Acknowledgement of the inherent intelligence and self-healing capacity of all living systems is not new. For millennia, Healers and Wisdom Traditions have recognised the language of symptoms as the body communicating disturbance in the natural order. 

Now decoupled from this life-affirming perspective, today’s industrialised paradigm of specialised medicine, is frequently focused on waging war against disease. This approach can easily lose sight of cause and consequence, thus limiting our ability to make true, informed sense of what is. 

At the School for Restorative Medicine our attention is (re)turned to the innate intelligence of the body. By listening into its language, feeling the harmony and disharmony, patterns of distortion and dysfunction can begin to be discerned. This then may help guide us in ways that support the body’s return to balance.
