Claire Swart

Claire began her career in 2007 as a personal trainer after graduating cum laude with a BSc (Hons) in Human Kinetics, Ergonomics, and Psychology. She went on to work as Assistant Manager and Corporate Health, Fitness, and Wellbeing Specialist at The Telegraph Media Group in London. Since then, she has completed a variety of exercise science and bodywork courses, allowing her to apply a holistic approach to health, wellness, and performance.

As a certified Lyno®️ practitioner, Claire employs gentle fascia release techniques to address the underlying causes of restriction, tension, and compensatory patterns. Lyno specifically targets the parasympathetic nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve, to break the cycle of chronic pain and prevent further injury.

Through enhancing nervous system regulation and promoting vagal tone, Claire supports clients in restoring functional balance, improved mobility, and overall well-being. Her expertise benefits individuals managing chronic pain, stress, or trauma, as well as athletes aiming to optimise performance, expedite recovery, and reduce injury risk. Claire tailors her approach to align with the client’s unique circumstances and goals.

Central to Claire’s practice is education and cultivating body awareness. She empowers clients with a deeper understanding of their movement patterns and physiological responses, equipping them to support their own progress between sessions and achieve sustainable results.

Having walk a long path with Claire from being practically bed ridden to working full time again in a physically demanding job today, is nothing short of a miracle. Her understanding of the nervous system and how it affects your physical mobility is remarkable. From tailored exercises to therapy methodologies, it all has been highly effective. Many thanks Claire

I was recommended to find a Lyno practitioner to help with relief of headaches. Claire is phenomenal in her knowledge of the body-mind connection and treatment of the vagus nerve regulation. I have not found lasting relief of symptoms from any other treatment before. She has also been of great assistance with recovery after rotary cuff surgery, with mobility results that left the surgeon speechless. I would highly recommend you visit Claire for any persistent ...

I’d recommend Claire highly. I’ve used her Lyno services for general body maintenance to supplement my running training. Always found her to be extremely professional and knowledgeable in her treatments.

I travelled interstate to see Claire for 4 Lyno sessions over 6 days. I had read about The Lyno Method online and was desperate to address the cause of my pain and misalignment in my body that had been ailing me for over 10years. I had tried many different techniques which provided symptomatic relief but I felt did not address the underlying issues. These included Chiro, Osteo, Physio, Neck Botox, Rolfing, Structural Integration, Bowen, Acupuncture, DNS and all kinds of massage. I was impressed by Claire's holistic knowledge of the body and her expertise in the Lyno method. After only a couple of sessions I already felt much better, with most of my pain and misalignment that had been ailing me for 10+ years clearing up. My Bunkie scores (measuring my core functionality) were 0 or had major discrepancies between the Left and Right. Within 5 days they were almost all at 30 or very close to it. I couldn’t believe how these scores had come up without doing any traditional strengthening work. In addition to this I had very reduced range of motion in most areas of my body. By day 5 most of these had full range of motion or close to it without doing any traditional stretches. It was amazing to note how much my upper body range of motion improved through specific spiral lines in my legs being released. This gave me huge relief in my upper body and my neck (which has been a big source of pain for me for many years). When I walk I can notice how different muscle groups, that I’ve been trying to strengthen for years, can now fire properly. It’s like my neural system is working differently and it’s easier for the ‘right’ muscles to fire. I did foam rolling and myofascial release work on myself everyday before seeing Claire to try keep my pain at bay. Those trigger points have now dissipated with no foam rolling at all. Claire explained that a lot of those areas were actually too long which is the opposite of what I had thought. Well worth the trip - I would highly recommend Claire to anybody seeking a holistic approach to injury rehabilitation and pain management, and I am looking forward to working with her remotely over the coming months to see even more improvements.

I can highly recommend Claire as a Lyno Practitioner - she saw me through two painful foot operations, helping me keep my body aligned through the process. She is very approachable, knowledgeable and explains her process every step of the way.

I can highly recommend Claire as a Lyno practitioner. I found her to be very professional, thorough, friendly and approachable. She managed to help me with a chronic neck/ upper back niggle after I had mixed results with physiotherapists and chiropractors.

I miss Claire in South Africa. She knows the human body so well and was a safe place to go to get relief with a sore muscle here or there. She really helped "unbunch" me with the practical aspects of Lyno (which I didn't know about before). It makes total sense to work with the "fascia"! While I love a massage for relaxation, Lyno was incredible at sorting out an issue. Australia is lucky to ...

She is professional, friendly and takes great care and pride in her work. I had not heard about the Lyno method before this but I can say the approach of getting to the root cause has been more beneficial for me than anything else.
