Claire Swart

My main area of expertise is the prevention of recurring injuries and relief of musculoskeletal pain and tension within in the body.  I completed my BSc (hons) degree in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics and Psychology cum laude. From there I completed a range of exercise related and bodywork courses.

As a Lyno practitioner I now use mainly fascia release techniques to address the cause of the injury.  Depending on the clients needs I also do sports massage, muscle activation, cross pattern conditioning and neural activation.

Of great importance to me is education of the client regarding what is causing the problem and how they can best manage it in-between sessions. Every individual is unique and thus requires a slightly different approach.

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 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.

Claire is a lovely lady with so much knowledge on helping your body release. She has years of experience so knows exactly what to do to improve your quality of life. You feel wonderful when you leave so much lighter and you can actually feel your body working better. Both my husband and I attended Claire’s practice. I found it had more impact on my body than physio.

I was devastated when Claire moved to Australia, because the season I saw her regularly was the most consistent in training I had ever been. I was fit, strong and did a PB in that years Ironman - a large part of that success was because Claire helped keep me on the road week in and week out.
