Detailed Full Body Assessment Review: ​ "I went to see Joanna at Metta whilst seeking help with injury sustained from lifting and general muscle stiffness. I booked a full body assessment to determine where my body was imbalanced and to highlight the areas which need focus and strengthening. The assessment was incredibly detailed and highlighted all the areas that need attention - this has become a really useful reference for when I am exercising. As a result of the Body Assessment I have since taken several Yoga therapy classes at Metta. Yoga is something I never thought I would get into, but I have found the classes to be physically beneficial and mentally rewarding as I have been able to get my body moving back the way it needs to be. Joanna is super professional, and makes you feel very at ease and able. She puts an enormous amount of time and thought into each session to ensure that you are getting the best use out of each session for your body. Her direction, friendliness and good sense of humour has put me at ease and given me a lot more confidence in correcting my posture and working to alleviate my injuries. Would highly recommend."

Full Body Posture Assessment

PAIN RELIEF. ALIGN . INJURY RELIEF

​

Are you in constant pain or discomfort? Posture and misalignment are the main culprits of pain and tension in the body. Further, the body is the physical support for the mind - the best way to allow the mind to come to rest is to create a stable physical posture through aligning the body in a balanced way so that the body is simultaneously comfortable and stable.

​

Metta can help you by getting to the root of your physical pain and/or mental discomfort, by finding out your misalignments, and then advise and guide your body towards proper alignment that will give you pain free function and balance.

​

A physical observation and bio-mechanic assessment of the client's body will be carried out to find any misalignment and highlight any strengths or weaknesses. The client will be informed at the end of the session of their misalignments and taught alignment principles and some personalised therapeutic yoga postures to strengthen and stretch areas of their body where needed to begin to realign themselves.

​

As well as a​ detailed physical observation and bio-mechanic assessment of the client's body to find any misalignment and highlight any strengths or weaknesses (as explained in the previous Full Body Posture Assessment details), the client will be taught a series of warm up exercises they will practice at home that prepare them for their tailored exercise plan. The client will be given a detailed report that week or for their next session of all their specific misalignments across their body, and alignment principles for each area of the body to become familiar with as we start the journey towards their realignment. If the client chooses to have another session, they will be taught personalised therapeutic strengthening and stretching postures and exercises to begin to relieve their specific misalignments, tension, pain, injury, and associated mental discomfort in the long term.
