickness, and fine-tuning performance. BodyTalk works quickly for athletes because they tend to already be in good shape and know their bodies well.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
In treating sports injuries, BodyTalk directs the body's innate self-healing capacity specifically to the injured area, facilitating efficient and rapid recovery. Additionally, BodyTalk can aid in addressing lingering effects of past injuries or chronic recurring injuries that individuals may have merely tried to tolerate or cope with. BodyTalk acknowledges the significant impact that the psychological aspect of the body has on overall health. Rather than solely targeting symptoms, BodyTalk seeks to identify the root causes of illness by considering the entirety of the individual and their personal story. Consequently, treatment approaches may vary for individuals even if they exhibit similar symptoms.
Physical Maintenance and Injury Prevention
Used as part of an athlete’s regular maintenance program, BodyTalk can prevent injury or address incompletely healed injuries. Athletes can gain strength and endurance and maintain an ideal weight. BodyTalk sessions can be supplemented by BodyTalk Access techniques you can do yourself at home.
Fine-tuning for Elite Sports Performance
BodyTalk helps to harmonize and align all enzymes, hormone levels, and bodily systems to optimize performance. It creates a balanced internal chemistry within the body, facilitating an efficient and self-sustaining endocrine system. For athletes, one of the most gratifying aspects is experiencing a sense of serenity and unity when all body parts operate in perfect synchronicity.
Sports Psychology & Mental Training
Do you fall apart under pressure? Do you perform well in practice but become stressed when it’s time for the race? BodyTalk can effectively address the following by looking at sub-conscious factors and disempowering powerful belief systems.
Performance Anxiety
Self-Esteem Issues
Lack of self-worth affecting performance
Existential Fear
Self-sabotage - E.g. “I am too old for this.”
Injury as an excuse to not perform
Fear of fulfilling your real potential should you be injury-free
Fear or guilt of disappointing self or others
Fear of not knowing how to accept you are good enough for what you do
Fear of not being good enough
Fear of not being the best
Fear of not knowing what is next if you have already achieved everything
Strengthening the Musculoskeletal System for Sports Performance and Injury Rehabilitation
In a healthy body, the joints and intervertebral discs of the spine are subjected to tension rather than compression, enabling a buoyant and effortless gait that minimizes impact. R. Buckminster Fuller, an engineer, inventor, and architect, applied this principle, known as tensegrity, in the construction of large, self-sustaining geodesic domes that distributed pressure evenly. BodyTalk utilises this concept of self-supporting structures, akin to those found in nature, to leverage the body's inherent shock-absorbing capabilities, ensuring supple joints and seamless movements.
