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.
Myofascial Release

What is called myofascial release today factually found its origin in much earlier existing psychotherapeutic and somatic disciplines about which you can read about more here.
Jelle Schaegen's Unique Myofascial Release Techniques
Because of getting more and more dissatisfied with the results of how therapists were using all kind of manual techniques trying to heal musculoskeletal problems, Jelle just necessarily had to go out on his own to find a better way. It took him many years to figure out how to be able do that in the most efficient way possible but in the end though he succeeded.
Strictly Therapeutic
After honing his way of working trying many possibilities again and again, Jelle Schaegen can offer you now the most effective and unsurpassable myofascial release technique there is. By the way, before completely surrendering himself to a more strictly therapeutic way of working he has given several thousands of strong full body massages to both men and women, young and old.

“Jelle is an expert! He knows so much about the body; it’s skeletal structure and the various layers of tissues. He’s very professionally experienced on… a technical-physical level but he also understands a great deal about what’s happening within all of us on an emotional, mental and spiritual level. He works sensibly, steadily and thoroughly with great gentleness (though it can be challenging at times ;-)) and empathy. He oversees a greater picture: the total of someone’s body and mind and the way in which it reflects the person’s life as being part of a greater story in general. He has a very clear intuition and that enables him to decide in which areas to work with his clients. I have been suffering from pelvic instability and vehement pains in my pelvis and lower back for a long time. His working deeply within the fascia helps to release old and long-term built up tensions and blocks that were formed there, gradually allowing me to regain freedom of movement and greater relaxation. In fact, my pains have subdued a whole lot since his work with me. And I am learning a lot about my body and myself. He is a wise and very scarce type of ‘master’-practitioner and I can recommend him whole-heartedly!” Read more “He knows so much about the body”

“Thanks to the bodywork of Jelle Schaegen the unconceiveable has happened: he has (or I have through his work) got rid of severe chronic pain… in my right ankle and leg, which was years ago diagnosed as arthrosis and could only be battled by strong painkillers. I also had regularly rather sharp pains in my lower back and left hip. All these pains together made even taking a few steps a very unpleasant chore. With great assurance Jelle never even looked at the ankle, just worked for a few hours on and in the softer parts of my torso, as in the pictures on his website. Even if the therapy is sometimes painful, the peaceful atmosphere Jelle creates and the breathing advice he gives, make the sessions very congenial. I have had (only) three sessions up to now, but already I can walk normally and do not need any painkillers, as the pains have left me!! Thank you, Jelle” Read more “severe chronic pain in my right ankle and leg”
