Joshua Hartley
Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist •Musculoskeletal and Energetic Therapy combining Anatomical • Biomechanical, and Chinese 5 Element Appraisal.
With a main background as a movement trainer, my focus is to analyse each individual body from both a biomechanical, anatomical lens, as well as utilising insight from the traditional chinese medicine and 5 elements perspective. Through these understandings of the human system, I aim to offer deep release and restoration of tight, taxed musculoskeletal tissues and the nervous system with the combination of zenthai shiatsu bodywork and awareness of breath and sensations. I will also offer therapeutic activation and mobilisation movements for you to practice in your own time to consistently apply towards the imbalances in your structure.
Joshua says...
"I find this human being fascinatingly complex and mysteriously simple at the same time. Natural human movements, moderation and intention with what we physically intake, how we rest, time in natural environments, the quality of our thoughts, and our connections/communications with others combine to provide us with the energy we get to live with. Exploring our relationships to, understanding of, and values based around these areas is a more than worthy life pursuit/meaning in my world, as they ripple into every thing we do and who we choose to be in every moment."
