Polarity Therapy

The Healing Art of the Future

For people who have been on their healing or creative journey for years, Polarity Therapy is the healing art of choice. The reason is simple: Polarity Therapy Works. The results and benefits of receiving regular polarity therapy sessions exceeds all other modalities because it addresses the basic underlying cause; blocked energy. Until the energy is cleared and aligned, the physical, emotional and psychological symptoms cannot resolve.

Would I be a good Polarity Therapist?

Are you sensitive? Do you feel like you live in a world of untapped potential? Are you creative? Do you like to help people to grow and transform? If you answered yes to these questions then  you could be an excellent polarity therapist.

Polarity therapy is the study and application of the sublime energy systems.  By learning the theory and techniques of working with these energies you will transform your life as well as the lives of the people you work with.

Is it hard to learn Polarity Therapy?

If taught correctly learning Polarity Therapy is more like remembering something that you have always known rather than learning something foreign. The reason is because Polarity Therapy is based on everything you should already be if you were in your perfection so it is a completely natural experience. However, this is only the case if it is taught correctly.

If the curriculum is designed correctly and the teaching staff is experienced in both Polarity and teaching, learning Polarity Therapy can be one of the most important experiences of your life. Your knowledge of your body, energy system and relationship to your world should be deeply transformative. You owe it to yourself to go to the best Polarity Therapy school you can find. You will never regret it.

How do I get Started?

1. Visit a school and learn more about Polarity Therapy.

2. Get a polarity session in the student clinic to experience the work that students are learning.

3. Check out more than one school and get more than one session in the clinic.

This gives you a chance to see the quality of the school and the approach used in teaching polarity. The biggest question is, do they understand what Polarity Therapy is all about?

The school should be able to answer your questions about licensing and how to become a Registered Polarity Practitioner (RPP). A good school has a clear curriculum and schedule that meets the standards of the American Polarity Therapy Association. The school should also have a clear code of ethics that teaches the effective use of boundaries in Polarity Therapy.

Why Polarity Therapy is the Healing Art of the Future?

Polarity Therapy represents the leading edge of healing therapies. Through the convergence of Eastern esoteric knowledge and Western scientific research, Polarity Therapy is the expression of this union. Polarity Therapy is more than a form of bodywork. Polarity is an understanding of the basic matrix of life and manifestation.

Polarity Therapy was developed originally by Doctor Stone to discover how to go beyond the healing principles of chiropractic and osteopathic medicine. Doctor Stone traveled the world looking for answers and synthesized Polarity Therapy from Ayurvedic healing, homeopathy and many other alternative healing methods. Polarity Therapy has developed along many lines since that time as subsequent practitioners have interpreted Doctor Stones original work in different ways. Therefore, Polarity Therapy is practiced and taught in a variety of ways today based on each interpretation of Doctor Stone's notes.

Polarity Therapy is the practical application using points of contact on the body and energy fields along with using the energetic qualities of food, exercise and thoughts to open the natural healthy flows and patterns of energy that define the physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic body. Based on the understanding that matter and energy are in a constant state of exchange (E=MC²) that can be manipulated through the intention and physical intervention of a trained practitioner, the results of sessions are both deeply aligning, gentle and yet powerful on all levels.

As with water and wind, with proper attention and technique energy can be used to generate great force and if unrestricted can generate great destruction. When a person receives regular Polarity Therapy sessions their body becomes a well honed vessel of incredible strength, clarity and creativity. Recipients of regular Polarity sessions understand that life can be incredible when everything is flowing correctly. Performers such as athletes, musicians, business people and parents call this being in the zone.

Featured Polarity Therapy School

Spa Tech Institute

Spa Tech Institute has been training students for professional careers in the health and image industries since 1976. The school's reputation for giving the students excellent skills as well as the understanding, inspiration and attitude to succeed are well known throughout the industry. The programs are designed by industry leaders and taught by highly skilled professionals.

The Polarity Realization Therapy curriculum has been taught and refined since 1980. Applying the understanding of energy to the teaching methodologies accelerates the student's learning capabilities.

By combining Polarity Therapy, as developed by PRI Educational Development Company with the unique personal energy management program developed by Nancy Risley, RPP, CPE,  you gain insight into the holistic healing process as you evolve into a clearer and more aligned individual.

The program includes RYSE, (Realizing Your Sublime Energies), the revolutionary personal energy management training developed by Nancy Risley.  This is the only program that offers RYSE as part of the curriculum.

RYSE gives the professional practitioner a skill set for managing their own energy to attain higher levels of awareness and clarity, a fundamental requirement for long term success as a Polarity Therapist.

Spa Tech Institute is the first school in Maine and Massachusetts to offer both beginning and advanced polarity therapy training (APP and RPP approved by the APTA).

What is Polarity Realization Therapy?

This transformational healing work is a powerful combination of Polarity Therapy and some of the techniques developed in RYSE®.  The synthesis of these two techniques creates a training that is completely unique.

Polarity Therapy is the application of how energy manifests in the human form and the ways that it can become blocked, causing illness, or cleared to create health. It was developed in 1940-1980 by Doctor Randolph Stone, a Chiropractor and Osteopath who searched the world over to find what prevented people from healing. 

With concepts from the new field of Quantum Physics that recognized energy as the building blocks of matter and finding the energy based healing modalities including Chinese medicine and Ayurveda from India, he created the break through model known as Polarity Therapy. Polarity Therapy includes energetically based bodywork, thoughts/beliefs, exercises, and nutritional understanding.

RYSE® is the study and application of how to manifest your highest potential through energy awareness and clearing.  Using this energy as a tool for self-transformation through self-realization, you learn to become an energetically aware being who is able to heal yourself on the most profound levels. This work is present in the form of advanced energy clearing techniques, energetically based channeling and communications, and client empowerment techniques.

The benefits of these combined modalities is that people move into a state of realization that allows for deep healing and the creation of new patterns of living that are consciously aligned with realizing their highest potential in all areas of their lives. 

There are also shorter introductory programs available for CEUs or for professional or personal development. Call or email the institute to schedule an appointment to review your options.

"After having one polarity session, and feeling the immediate peace and balance that occurred, I knew I wanted to share this experience with others. After eight years, I continue to enjoy a very successful practice and a superior quality of life."

Why is Spa Tech Institute a Featured School?

There are many good polarity schools throughout the country. However, Spa Tech Institute has distinguished itself as a career oriented polarity school by graduating the majority of successful practitioners in the country. (These are graduates of the Polarity Realization Therapy program, either under Polarity Realization Institute from 1980-2001, or Headhunter Spa Tech Institute or Spa Tech Institute since 2001.)

If you are considering a career as a professional energy worker, Spa Tech Institute represents the ideal interface of the understanding and application of esoteric science with the foundation of the practical skills needed to succeed as a professional practitioner.

The polarity therapy programs at Spa Tech Institute are simply outstanding in their understanding and presentation of Polarity Therapy and the quality of the school is excellent. The programs have been in existence since 1980 and continue to define the most advanced energy work available anywhere.

The polarity therapy programs were developed by Nancy Risley, RPP, CPE, a leader in the industry of energy healing since 1980. Her great understanding of working with energy started in 1968 with research in the fields of Biodynamics, nutrition, massage therapy and later Polarity Therapy. When she found Polarity Therapy in 1978 she realized that it incorporated many of the things that she had been learning and practicing since 1970. She learned it quickly and became a leading practitioner in New England for many years. In the 1980's her private practice was booked up many months in advance with an extensive waiting list.

As a pioneer in the field of Polarity and energy in the healing arts, Nancy Risley was recognized by the American Polarity Therapy Association with a special honor. She was also on the first committee that created standards for polarity therapy as well as one of the first nationally Registered Polarity Practitioners (RPP) and Certified Polarity Educators (CPE). She was the founder of the Polarity Realization Institute which is now the PRI Educational Development Company, a curriculum development company for the polarity, massage and holistic aesthetics fields. She is also the creator of HumanHaptics™, the science of touch in the healing arts. She is also the author of RYSE®, Tools for Life as well as the creator of the RYSE® system of personal energy clearing and management that includes 15 instructional CDs and the RYSE® Practitioner Training.
