My curiosity about the body’s movement inspired me to become a Lyno practitioner in 2018. The Lyno method made intuitive sense to me, offering a refreshing perspective compared to all the traditional approaches available for treating recurring injuries.

During my time as a Lyno sports practitioner in Johannesburg, I witnessed firsthand how the Lyno method significantly enhanced athletes’ performance. It effectively addressed recurring injury patterns and optimized full-body functional strength. Incorporating Lyno maintenance sessions into athletes’ recovery protocols resulted in prolonged injury-free training periods. 

In 2022, I relocated to Utrecht in the Netherlands, where I am excited to launch the first Lyno practice in the country. My journey with Lyno continues, and I look forward to sharing its benefits with athletes and individuals here.

Lyno changed my life! I had been suffering for several years with sever hip pain on the one side. I felt like a 60 year old in a 40 year old’s body. I had tried many other therapies but with no improvement. I discovered Lyno quite by accident – there was a practitioner using the premises where my daughter did CrossFit.

Lyno changed my life!  I had been suffering for several years with sever hip pain on the one side.  I felt like a 60 year old in a 40 year old’s body.  I had tried many other therapies but with no improvement.  I discovered Lyno quite by accident – there was a practitioner using the premises where my daughter did CrossFit.  Out of desperation I decided to give it a try.  Lyno not only massively improved my hip symptoms but also made my tennis elbow disappear.  This was the case because Lyno does not only focus on the area of your pain/injury but treats the body holistically and other areas automatically benefit from this.  From then on, I have been the biggest supporter of Lyno and frequently refer people who I hear are struggling with symptoms that just don’t go away despite doing all the usual therapies. My regular Lyno practitioner immigrated and referred me to Heidi, who was also in my area.  I am so grateful for having the opportunity to work with Heidi.  She is an incredibly gentle and caring person who takes a genuine interest in her clients.  I am quiet an active person and without Heidi, I would not have been able to keep up with my tennis and weight training.  Whenever I had an injury or niggle, I would have a few Lyno sessions and be good to go.  I soon realized that with my activity level I would benefit from regular maintenance sessions. Heidi also has the remarkable ability to adapt to her individual clients’ needs.  I took my daughter to see her who was experiencing migraines.  My daughter is quiet an anxious person and struggles to be touched in certain ways by other people.  Heidi was able to make her feel safe and constantly checked in with her to find out if she was managing with the contact.  She initially could only touch my daughter with the lightest touch, but over time that improved.  When my daughter started seeing her, she could not tie her hair up without immediately getting a migraine (she had special permission to not tie her hair up at school) and after a few sessions with Heidi she was once again able to tie her hair up. Unfortunately for me Heidi and her family also decided to immigrate.  All I can say is that my loss is the Netherlands’ gain!

I first heard about Lyno from my peers and coach in my running training group. I’d had continuous niggles with my hips, knees, and sometimes my ankles and feet. Physio and Chiro would help, but not for the long term – I always found it was a somewhat temporary relief, but the same pains would return. After just a few sessions of Lyno...

I first heard about Lyno from my peers and coach in my running training group. I’d had continuous niggles with my hips, knees, and sometimes my ankles and feet. Physio and Chiro would help, but not for the long term – I always found it was a somewhat temporary relief, but the same pains would return. After just a few sessions of Lyno, ALL my pains and discomfort had disappeared and there was no indication of even the slightest niggle. I also felt more balanced and grounded than I had ever felt – like the most natural position to stand was with two feet firmly planted on the ground, hip width apart. None of the usual bent-knee, tilted-hip standing position.  I loved how strong, capable, balanced, and pain-free I felt so I socialized this further with friends, and the response I received was an overwhelming, “This has changed my life !!!” I have to agree, wholeheartedly. Heidi’s treatments were very thorough and she took great personal care to understand the nature of my lifestyle and the pains I suffered. We detailed every possible trauma I had ever suffered. Her therapy was so beneficial that I would not have to return to her for very long periods, and being pain-free for so long was highly unusual for me. I’d return when I had either done something silly, or just needed maintenance. My teenage daughter, a runner, has also experienced Lyno, and when pain, or niggles debilitate her, she begs for Lyno over everything else. And it sorts her out in a single session! I firmly believe that Lyno is highly essential in everyone’s well-being journey!
