BioSync, developed by Mark Lamm, is based upon the
values, principles, and practices of natural health
as well as deeply held spiritual and metaphysical
world views. The term "BioSync" includes two
essential components: "bio" - meaning life, and
"sync" - meaning synchronicity or harmony ---
embodying the belief that a healthy life possesses
the ultimate balance between mind, body, and soul.
The BioSync method is both a physical and energetic
form of somatic bodywork which has received
international recognition for its remarkable success
with a wide range of muscular and trauma-related
challenges. BioSync combines diverse Eastern and
Western methods of healing to free the body/mind of
limitations and associated dysfunction which present
as pain, limited range of motion, structural
anomalies and soft-tissue injuries.
Who Would Benefit?
What do Meryl Streep, Orlando Bloom, Cher, Lee Iacocca, Sasha Cohen, Margaret Thatcher,
Miro, Willie Nelson, Sting, Travis Rice, John Travolta, John McEnroe and Madonna all have in common? They, like so many others, are involved in some form of bodywork or somatic therapy.
BioSync is for everyone, from those who have experienced
physical injuries and emotional insults to those who
feel the everyday effects of stress, as well as those
who simply wish to experience living life to the fullest.
BioSync is an extraordinary alternative to drugs, surgery,
rehab and living with pain. So, if you are an athlete
experiencing a hamstring pull, a chronic pain patient
suffering from a back injury, a business executive seeking
a higher level of performance, parent/grandparents wanting
to remain playful throughout life, a weekend warrior
suffering with knee trouble, or simply seeking to improve
your physical, mental, and emotional health all of these
challenges respond quickly and dramatically to BioSync.
BioSync Philosophy
The human body is a walking history of a person’s life,
containing “recordings” of events which are experienced
from infancy onward. These recordings include memories
of trauma, resulting from either physical, emotional,
or psychological insult or injury. Sources of these
stressors include:
- Genetic predispositions
- Acute macro-trauma or chronic micro-trauma
- Accumulation of negative thoughts
- Physical effects of aging
In my experience, working with hundreds of people
over the last 40 years, I have found that traumas can
literally freeze time in the body. We all know people
who are still living the Holocaust, Vietnam, the death
of a loved one or most currently the events of September
11th. Please, take a moment and answer these questions:
- Are you caught in a time warp caused by a traumatic
event(s) in your life?
- Are you free to move through time not hindered
by your past?
- What emotional traumas are keeping you from
truly experiencing a joyous life free from past
grief and sorrow?
- What physical traumas are preventing you from
leading an active life free from injury and pain?
As we experience insults and injuries, we begin to
store and stack emotional and physical traumas. We are
not our traumas yet most people live their entire lives
through insult and injury - through the filter of emotional
and physical traumas.
Unfortunately, the trauma of insults and injuries whether
physical, mental, or emotional if left alone create
a continuing loop of dysfunction. These trauma patterns,
when left untreated, can show up as adverse health manifestations
that can be as mild as a pinched nerve, sore neck, trick
knee, anxiousness and nervousness or as extreme as a
major illness and until these patterns are released
they can continue to dominate and rule our lives.
BioSync is a proactive and preventative way to address
these challenges resulting in restorative and lasting
wellness. BioSync provides the technology to transform
and restore the body to its true potential.
BioSync Touch & Movement Principles
The BioSync Method is an elegant three-step process
that releases soft tissue at the deepest level,
permanently erasing trauma and dysfunction. At the
purely physical level, BioSync focuses on trauma
memory recorded and stored in the body. There are
three general principles to the physical
interventions of BioSync:
- Penetration of soft tissue
- Lengthening of tissue through manual traction
- Unwinding of cross-liked connective tissue
Penetration is accomplished through direct physical
contact, lengthening is done through manual
traction, and unwinding via the consultant’s
movement in a spiral fashion is unique to BioSync
and is what differentiates it from other forms of
bodywork such as deep-tissue sculpting, passive
joint movement or assisted stretching with
compressions.
In actuality, these three touch and movement
principles are part of a whole approach, or a
greater gestalt. The intuitive and energetic aspects
of BioSync, however, are absolutely critical to its
practice.
Through touch and movement the BioSync consultant
connects energetically with the client where there
are dysfunctions as well as an ideal vision of the
client’s structure and function.
This is why BioSync is so unusual. It is a highly
technical, structural work which requires a thorough
knowledge of anatomy. However, the effectiveness of
this work is greatly dependent on the strength of
the consultant’s intuition, and on the energetic
connection between client and consultant.
