Presentation
Polarity therapy is a holistic energy medicine system created by Dr. Randolph Stone (1890–1981), an Austrian-born osteopath, chiropractor and naturopath who emigrated to the United States. Stone devoted over 60 years to studying and synthesizing Eastern traditional medicines (Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, yoga) with Western approaches (osteopathy, chiropractic). His system is based on the concept of energy polarity: vital energy flows between two poles (positive and negative) and a neutral center.
