What actually happens in Deep Recovery?

A 60-minute session could flow like this:

1. 1

   Arrival & Check-in

   5 mins

   Ask how their body feels today, where they’re carrying tension, their energy level, and what they need from the session.

2. 2

   Grounding & Breath

   5 mins

   Comfortable lying or seated position. Slow, natural breathing and simple body awareness to transition away from the outside world.

3. 3

   Gentle Assisted Movement

   20 mins

   Slow assisted mobility and comfortable stretches. Think gentle hip opening, spinal mobility, shoulders, neck, legs and areas that feel restricted. No pushing for maximum range.

4. 4

   Restorative Release

   15 mins

   This becomes the signature difference. Use supported positions with bolsters/pillows while the specialist guides very gentle movements, holds or relaxation. The client doesn’t need to “do” much.

5. 5

   Deep Rest

   10 mins

   The movement stops. You could introduce gentle breath awareness and a short sound element, such as singing bowls or other soft instruments, if appropriate.

6. 6

   Closing & Reorientation

   5 mins

   Slowly bring the client back to seated, check how they feel and offer water/tea and a quiet moment before leaving.
