The Lyno Method
The Lyno Academy
I am currently halfway through my Lyno Course, and it has completely changed the way I understand the human body and chronic injuries. Lyno goes beyond treating symptoms — it helps you find the root cause of pain and brings the body back to the basics of moving freely and naturally. Chronic pain patients used to be a challenge for me, but now I’m excited and...

Physiotherapist, current online Lyno course student, South Africa
Before Lyno, I worked with many clients struggling with recurring chronic injuries that exercise-based rehabilitation alone failed to resolve. After applying the Lyno assessment and techniques, I first identified underlying misalignments, then strengthened clients to hold their alignment properly, which completely changed their outcomes. It shifted how I think about rehabilitation entirely and became the missing piece in my practice.

My Pilates classes have evolved significantly since I completed my Lyno Course, and they continue to do so. I have even considered changing the class name from Pilates classes to something that better reflects how we not only strengthen with Pilates exercises but also first address mobility and gently unlock fascial lines with warm-up movements. I also include movements shown to reduce cortisol levels. Although breathwork has always been foundational ...

Pilates Instructor, Lyno Practitioner
Lyno has added incredible value to my Pilates practice by helping me support clients in a far more holistic way. Rather than focusing solely on the acute or chronic injury, it enables me to consider the whole person — including movement patterns, lifestyle, stress, and the nervous system. This approach helps uncover possible underlying causes rather than treating symptoms alone. My clients have...

Celeste Venter
pilates Instructor, Lyno Practitioner
As a LYNO practitioner, I see many clients who suffer from chronic pain, recurring injuries, sports-related trauma, physical trauma, emotional trauma, or immune-related conditions. Most arrive feeling overwhelmed and discouraged after trying many therapies without lasting results. What makes the LYNO Method so powerful is that it allows me to approach the body as a whole rather than treating pain in isolated...

Biokineticist, Lyno Practitioner, Lyno Course Presenter
The Lyno Method has helped me support clients recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome by providing a neuro-fascial framework for understanding how the body compensates after neurological trauma. Rather than focusing solely on weakness or pain, Lyno enables me to assess protective guarding, fascial restriction, altered movement patterns, and the nervous system’s need to feel safe again. Through breath, movement, and integration, it...

Emerging perspectives are beginning to bridge the gap between Stephen Porges’ framework and Paul Grossman’s critiques — particularly in practical, body-based approaches such as fascia work and somatic therapies. Across research and clinical practice, there is growing recognition that Polyvagal Theory offers a useful language and framework, while Grossman’s work highlights important limitations in...

Massage Therapist and Lyno Practitioner
One of my clients is a physiotherapist who struggled with plantar fasciitis for years. As a biokineticist, I tried conventional rehab with her using all the knowledge I had at that stage, but to no avail. Eventually, she was scheduled for surgery for fascial release underneath the foot. At that stage, I had just started the Lyno course and asked her if I...

Lyno Practitioner
I have been a physiotherapist for 20 years and am currently completing the Lyno online course presented by Benita Kropman-Bester. After finishing Module Two, I can honestly say it has been one of the most eye-opening learning experiences of my career. What impressed me most was how the Lyno Method identifies dysfunctional movement patterns and fascial restrictions that many of us...
