Bioregulatory Psychosomatic Bodywork generating health via the body ’ s own communication system –

Being the oldest form of healing art, massage and bodywork were practiced throughout the human history. Although Eastern end Western manual therapeutic approaches are distinctively different, both are based on healing capacity of human touch. Eastern approach includes variety of disciplines, e.g. Reflexology, Japanese Shiatsu massage, Ayurvedic massage from India, Chinese Tuina massage or Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi. Equally, there are many different types of western ‘hands on’ techniques, and some of the most commonly practiced include: Swedish massage, Californian Esalen massage, Aromatherapeutic massage, Rhythmical Biodynamic Massage and various usually Anglo-American versions of so called Holistic Massage. With the birth of New Age, we are witnessing a renaissance of therapeutic massages and bodywork techniques, where old methods are further refined, while new techniques are continually developing e.g. Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Rolfing, Bowen technique, Alexander technique, Feldenkrais technique, Polarity Massage or Craniosacral Bodywork. Bioregulatory Psychosomatic Bodywork (BPSB) is one of those manual methodologies that truly deserve their therapeutic status. All body-cantered therapeutic disciplines have the same objective: to manually regulate homeostatic mechanisms. Each technique is distinctively different, and favours only a specific aspect of bioregulation. Osteopathy, for example, primarily focuses on realignment of Muscular System, Lymphatic Drainage Massage bioregulates the Lymphatic System, while Shiatsu puts an emphasis on bioenergetic points and meridians. On the other hand, Bioregulatory Psychosomatic Bodywork is a relatively new therapy, formulated by Dr Tatyana Bosh in early nineties, which aims to facilitate an overall psychosomatic health of an individual. Psychosomatic Approach Bioregulatory Psychosomatic Bodywork integrates variety of massage and bodywork techniques into one unified manual methodology. It is utilised on different therapeutic levels, from stress-release and medical prevention to a profound curative level. BPSB
