BODYWORK PRO BONO COMMUNITY SERVICE

ONE FREE DAY EACH MONTH

Are you serious? Free??

Yes

This is a FREE monthly community service for:

• Those that genuinely can't afford usual charges for bodywork therapy right now. And you can come back next month.

• Anyone else wanting to try it is welcome for one free trial session.

What is it?

The osteopath developed therapies used are primarily Zero Balancing and Craniosacral Therapy.

The pro bono sessions last for 30 to 55 minutes, depending on need, and are done comfortably clothed, laying faceup on a massage table. A combination of acupressure-like presses and stretches are applied in a gentle and safe head-to-foot therapy.

The therapy often provides relief for those with chronic pain (eg back, hips, neck), postural stiffness (or laxity), stress related tension, anxiety, PTSD, other tissue held memory, and brain injuries like concussion or stroke.

Or even those that just need some me-time to RELAX, whatever is going on in their life.

The therapy is very relaxing and clients come away feeling more integrated, grounded, centered and balanced, more “like their old-selves” is how it is sometimes described.

Why Free?

In one sense this is a way of paying it forward, as those who helped me along the way have done. These therapies were developed by gifted geniuses in their field, and I have the special opportunity to share their great inspiration.

We are not here on earth for a long time, and I’ve come to realise that the only real fulfillment in life for me, is to help others with my hands and my presence. This way I may directly help a few people that may not be able to afford it and ease their life in some small way.

The Rules

1. These free sessions are run ONE DAY per month (most months) at each location and CANNOT be switched to a different day of the month. One session per month per person max.

(Unfortunately I have to make a living the rest of the time!)

2. Please DO NOT BOOK if you:

• have an unstable spinal condition

• are within 6 weeks of surgery

• are within 6 weeks of significant acute injury

• are within the first trimester of pregnancy

• check with me or your doctor if unsure before booking

3. Clients must be able to get themselves onto a massage table 80cm off the ground, I have a step to help with this. Also at Ngaio there is one flight of stairs that clients must be able to manage. At Upper Hutt there are just 3 steps to walk up.

4. You must book online in advance of the day using this link, or call me on this number if you have technology challenges: 027 244 5886

5. A strictly limited number of sessions are offered on a first to book basis.

6. If you like the work, but genuinely can't afford regular sessions, you can come again on the free day in future months too. You do not have to prove your financial circumstances.

7. I reserve the right to move your appointment back or forward slightly for scheduling purposes, if needed.

You will automatically be added to the mailing list for my free monthly mindfulness newsletter - Be Present

These sessions are being offered in the spirit of giving back to the community, as well as supporting those in health and emergency services who have been under the pump in recent times.

Optional Koha

If you want to make a small KOHA donation to help me cover costs, you are welcome to direct credit to:

with the reference 'koha'. You can keep it anonymous if you like. And you can do it before or after the session. This is completely optional!

So if you, or a friend, want to try something new for a quick rebalance, de-stress and recharge give some bodywork a go!

Rhys Dwyer specialises in Zero Balancing & Craniosacral Techniques

Holistic therapies aimed at optimal health and wellness:
physical, mental and more…

Others say …

“It made sense to me that you need to treat the whole body, that you can get deferred pain and that by working on the whole body you bring back the balance that not only helps the injured part but also your body as a whole. Everyone else had only focused on the hip and that didn't work so I decided to give it a try. I am so pleased that I did.” Ellen

“I have lived with back and hip pain since a back injury in 2015. I thought I’d have to live with the constant pain for the rest of my life but since I’ve been going to Rhys my pain is almost completely gone. It’s fantastic! He’s very professional and very, very good at what he does. Anyone feeling sceptical just give it a try you’ve nothing to lose except pain!” Jennie

“ZB is incredible. As a skeptic I was never going to be easily convinced, however you can’t argue with the results. Rhys is very professional, listens carefully and achieves excellent outcomes with problem areas. One of the outcomes that I wasn’t expecting was the feeling of calm and well-being, it has also improved my balance in the saddle.” Lesley

“My body is moving with more grace and freedom from your treatment and my energy has moved tremendously to release blocked emotions that no longer need to be with me ... How could stretching my bones out give me this holistic healing outcome? Simply because it does.” Tiriana

Clients can expect to be treated with absolute respect and integrity
