What is it?
Anthroposophic Nursing extends beyond conventional nursing and includes Compresses and Rhythmic Body Oiling - a gentle and nurturing treatment where the patient is ‘held’ in a cocoon of warmth and rhythm. An oil is carefully chosen for the individual's needs then applied using a light touch followed by circular loosening movements.
This therapy is suitable for all ages and stages of life including children, adults and the elderly.
