Polarity Therapy Techniques and Concepts

The video tutorial demonstrates various hand positions used in polarity therapy, focusing on techniques like the occipital cradle, foot rocking, tummy rock, five-pointed star, and path of fire. Each technique is explained with emphasis on stimulating energy flow and listening for pulsations. The session concludes with a return to sub occipital contact, allowing comparison of the system's state before and after treatment.
