I had no idea what Lyno therapy was, but Roxi explained it so well. She works with her clients in a kind, gentle and professional manner.  Roxi has a unique 6th sense and insight that makes her truly special and extra effective. Not only have I personally benefitted, but the patients I have referred to her have benefitted as well.  

I had the good fortune of working with Roxi, a Lyno practitioner who offers a holistic approach. Roxi's breadth of understanding of the mind-body connection is continually advancing as she constantly researches and grows her knowledge base in an effort to help her clients better. During our sessions, she not only helped me release blockages through Lyno but also offered invaluable insights and purposeful advice that extended beyond the physical application of Lyno. Her approach is not just about physical recovery but emotional and mental welfare. Her understanding of the body and mind connection gives her a dynamic perspective, which allows her to guide her clients through uncovering unfavourable patterns that hinder their personal wellness growth. What sets Roxi apart is her genuine care and commitment to her clients. Her sessions are not just about going through the motions; they are an experience where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Her positive energy is contagious, creating a safe and nurturing space. Working with Roxi has been a happy process and a personal journey. I highly recommend Roxi to anyone looking for a deeper mind-body connection or simply looking to find a deeper relationship with themselves. Thank you, Roxi, for your dedication and impact on my life!  

I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Roxi. I appreciated her holistic, down-to-earth, and kind approach - and could see the impact it had on my body and health almost immediately. Absolutely recommend!  

Roxi is incredibly holistic therapist, looking at the body, mind and nervous system as parts of a whole, rather than just focusing on a “problem” area. I suffered from severe pelvic pain after having children and had visited multiple therapists and specialists. Roxi was the first therapist to treat me in such a holistic way, and for the first time in years, I was running without pain. She is incredibly knowledgeable, not just as a therapist but as an athlete and her passion for healing and optimal form is infectious. She creates a space where I feel safe and seen, but also gives very practical and empowering input to help me heal and move forward.  

I have been a client of Roxy for many years, and when it comes to managing physical discomfort, mobility issues or increasing sport performance, she is my first port of call. I have referred many close friends and family members to her with great confidence. On top of which, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend making an appointment with her."  

Late last year after training extensively I began to experience the debilitating pain associated with ‘runner’s knee.’ I had numerous appointments with a physiotherapist and diligently followed a rehabilitation schedule but to no avail. I was growing increasingly despondent and contemplating alternative treatments when a friend recommended Roxy. I was initially sceptical but hugely impressed after our first encounter. Roxy adopts a holistic approach and is hugely insightful particularly given her running pedigree. She provided me with a comprehensive solution which included learning a new breathing technique. After a handful of sessions and following her guidance I have been exercising pain free ever since and have completed several extreme trail races this year. I would have no hesitation in recommending Roxy and guarantee that you will benefit enormously from her wellness and functional knowledge.  

Since my emergency caesarean section 2 years ago I've had lower back issues. I went to so many specialists including chiropractors and osteopaths but they all just treated the symptoms. Roxi was the only specialist to find the root cause and treat it. I am a new person and so grateful to have found her. She works with your individual needs and helps guide you in a holistic way. Book a session. You won't regret it.  

After 16 years of being a passionate Pilates Instructor, and after only four sessions of Roxy’s Lyno, I feel quite different in my whole being like never before. Like the therapy, this feeling is magical, transformative, hard to put exact descriptive words to. It is what it is. Real, profound, true, natural, right. After diligently carrying out my homework that Roxy gave me to do after and in-between each session, I honestly can say that my core is now balanced, thus stronger and I feel incredibly grounded, mentally and physically. As Roxy is such a fit and accomplished athlete herself, I feel that her Lyno practice comes from a true and intuitive source, making it all the more effective for the receiver of her amazing therapy.  

I started going to Roxy after I broke the top of my foot in a number of places and had spent 8 weeks in plaster. I had seen the physio and it didn't seem to be helping with my rehab and ability to walk properly and exercise again. Roxy did 3 sessions with me and I was able to go back to boot camp and exercise normally. I have referred many people to Roxy for a number of different reasons and I have received nothing but fantastic feedback. I highly recommend you see Roxy.  

I have always been very healthy, physically strong and maintained a reasonably good level of fitness. I’ve been fortunate in not having had any serious physical injuries, aside from a few sprains and foot injuries from trying to do everything at high speed and pack a million activities into my day. I lead a busy life and my career requires me to travel extensively. A large part of my day is spent at my desk, reading, or taking part in virtual meetings. I try to maintain a balanced and peaceful lifestyle but like many fellow South Africans, I have had exposure to traumatic crime incidents over the past number of years. All these factors have and do influence my mobility and impact my core strength; general wear and tear which is all part of the natural aging process. I heard about Roxy Smith from a friend and admit, I didn’t know much about the Lyno method. I guess one could describe what she does as taking physio to a higher level, engaging not only the physical but emotional blockages preventing the body from functioning optimally. She does this through a mobility and functionality assessment and then, through touch and breathing methods, works to remove any restrictions in the fascia, that thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. It’s not a scary phycology session by any means. This is important because unless you clear emotional trauma, there is always a high probability of recurring blockages and our bodies simply don’t function optimally. A good personal example was my left and close central vision fields which Roxy identified were not functioning as they should as a result of an old trauma. I’d always wondered why I incessantly dropped things and simply put it down to deteriorating eyesight. Since working with Roxy, my mobility and strength are substantially better and I’ve learnt the benefits of proper breathing. We are however creatures of habit so I try to have a session every few weeks which keep me feeling great.  

As both a patient of Roxi and as a fellow colleague - Roxi is an absolute asset to her profession! Roxi has a wealth of health knowledge, she is passionate about sports and well-being, and together with her amazing Lynotherapy and muscle activation skills, her treatments are one of a kind! Not only has she greatly helped patients that I have referred to her, but personally she has been a huge contributor to helping me achieve my running and triathlon goals!  

I had been plagued with injuries and niggles for some time. About 2 years ago I was introduced to Roxi and Lyno therapy, which I had never heard of before. Since working with Roxi my body is in a far better place and those injuries have disappeared. I will forever be grateful of my exposure to Lyno therapy and the relationship I have developed with Roxi over this time.

I started seeing Roxi for Lyno at the beginning of 2021 and I was immediately impressed - not only by her knowledge but also to her commitment to the well-being of her clients. In the middle of 2021, I developed an ITB niggle. This was just as I was starting a marathon build for the Cape Town marathon in October.that year. Conventional wisdom says that as you increase mileage in marathon training, something like an ITB niggle will almost inevitably get worse. I was convinced that I was doomed. But Roxi was relentless in her pursuit of helping me to find and address the cause of the niggle and to get rid of it quickly and effectively. By the fourth week of my marathon training, I was running completely pain free. I have been seeing Roxi consistently for Lyno therapy since then and she has been instrumental in keeping me injury free, teaching me to run strong and activated and helping me achieve my running goals. She's the most worthwhile investment you can make in your running if you are committed to achieving running longevity.

I was referred to Roxi when I had chronic pain from old dance injuries. Other forms of physical therapy would give me temporary relief, but working with Roxi helped me understand my issues and start to change habitual movement patterns. Years later, I have learnt so much and my body feels better than ever before. I look forward to maintenance sessions with Roxi - they're great to keep me in shape physically, but also play a role in my mental and emotional self-care. Roxi is an intuitive healer and an awesome human being.

As an older Triathlete it imperative for me to keep all the body boxes ticked, all niggles kept under control to make sure I can enjoy the remaining years I have to do races, that’s where Roxi comes in. She’s on my “team”. Every month we do maintenance, treat the niggles and she does a great job reminding me of how the body works and why we must function optimally.

She fixes my body. Each time I’m home, I find her. She does this healing work. When I first met her, she told me things about my body without me saying a word, just her touching it… I was scared but leaned into how my body was willing to speak.. and I couldn’t hide. But also, was the realisation how the body will give you indicators on how to heal it, and who heals it. Roxi, you are a gem beyond words.

Roxy is awesome! I used to struggle with regular training injuries but these are fast disappearing as I learn Roxy’s magic.

Roxi knows where the weaknesses of the body are. I was amazed at how she finds it , without me telling her. I am a physiotherapist and a pole athlete, age 73. Every time after a session with Roxi, I have a good poling session. As a therapist, a see the value in her work and have referred certain clients to her . As in her work , she teaches you how to heal your body yourself. The feedback is always positive. Her energy is infectious.
