What is bodywork?
The term Bodywork stands for many different techniques which are used to provide healing and relaxation. What kind of Bodywork to choose depends on the kind of therapy that is needed? Some forms of bodywork will involve the manipulation of one´s posture, exercise, energy rebalancing and more.

What does bodywork consist of?
There are three techniques that are used in bodywork. While some forms of bodywork will utilize more than one of these, to name it bodywork, it must possess at least one:
Massage, Energy Balancing, Movement Awareness and Structural Realignment.
Most bodywork techniques are based on a holistic view of health and believe that it is just as important to treat the mind as it is the body. There is also a necessity to provide relevant information about the literal or experiential meaning of what physical, emotional, mental or spiritual wellbeing is.
Who can benefit from Bodywork therapy?
Many people from all walks of life, both young and old, can benefit from bodywork therapy. The most important thing is to inform your practitioner of any medical conditions you may have, as well as to ask your physician if there is any reason you shouldn’t receive a specific bodywork therapy treatment. Bodywork therapy can help in many ways, physically, emotionally and mentally. Research the many different forms of bodywork to determine which one is best for you.

Don’t take my word for it. See what others say!
“Having been told many times that the body is the key and has the answers locked away inside I still tend to favour the mind… and its mind games. But on a recent visit to Spain and suffering severe hip pain I encountered Jelle and some doors started to open, I only hope that without him the doors remain open and I can grow and flourish. I wish I could have taken him home in my suitcase!!!. The way he works is profound and professional. Jelle is passionate about his work. His knowledge and hands know how to set a body free, more than one has ever felt before! I cannot honestly say the treatment was painless but with his help I was able to breathe my way through it and it was really worth a bit of discomfort. I even trusted him with my darling dog and it worked for her too……. Jelle, thank you so much for all your help during my visit on the physical and emotional level.” Read more “suffering severe hip pain”
Ann Starkey, April 2015, Divonne les Bain, France
I came across Jelle through a post on Facebook. Having spent the previous 5 years trying to find pain relief having undergone 4 hip operations,… I thought I have nothing to lose. I was very sceptical at first, having consulted many physiotherapists, visited pain relief professionals and even second opinions from surgeons. I am so pleased and amazed that Jelle has been the only person to help me. I have gone from chronic pain 24 hours a day to mild discomfort only occasionally. I can now walk, bend and sit, I am even starting to discard my trainers that I have worn for the last 5 years. To put it in a nutshell, I now have my life back and I am now looking forward to a pain free future. Thank you so much Jelle. Read more “from chronic pain 24 hours a day to mild discomfort”
Mrs. Susan Broadhead, Sheffield, UK, 24/01/2021
When I met Jelle last year my life changed. I had scoliosis, lordosis, two slipped discs L4-L5-S1. A problem with my right hip, problem with… my coccyx, so sitting had become unbearable; bursitis on both shoulders that had become rounded. Problem with my neck, very bad migraines and TMJ pain coupled with nerve issues. Sciatica in my right leg. So I was in a lot of pain! I had little quality of life, so hence I suffered depression, anxiety and severe mood swings. All the emotions that come with long term chronic pain. After working with Jelle, within a year I could walk an hour and 10 mins. I have taken out my insoles which I had worn for 20 years. I can now travel by train in London with much more ease. I can sit for a couple of hours now each day. My migraines have almost stopped and my neuralgia has improved by 70%. I do have 3-4 treatments every time Jelle comes to London and my friends any family have benefited immensely from his treatments too. Now I can see a bright future without pain. Working with Jelle has been the best investment I have ever made. Every time I see him I get so excited to have his treatments because I know I’m getting better and better. In my 25 years of pain I have tried everything under the sun. I have spent about 25,000 £ to try to manage my pain and finally I found someone who actually could fix it rather than give me temporary pain relief. I shout about Jelle to anyone who has chronic pain. So if you would like to write to me please ask Jelle for my email. I’m happy to help.” Read more “I had scoliosis, lordosis, two slipped discs L4-L5-S1”
