Q: Is Radix a medical treatment?

A: Radix work is not a medical treatment and is not a substitute for medical care. When you have a medical problem you should talk to your doctor about doing body-centered personal growth work before beginning. That said, some medical problems have an emotional or psychological component that can respond to personal growth work like Radix.

Q: How does Radix work relate to massage?

A
: With many clients, Radix practitioners may use some sort of touch for such purposes as bringing awareness to parts of the body, relaxing muscles, encouraging breath into a specific area etc. They may or may not have formal training in massage but will have developed a sensitivity to the energetic movements in the body.

Q: I'm out of touch with my feelings. What can Radix do for me?

A:
For some persons, the direction of their work is to rediscover their capacity to express and integrate those feelings. Typically these persons feel deadened, unalive, as if they are missing out on life's richness. For these persons, the direction of Radix work is towards centering the persons in their inner experience, loosening chronic muscular tensions so as to allow for the experience and discharge of long-held feelings, and developing more flexible interpersonal boundaries. As these persons release held feelings of anger, fear, pain, and longing, they awaken to their capacity for love, trust, pleasure, and fulfillment.
