SPACEMAKING

Spacemaking. What is it? If you’re in pain whether physical, mental or emotional, what’s happening fundamentally? There’s pressure, tension, a sense of overwhelm and limitation. It feels like the world is closing in, the muscles are tight, the thoughts are weighty and oppressing. There’s no space. 

Making space is the antidote to pain.  

Physical pain

> Let there be space in your musculoskeletal system through strengthening, realigning and relieving. For this we use physical therapy, posture and movement changes and clinical somatics alignment exercises. 

Non-physical pain

> Let there be space between what happens and how you respond, between your feelings and your actions, between your thoughts and who you are. For this we use embodied talking (learn how your language creates your reality), breathwork, inner work practices. 

The truth is. Pain tends to be messy. it’s usually a mix of the physical and mental. My aim in working with you will be to work specifically with your pain to create a programme that is transformative - whether it’s 1 session or 21. 

TECHNIQUES

Depending on your type of pain we will use one or a combination of these techniques to relieve your pain and get you feeling good again.

1. Body Stress Release (BSR)

BSR is a gentle bodywork technique like nothing you’ve experienced before. It helps your body reengage its natural healing ability, by using a precise pattern of ‘releases’ for lasting relief from pain.

You’ll feel like you’ve had a massage but the shift in your body goes much deeper. For stress related pain, hands-on treatment includes diaphragmatic breathing lessons and somatic releasing.

2. Embodied coaching

Using Gestalt-based techniques, visualisation, reflection and mindfulness, you’ll have the option to explore beyond your physical symptoms.

Your body holds your history and it can be mind-blowing and nervous system-resetting, when you give your story a voice! It especially powerful if you have ongoing or unexplained pain or tension.

3. Posture & movement

With the groundbreaking Clinical Somatics exercises you’ll learn to use mindful ‘pandiculation’ (tensing and then releasing movements) to reorganise the way your body moves and to re-sensitise your brain’s proprioception.

Also, you’ll get to understand how your daily posture habits are impacting you and learn new, optimal ones. Lastly and most importantly - get breathing in a way that resources you whatever is happening or has happened in your life.

REVIEWS FROM SPACEMAKERS

  • I was referred to a consultant neurosurgeon who prescribed strong painkillers and, post an MRI, a steroid injection.I went to see Laine and the pain has gone, no painkillers since and no steroid injection.

    R N

  • I have found BSR so beneficial I am pretty much recommending Laine to anyone I know to try this out. My IT band was so tight I couldn’t put my own sock on but within 3 sessions it had totally released.

    B K

  • The treatments are relaxing and enjoyable. Laine is a knowledgeable practitioner with a deep understanding of the body. I feel so lucky and grateful to have met Laine. She transformed my life when all else had failed.
