  • Integrative physiotherapy takes a broader view of health and recovery than traditional physiotherapy. While traditional physiotherapy often focuses on a specific injury, or painful area, integrative physiotherapy considers multiple body systems including posture, breathing, movement control, nervous system state, lifestyle, and recovery capacity.

    At Lionheart, this means combining clinical assessment, movement rehabilitation, manual therapy, bodywork, and when appropriate, complementary approaches that support the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic aspects of health and wellbeing.

  • Remedial massage is a therapeutic form of bodywork used to address specific areas tension, soft tissue restriction, and patterns of overload that contribute to pain, stiffness, and movement dysfunction.

    Through techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and targeted soft tissue work, remedial massage helps improve circulation, tissue mobility, and the body’s ability to move and recover efficiently.

    Client’s often seek remedial massage for chronic pain, postural strain, sports-related tension, tightness, or stress-related holding patterns. It can help reduce protective muscle tone, improve range of motion, and restore circulation and ease in the body.

    Within the Lionheart model, remedial massage is not viewed as an isolated treatment but as part of a broader recovery process. In some cases it prepares the body for movement by releasing tension that interferes with stability and coordination. In others it supports recovery alongside physiotherapy, strength training, and regular movement practice. Used in this way, remedial massage becomes a invaluable bridge between hands-on therapy and active rehabilitation.

  • Reiki is a form of energy healing that works through gentle hands-on or hands-off contact to support balance and coherence within the body’s energetic system.

    Originating from Japanese healing traditions, Reiki is based on the understanding that the body is influenced not only by physical structures, but also by subtle energetic processes that affect how we feel, regulate stress, and repair.

    During a Reiki session, the practitioner works with light touch or proximity of the hands to support relaxation and the natural flow of energy through the body. Many people experience a deep sense of calm, warmth, or release as the nervous system settles and the body shifts toward a restorative state.

    People often seek Reiki when experiencing emotional stress, fatigue, inner tension, or a sense of energetic stagnation. It can be particularly supportive for those navigating periods of change, burnout, or heightened life stress.

    Within the Lionheart care model, Reiki is offered as a complementary modality that supports the broader process of recovery and regulation. While physiotherapy and movement practices address the structural and functional aspects of the body, energy healing can help people reconnect with a deeper sense of internal balance and presence, supporting the physical work happening through manual therapy, rehabilitation, and movement training.

  • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS) is a rehabilitation approach from Prauge Rehab University based on developmental kinesiology, the natural movement patterns humans develop in early childhood.

    DNS focuses on restoring breathing mechanics, postural stability, joint centration, and efficient movement control. It helps the body organise movement more effectively, reducing compensatory patterns that often contribute to pain, tension, and overload.

    It is globally used by allied health professionals, personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches in both rehabilitation and performance settings.
