Osho Rebalancing with Daniel du Plooy

Osho Rebalancing utilizes a combination of deep tissue massage, joint tension release and energy balancing, combined with Osho Active Meditations, to counteract chronic holding patterns that contribute to pain and illness. Osho Rebalancing views the human body as much more than its physical component, recognizing that the emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects are of as much importance to our totality.

OSHO Rebalancing is a form of body oriented awareness work,
which brings people back into harmony with themselves,
so they can live their essential unity of body, mind and heart.

It works with a unique synthesis of body reading, connective tissue manipulation, joint release, energy and breath work, body awareness training as well as emotions and their expression.
As the body releases muscular rigidities and relaxes, energy is set free.
At the same time old and unconscious emotional and mental attitudes and patterns which imprison us can come into our awareness.
This helps us to a better understanding of ourselves and of our hidden potentials.
Hereby we come closer to our innermost core, which enables us to live life more
spontaneously and meaningfully.

I am working and currently studying for my post-grad at the same time. Because of my hectic schedule, I am usually riddled with stress and I barely find time to release that stress. I get so stressed to the point that my body starts to suffer physically and mentally. When my friend introduced me to Daniel Du Plooy’s rebalancing technique I was skeptical to say the least. I thought it would be like any usual massage one would experience at a Spa that is usually just a temporary solution to aches and pains due to stress. I was frequently experiencing a lot of stress and tension especially on my shoulders, my mid and lower back and my neck area. I had also undergone scoliosis surgery so that also added on to the pressure I felt on my back. Daniel was very professional with the way he carried out his techniques. He knew exactly the amount of pressure to exert in all the correct. After every area he worked, I felt immediate relaxation and I felt as if my blood circulation began to flow correctly. Coupled with the soothing oils that he used and the whimsical music he plays in the background I felt as if I could easily dose off to sleep. I’m usually an insomniac but that night after my session I found myself sleeping way before my bedtime. The next day I felt relaxed, rejuvenated and full of energy. I did not experience the midday slump that I regularly experience around lunchtime and I kept up my water intake. It is unbelievable what rebalancing can do for the mind, body and soul.

The Upper back massage I had with Daniel was different to anything I have ever experienced before. It feels like the muscles are slowly and deeply being massaged and stretched. This is then followed by a variety of movements to the effected areas and the whole process is repeated. It leaves you feeling relaxed and loose. I found myself almost falling asleep at times and then wondering what was coming next.

I highly recommend Daniel if you want to try something new.

Initially I went to Daniel in the hope of getting relief from my stiff neck and shoulder blades – something I have always suffered from and which are part of being a teacher. Three sessions later, the knots in my shoulder blades had gone and Daniel had balanced out my shoulder blades. My stiff neck was also no longer a problem. The tightness in the shoulders has been gone for a year now – even at the dreaded exam-marking-time I have no problems. The muscles are looser and my posture has improved. When my neck gives me problems – or I have a series of migraines – I know that a good session with Daniel will bring comfort. I also suffer terribly from lower back pain. Once again, within three sessions, Daniel had eased not only the pain in my lower back but also in my hips (and I am certain that he, inadvertently, put my hip back in). Sleeping at night is now much easier and I can pick up my grandchildren with ease. I now go to Daniel at least once a month to keep the muscles loose and eased – and the night’s sleep after a session is always the best!

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Spikkels for the continued deep tissue massage he has applied to my whole body especially my “frozen arms”.  With my positive attitude I survived a heart attack in July 2016 whilst with Dr Deepak Chopra in California USA and on my return to South Africa, underwent triple bypass surgery.  Rehab initially was slow and after 6 months, both my arms had become frozen. My physiotherapist Sarah Ferguson  suggested I consider deep tissue manipulation as part of my total healing process. I was introduced to Spikkels who specializes in OSHO REBALANCING – A unique blend of East West Tissue Massage techniques. I found much relief with the combination of Physiotherapist by Sarah Ferguson and Rebalancing by Spikkels. Throughout my sessions, I found Spikkels to be very professional, holistic  in his approach and deeply knowledgeable in Rebalancing Deep Tissue Massage. At the outset of each session, he ensures I am in Harmony with myself and the environment by ‘breathing ‘ positive vibrations in the session room through soothing music.  Thereafter, like a “wizard with magic fingers”, he begins the session. Deep, slow and skilful strokes, with ease and comfort, he releases the tension in each limb. As the massage proceeds with great care, I find my joints relaxes, tensions ease and mind body energized. It’s a true feeling of liberation.  Once again I would like to express my deep gratitude to Spikkels for administering this unique OSHO Rebalancing Deep Tissue Massage Technique on me.  It has helped me tremendously.

As a power lifter, my muscles are constantly tight and sore. About two years ago, I competed in the National Power lifting Competition that was held in Pretoria where I suffered an injury in my lower back and consequently developed sciatic nerve pain. I had lived with the pain for 18 months and seeing that Im only 24 and couldnt bend over without being overcome by pain – I realised that I had to do something. However, I have always been reluctant to go for any type of massage but that was before I met Daniel and he explained to me what Rebalancing was all about.
I had several treatments and each time I left, I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders….literally. I felt lighter, agile and most importantly I felt pain free.
Daniel carries himself in a professional manner. He always makes sure that you, as the client, is comfortable and enjoying your massage. He is knowledgeable and informative in that, during your massage, he explains what he is doing and why. Daniels main concern is his clients and if they are healing. He often checks up on me as we are colleagues and always offers a helping hand in order for me to manage my pain.
For these reasons I strongly recommend him – whether you have an injury or would just like to relax both physically and mentally.

[Ashleigh Piper, Teacher, Power lifter]

After being a keen surfer, I found myself experiencing various aches and pains in my muscles and joints in my early forties. I also had pain and limited range of motion in my shoulder due to an old rotator-cuff injury. I exercised less, gained weight and sometimes found it difficult to fall asleep due to discomfort. I had no energy. Then I went for my first session of Deep Tissue massage with Spikkles and noticed a difference that afternoon – I felt more energetic – and that night there was no discomfort in my shoulder. The pains and lethargy started to return during the next two weeks. I went for further sessions of Deep Tissue massage and over the next six months I felt so much better. I did go for a medical check-up as well and found out that some of my aches and pains were due to hormonal imbalance. A regular massage session seemed a healthier and more pleasant option than going on HRT, and for the last two years I have had Deep Tissue massage about twice a month. I can’t remember when last my rotator-cuff gave me any trouble and I feel much more relaxed and energetic – more like my old self.

Daniel du Plooy does an amazing massage called the Osho Rebalancing technique. I am not a fan of massage – especially firm massages because they are just too painful for me – but Spikkles is awesome! After a treatment with him, you will walk away on cloud 9, feeling relaxed and loose. Our bodies tend to stiffen up as we get older and place more stress on it. I’m a yoga instructor and practice the postures every single day, but I still have tension! The rebalancing technique incorporates some Heller Work, Tragering Physiotherapy and massage. Rebalancing views the human body as much more than a physical component; recognising that the emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects are of as much importance to our totality. This combination has proven to be very effective. In the hour and a half during the treatment, Spikkles made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed. Even using his elbows did not cause pain because the slow, intentional movements are designed to relieve the tension as much as possible. I had no expectation at all when I arrived at the session, but I walked away amazed. Daniel and really friendly, and truly pays attention to how the body responds to the treatment, and continuously adjusts to make sure you are comfortable so that you do not experience any pain. This treatment was worth the drive! I recommend that you contact Daniel today and make an appointment. Experience this Rebalancing massage, and I can guarantee that you will walk away feeling great!
