Body-Mind Upgrade

These before and after treatment photos, highlight the postural and physical changes after a 2 hour and 45 minute session.

Margaret client grew in height, had her neck and head repositioned, releasing years of muscular tension, stress and depression. She experienced an immediate growth in confidence and happiness, after the session,

Margaret shared that it was “depressing” having held a stuck head forward posture for most of her life, affecting the curvature of her spine. She “wanted to look straight” but felt defeated with not knowing how to change her posture..

After the session, Margaret shared that she'd never had her neck in this position before and said she was being in a “Happier place to be” with her neck in its natural position.

In my post last week I mentioned that I’d developed a method of energetic therapeutic treatments (‘postural energetics’) that releases muscular tension patterns, pain & realigns posture.

It’s a fusion of Western & Eastern healing methods that spans Myofascial Release, Tai Chi/Qigong principles, Energy Medicine, & is a 3 dimensional approach to deep bodywork.

Manny has received 20 treatments from me, in just over a year now.

Initially, Manny came to see me for long standing knee pain from an old rugby injury.

During the treatments for his knee...I also worked on muscular tension patterns that were connected to his knee pain, which included his hips & upper back.

Once his knee pain was cleared he opted to continue treatments with our focus turning to correcting his postural patterns of misalignment.

A big part of Manny’s treatment plan in receiving a postural overhaul was to teach

This method is my life’s work, created with a deep passion for healing that helps people transform lives through their posture and sense of embodiment.

It has been deeply enriching to witness Manny’s deep transformation!

MANNY'S TESTIMONIAL:

"I initially started seeing Luis with a view to obtaining some pain relief for ongoing knee pain I had experienced since my early teens when I obtained a number of quite drastic rugby-related knee injuries. Seeing Luis has certainly helped with the knee pain - which is pretty much non-existent now - however as a result of benefiting from Luis' holistic and powerful method I have experienced so much more in the long term. My legs and hips are aligned properly which has significantly eased the pressure on my lower back. Not only am I standing up much straighter and taller now, but I am not holding up my body by 'tensing' my shoulders. Working with Luis has completely helped re-align my posture, take away pain and most importantly, had a massive impact on my confidence, strength, clarity and energy levels. The changes have lasted and there's no going back now. I'd recommend Luis to anyone and everyone."

As a child & teenager I experienced years of physical abuse resulting in a multitude of injuries and being in and out of hospital.

My emotional & mental landscape was a mess. I had very poor self-esteem.

This was obvious & reflected in my body with poor posture.

The poor posture resulted in years of chronic pain, fatigue & a hopeless outlook on my life.

I only really became aware of how bad my posture was when I began studying remedial massage 20 years ago.

Through my training, I delved into the world of functional anatomy, learning about muscular tension patterns and the potential for better posture.

It has taken me years to correct my posture and within this journey of self-discovery I developed a deep respect for the delicate and difficult process of self-healing that most people are faced with at various times in their lives.

Our posture is reflection of all our life story - our repetitive movements, our postural habits, conditioning, our emotional and physical traumas, breathing patterns and mental attitudes.

To truly create change within our postural landscape, change needs to first come from deeper within our emotional bodies and mental attitudes.

Once I began healing past traumas, my physical body became much more responsive to postural alignment, correction & change.

Today I walk tall, with greater confidence and ease. I move within a posture that I feel is stable, mobile- free from chronic tension & pain.

From my personal experience, education, skill-set and a deep understanding of the broad spectrum of human emotions, I’ve created a method of energetic therapeutic bodywork ('Postural Energetics’)
that offers the potential for life & postural transformation through greater alignment.

I’m so happy to be sharing this with you all…

Soon to come is my workshop series & a series of how-to video’s…stay tuned!

The majority of people associate deep muscle and deep tissue release with a lot of pain & discomfort (...think the kind of pain that one has when enduring a strong Thai massage..)

However, with my 20 years of experience I have been able to develop a deep muscle release ( & fascia unwinding) approach through a unique style of body work that I have called 'Integrated & Energetic Posture Realigning'.

This technique is non-invasive and is not painful to go through.

It offers profound changes beyond the traditional deep tissue techniques available.

I'm very excited to begin sharing the results of this unique style of body work with you all!

A client of mine Margaret had had a significant shift after only 2 treatments with me - this can be seen in the pictures below.

Have a look in the 'before' picture how her whole body was titled forward. In the after picture you can see that she has come more into alignment.

TESTIMONIAL:

"Balance when standing or walking has always been a major issue for me. My body has never felt very comfortable - many aches and pains.
Now the upright posture makes me feel more grounded, stable, comfortable in my body and of course younger"

"I’ve never been this upright and straight. It’s amazing So great. Well done Luis it’s magic. No pain but lots of magnificent gain" - Margaret Hovell

After almost 20 years of experience with literally 1000’s of different people's bodies, their postures, varied physical tightness patterns and what creates knots and tension....

I have been able to develop incredibly effective methods of unwinding the complex structures (fascia) responsible for the muscle pulls, ni**les, pinches, tightness & tension that can be so painful it can affect your breathing and state of mind.

I am pleased to introduce the ‘Get me out of trouble’ body work session

This session is specifically designed for when you have moved awkwardly, pulled a muscle, slept weirdly, funked up your neck somehow or are cramping up.

A HELPFUL TIP TO REDUCE LOWER BACK PAIN

Considering your Inner thigh and adductor muscle tone.

How weak are your inner thigh (adductors) muscles? These muscles are often missed in exercising. Strengthening these muscles will help create balance to the legs and hips, providing greater stability for your lower back. This is also an effective long term solution for ITB and hip pain. If your forever needing to use a foam roller to ease ITB pain, then strengthening the inner thigh muscles will reduce the need to and help ease tension on the outside leg.

A HELPFUL TIP TO RELIEVE LOWER BACK PAIN

Are you experiencing lower back pain or have you at some point in your life?
If you’ve answered yes, you are one of the estimated 70-90% of Australians that will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. In other words lower back pain is a common condition and your not alone.
It can range from a slight ni**le to constant and even severe pain, resulting in immobility and bad posture. Usually lower back pain isn’t experienced in isolation, it can affect other parts of the body and your mental and emotional wellbeing too.
For many, it is still a grand mystery to know exactly what steps to take, which practitioners to see and how to exercise effectively to release and even prevent lower back pain. There are many reasons as to why people experience lower back pain and many solutions. The following tip has improved the quality of my life and significantly reduced any lower back pain and tension.

Tip # 1. Learning to unlock the knees.

Do you lock your knees when you stand and walk? Did you know that locking your knees, locks the lower spine and makes it difficult to engage the core muscles, necessary for lower back support. Unlocking the knees has an immediate relieving effect on the lower spine and back muscles, and supports a long term preventative approach. Even if you work your abdominal muscles regularly, locking the knees will still negatively affect core muscle function.

Try this simple exercise to help highlight the difference between locking and unlocking the knees.

Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2: position knees directly underneath your hip sockets.
Step 3: Place the palm of one hand on the lower spine and strongly lock your knees back and feel how the spine locks.
Step 4: Keeping the same hand contact on the spine, slowly unlock the knees to a point that the lower spine relaxes.
