Cherokee Body Work

Many Native American tribes had their own form of body work. Cherokee Bodywork is a modality as taught to Phoenix by Native American healers Dr Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Dr Robert Crocker. This unique eclectic approach presumes a mind/body connection and includes an understanding of pressure point and knot release, energy lines similar to the meridian system, joint release and subtle body work.

Cherokee bodywork works on the basis that ‘blocks’ can be released by physical manipulation and by attending at the same time to metaphors that arise during the work – a physical pain might be invited to ‘speak’, or imagined to have a physical body itself in order to glean information about a pain. These elements are documented in the SWIMMER papers held in the Smithsonian Institute.

Romiromi Body Work

Romiromi is a traditional Māori healing practice,as taught by Wikitoria Oman that uses pressure points and body alignment to release tension, restore function, and rebalance the body. It can help treat a variety of conditions, including muscle pain, back pain, and migraines. How it works: Romiromi uses pressure-point stimulation and deep-tissue massage to release harmful toxins and blocked energy. It involves applying pressure to trigger points, also known as haemata, using tools like stones or sticks, and spine and joint alignment techniques.
