What is bodywork?

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

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.

“Thanks so much for all you did during those 2 massages, its really brought my awareness to the amount of old family anger I’m still… carrying. Now I can see and feel it I am trying to break the pattern. I am staying with my very old Mum and I am determined not to end up like her with a lot of anger resulting in constant pain; this goes back through the female ancestry as far as I can tell. Anyway, your description of fascia being steel or liquid is very helpful. Hope you are having a busy time, you are such a good healer.” Read more “old family anger I’m still carrying”
Mrs. S. J., July 7 2018, Somerset, UK
“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”
Jutka Rona, February 2015, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Jelle has treated me during several episodes in the past 15 years (lower back problems, neck problems). His massage is more than just massage, he… helped me to “face the Music “ (working too hard, always busy, never at home; which literally caused me not being able to breath) and helped me to find a more balanced way of life. On top of that he managed to solve my physical obstructions.” Read more “the past 15 years”
