Testimonial

"I have worked with Martin over past 6 years on many occasions and have had sessions for various issues with back, shoulders, neck, pelvis and hip pain and tension, and have had great results from the sessions. Martin has immense knowledge of the body and uses variety of modalities and techniques in the sessions, which are always tailored for me, and what I need in that moment. As a dancer, dance and yoga teacher I use my body a lot, and until I met Martin, I have not found a therapist who has such an in-depth understanding of the body and it’s mechanics, who can test, investigate and find out what is happening and what is needed. On number of occasions during the session, I felt that trauma was coming to the surface and was ready to be released - Martin would follow the flow of the energy and switch to trauma work, helping me release the trauma, energy and emotions that were stuck in my body. I found his flexibility and ability to switch to what is needed in the moment and to hold safe space for the release immensely helpful. Few years ago, I was suffering with terrible pain in the pelvic floor region for many months which was very bad when sitting, especially riding a bike and doing sitted Yoga poses. I was about to see a general practitioner about it, but just before I did, I had a session with Martin about my back, and asked him if he knew what could be causing the pain. After a consultation and examination, Martin told me it is pudendal nerve entrapment. With one treatment, which Martin developed himself, the excruciating pain was gone in two days and has not come back since !!! It felt like a miracle. After the session, I researched the condition and found out that Western medicine treatments (strong pain killers, anti-depressants, anticonvulsants, steroid injections and surgery) very often do not resolve the issue. Martin with one treatment saved me from years of pain, stress and suffering. Where most doctors are limited in their knowledge and interest in finding holistic solutions that work with the body and its mechanisms, Martin enjoys the challenge of finding a solution. As a trained dancer, my body compensates a lot when there is an injury and tension, and constantly develops patterns that are unusual and illogical, where some muscles are inactive whilst other are over-active, which creates tension and pain. Martin enjoys figuring out the patterns my body creates, and changing them using variety of technics and modalities. I am immensely grateful to Martin, and feel extremely lucky to have found him. He is a unique therapist, who not only applies techniques he has trained in but invents his own. Martin is a unique and incredible resource for women’s health and well-being."
