Johanna
Clinical Massage, Myofascial Release, Kinesiology and Nutritional Advice.
Are you feeling well? Aches here and there? Definitely needing a hand on your way to health and wellbeing? Wanting to de-stress?
CLINICAL/ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
In addition to many named conditions like sciatic pain or tennis elbow, clinical massage will help you to gain a better functioning body and preventing injuries. It is remedial in its nature and an antidote for musculo-skeletal pain. On the whole the aim is to allow you to be without pain or movement inhibiting muscle/fascia tightness.
It is important for all of us that the body performs to its potential. The balance of muscle groups working with each other is essential for getting good results and stay injury free. For a sports person the aim might be getting faster or stronger, for a parent it might be to be able to pick-up their child without wincing, for person with “golfer's elbow” it might be gaining a strong, pain free grip again.
The Session
In the first session Johanna will ask you about your medical history and lifestyle. The session then has three parts:
1. Assessment
Johanna will assess your range of movement, testing whether you have muscle/tendon strains or ligament sprains, hyper mobile joints or capsular adhesions or other dysfunctions.
2. Treatment
From the assessment Johanna plans the treatment. This will always be different from person to person and even from session to session.
The treatment is painless, although you might feel some mild discomfort. The treatment includes passive and active myofascial release, massage, stretching as well as a variety of other soft tissue release techniques.
3. Remedial Exercises
The remedial exercises are as an important part of the therapy as the hands-on work. At the end of each session you will get 2-4 exercises to do at home. The work done in the session will be lost in 24-72 hours unless you do the exercises.
You will be taught exercises in the session and receive the instructions as an email.
RELAXING/DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
I will still adhere to clinical and scientific principles about how the muscles best relax, but I am not treating any specific pain as I would with clinical massage. I am not asking your participation in releasing techniques.
As the massage is relaxing, it is a perfect antidote for stress. Massage helps the blood and lymph to circulate and it boosts the immune system. When people don’t have any physical complaint, they come purely to achieve a very deep state of relaxation.
KINESIOLOGY
Kinesiology can be used as a therapy tool for physical, mental, emotional, nutritional and spiritual issues.
Lately my work has been concentrating a lot around the gut biome, the bacteria that lives in our guts. The gut biome affects your health and wellbeing in every way. It decides how well you use the nutrition that you take, manufacturers neurotransmitters and plays a part in hormone production. It even can switch genes on and off!
A Kinesiologist might suggest changes to your lifestyle or nutrition or give you some exercises. Kinesiology is a co-operation between the therapist and the client, so there will always be a way of doing something about the situation you come with.
The magic in Kinesiology lies in the way it communicates directly with your body about its needs. The therapist depends on your body's bio-feedback, which they get by manual muscle testing. The balancing involves different techniques for each individual and each session, so two sessions are never alike. Kinesiology is a non-invasive and unique treatment. The treatment is done with you fully clothed either sitting or lying on the treatment couch.
I practise in Amble and here in The Vault in Wallsend
