Therapeutic cushion therapy Gently rocking you back into shape

This therapeutic cushion therapy is the perfect way to gently release both physical and emotional blockages.

While you lie comfortably on the therapeutic cushion, our experienced HEART wellness lounge therapist utilises a range of massage, stretching and rotation techniques, as developed by Rolf Ott®, to restore balance.

The therapeutic cushion therapy – an integral part of the dynamic spinal therapy – begins with the therapist determining the length of your legs and, if necessary, manually realigning your pelvis with specific stretches and rotations. Then, while you lie on the soft therapeutic cushion, your body is rocked back and forth, with the gentle rhythmic motion of the cushion moving your vertebrae back into line.

With massage, stretches and rotation movements, our trained therapists enhance the beneficial effects of the vibrations produced, ultimately loosening your tense muscles. The pain caused by blockages and misalignment can thus be relieved and the healing process in your body activated.

Application of therapeutic cushion therapy

Therapeutic cushion therapy is well suited to treat the following ailments:

• Lumbago (low back pain)
• Sciatica
• Back pain
• Headache and migraine
• Tense muscles
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Hip and knee pain

Objectives of therapeutic cushion therapy

The rhythmic rocking motion on the specially designed cushion combined with the therapeutic stretches and rotations aim to relax the muscles surrounding the spinal discs and vertebrae, so as to relieve pressure in these areas as much as possible. This in turn allows the connective tissue to regenerate.

Therapeutic cushion therapy can:

• Release physical and emotional blockages
• Activate the body’s self-healing abilities
• Provide relief for (chronic) pain

For the best possible results, a movement therapy such as muscle chain training is highly recommended alongside the therapeutic cushion therapy. This training strengthens specific muscle groups and, at the same time, increases your range of motion, flexibility and coordination.
