Body Self Developments System

This name conceals a unique and very effective form of massage that offers a solution to a variety of bodily and psyhic problems. It is a form of massage that blends the best from different alternative systems with a very precise tecnique of manipulation and a good portion of common sense. The purpose is partly to loosen the tensions in the muscles and particularly around the joints, thereby allowing your system to work optimally, and partly to become attentive to the mechanisms that causes these tensions to continually arise. By getting closer to the mechanism one begins to gather the nessesary material for first to be able to see oneself as one is and next to be able to replace it with something different.

The treatment begins with a general loosening of the body for me to be able create a picture of the connections between the tensions and the imbalances. Next the respiration is opened which is our most important tool for being able to let go of tensions and create space for ourselves in body and psyche. The body is loosened from head to foot with special focus on the needing areas and at the end the pressure is released in the neck and spinal column. Throughout the treatment there is a big emphasis on the sensations and resistances that is experinced.

This form of treatment, that is developed in Denmark during the past 50 years by the Hartung-family, has proved to be one of the most beneficient to deal with most of the problems that are bound to arise due to the way we organize our working- and private lives. From little problems like tennis-elbows and frozen shoulders to big heavy cases of disease. The speed everything has makes it impossible for us to keep up and the more and more specialized functions we perform locks the body (and psyche) into very particular patterns that are very difficult to break. This limits our possibilities very much and our need to experience ourselves in a different way grows. The satisfaction it gives to open to the needs of the body (and psyche) facilitates that we can use our energy far more efficient and focussed.

-but like in all other crafts the important part is not the system or the structure but the person that has to perform the task, so a little bit about myself:

My name is Søren Christensen, 38 years, married and the father of two lovely kids. I´m a trained actor with a proffesional carrer of 20 years behind me. Through my work with theater my interest in the functions of the body and the psyche has been aroused in me and I therefore took a degree in this method of working. I try to divide my time between the theater and treatment and I try very much to make use of my experiences from both fields which I find supplement each other very well. I believe I have a different approch to working with people than most in the alternative world. I tend to look at life from that "bent" angle, nessesary for an actor to have, and to bring that into my treatments. The most important for me is not to give answers but to make space for the right questions and by that expand the number of possibilities.
