When you are consider body support system is perhaps the best piece of equipment that a body worker or therapist can ever have in their practice. This incredibly versatile system was originally designed for chiropractic practice and is now widely used by many practitioners in the United States and throughout Europe
And the unique design of the body support system allows for the pelvic, thoracic and cranial structures of the body to be gently supported enabling the muscles of the body and the internal organs to find a state of ease and at the same time create a neutral position for the spine. When the body is in this state of ease with less pressure and torsion within structures it is more responsive to treatment or therapy and the response is more likely to be long term.
When using a conventional massage table or couch, even one with a face cradle it is obvious that the body is not comfortable on a flat surface. Even the best quality tables and couches with the deepest foam do not allow the body to be supported in a neutral state. The pressure on the pelvic structure transfers to the sacrum and lumbar spine, placing stress on the core musculature of the body. This in turn compresses internal organs and impedes function and blood flow which is the compounded by pressure on the thorax creating more restriction. When a body is in this stressed and compressed condition how can it respond to any kind of treatment? If there is a response how much deeper and longer lasting do you think it would be if the body was in a state of ease. When you think about it is really is a no brainer so why do so many practitioners and therapists still work on a flat surface?
It is true that some techniques and adjustments require a flat surface, if you are using a body cushion it is light easy to move and store so moving it is not a problem. Most clients that come for therapy and treatment have pain and or trauma stored deep within their core structure. How can you hope to help them if you are not able to get the body into a state of ease to release the cause of their suffering.
Body support system enables the therapist to work with the body in both prone and supine positions and with adjustments can be used for side position and for treating at a desk. There is a caddy pack of wedges to provide support and adjustment variations and armrests that can be easily removed. This versatile package can even be adjusted to cater for all trimesters of pregnancy providing support and often relief for expectant mothers.
Therapists and practitioners that have a body cushion body support system wonder how they ever worked without one. It really does make that much difference.
