Pain and recurring muscular tension

Perceiving the body in a differentiated way and working with symptoms without reducing the body to them.

Pain and muscular tension can affect mobility, sleep, mood and trust in your own body. The connections may remain complex despite careful assessment.

Perceiving more than the painful area

In my work, I do not view symptoms in isolation. Posture, breathing, movement patterns, tissue tension, strain and personal experience can be interconnected. Not every tension is a fault that needs to be removed. It is often useful to begin by noticing how the body organises itself and what it responds to.

Possible approaches

Depending on your concern, manual bodywork, Lomi Lomi, craniosacral work, scar work, movement, breathing and conversation may be included. We agree on the intensity and approach together. A treatment may be powerful, but it does not need to be painful in order to be meaningful.

When medical assessment is important

New, unexplained or clearly increasing pain should be medically assessed. This is particularly important in the case of injuries, signs of inflammation, paralysis or other symptoms that appear suddenly.

During our first contact, we can discuss what is already known, what you would like and what kind of setting might be suitable for an initial appointment.

Medical context

Symptoms whose cause is unclear or that could indicate a serious condition should be medically assessed. My work does not replace necessary medical treatment. I am not aware of scientific recognition of the effectiveness of the methods and approaches I use.
