Viv Van Zyl

Viv had a deep tissue massage therapist practice in Cape Town from 2000 to 2019 and was fortunate to have a greatly diverse clientele.  She focused on sports, remedial and pregnancy massage and worked at a variety of sporting events, (Cape Epic, Cycle Tours, various marathons, triathlons, international rugby, etc.).  She was also privileged to be able to assist many pregnant moms.

The remedial aspect of her work steered Viv into unravelling chronic injuries and RSI’s.  She discovered the Lyno Method and certified as a Lyno Practitioner in 2016.  Lyno has become a great tool in her understanding of chronic injuries and within her toolbox of soft tissue therapies.  She appreciates this method for its continuous evolution, its truly holistic
perspective of the body and the input into the Method from such a variety of professionals.

Having relocated to Mauritius in 2019, Viv opened her practice under the W+Life group in Tamarin in October 2020.  She is happily introducing a method of fascial assessment and intervention to Mauritius.

All of us at some point in time have tried manipulating muscle, we know about joints and bones and even tendons and ligaments that give rise to aches and pains, but I had never even considered the fascia as being a contributor to my chronic hip pain until I met Lyno practitioner, Viv van Zyl. After careful measuring of my range of motion she set about correcting to ensure equal movement on both sides of my body, explaining how an imbalance could lead to pain in a seemingly unrelated part of my body. What do I love about Lyno? It's not your standard treatment and it's so easy and accessible. What do I love about Viv? She explains everything she is doing, gives you exercises and advice on how to correct your posture/stance and she genuinely cares to find the root of the problem and to correct it! I'd highly recommend Viv if you are feeling pain when you shouldn't and to those who would like to improve their sporting performance.
