The body knows. You just need to learn to listen
I help relieve pain, tension and stiffness: assessment first, then work with the root cause, not the symptom. Many people notice a difference after just 1–2 sessions.

What brings people here
-
Back, neck or lower-back pain
Often after long hours at a laptop. We look for the muscles that aren't switching on and are dragging the rest along.
-
Tension that won't go away
Fatigue that stays even after sleep; it's hard to switch your head off.
-
Wanting to understand your body
No specific pain — just figuring out what's going on and what you can do about it yourself.

What clients are saying
Real messages — unedited
Tracked my sensations for a few days: 1) left ankle stopped hurting, legs get less tired walking. 2) glutes activated — I actually feel them while walking. 3) lower back started to release. Honestly didn't expect this.
— after the first session
Not easy to switch off someone who's 24/7 with a laptop and two phones. Floated off, drifted away and soared. Fell asleep so sweetly. I'm in love, wonder and inner happiness. Doesn't get better than this. 🖤🖤
12 years of struggling with skin on my back and face. Everything unexpectedly cleared up after the exercises and sessions. Thank you so much. Now I need to maintain the results long-term.
Surprising that the problem was linked to non-functioning neck and deltoid muscles.
1) Shoulders straightened and they don't even round forward anymore. Visually I look broader.
2) Legs don't get tired from walking at all. Could walk 30 kilometres.
3) Lower back feels very light. No pain at all.
Never had posture like this before. Continuing the home exercises — tracking the progress.
Was at my first dance class today. The coach complimented my posture and said he hadn't seen shoulders without asymmetry in a long time! Says my kinesiologist is amazing!
And I agree with him 100%!!! Thank you 🙏
Today many people noticed how relaxed I was — said they hadn't seen me like this in a long time. It really is fascinating to feel such lightness and serenity in the body and partly in the mind. ❤️
Been driving a lot this past week — constantly keeping an eye on keeping my head in the right position, and it's just wow. Thank you so much for helping us!
Hard to put into words the state you leave the body practice in. I usually live at high speed — and this act of caring for my own body was exactly what I needed.
In terms of effect I'd compare this practice to an existential experience — I recommend it to all my friends.

Ivan Maugli
Massage therapist · kinesiologist · body practitioner
From the age of 19 I lived with a bad back — I know first-hand what it means to search for answers for years. The pieces fell into place when anatomy and muscle testing joined the hands-on work.
Now I share this experience with others — with the same energy as at the start.
