Discerning Touch Bodywork including Massage therapy, is a gentle means of calming the mind, relaxing the body, and restoring one's natural energy. Through the bodywork process, the stress and other energy blocks are replaced by healthy and invigorating states, both physically and emotionally. Bodywork is widely known and accepted today for its physiological and psychological benefits. Physiological benefits include the alleviation of chronic muscular tension and pain, improved energy and blood circulation, the stimulation of processing metabolic wastes, increased flexibility and range of motion, and reduction of physical fatigue. Psychologically the reduction in stress aids the restoration of emotional and mental balance. Bob Kogok has comprehensive training in various techniques and modalities of bodywork. He uses discernment to ascertain the individual needs of each client, and therefore enters each session in an appropriate and highly effective manner. He relies on his God-given gift of healing and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead him, acknowledging that he is only the vessel for conveying God's restorative power. Bodywork vs. Massage Therapy... Although Bob primarily utilizes his skill and training as a massage therapist, he also utilizes additional techniques that reduce stress and restore energy, therefore, ministering to the "whole person." Bodywork envelopes the "whole person" which makes it a more encompassing process than massage alone. By reducing the stress that affects one physically, one's emotional balance is also restored. Psalm 139 states that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made...," God has given each of us the ability to feel well physically and emotionally. Bodywork enhances this God given ability. Bodywork incorporates many different massage techniques. Some of these utilized in Bob's practice are Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Reflexology, Accupressure, and Therapeutic Touch. It is the use of these, combined with discernment that meets the unique physical and emotional needs of each client. What is a Bodywork Session Like? Bob is sensitive and reassuring. Following the filling out of a confidential intake form, which helps alert Bob to contraindications or medical problems of which he should be aware, and a short interview and get-to-know you time, you will enter the therapy area. You will be left to undress and position yourself under soft, clean sheets on the massage table. With the exception of the area being worked, you will be draped at all times.
