Focus on....Mezieres Method and Postural Re-education at Hoxton Health - with Emma Diani
We are often asked about the benefits of the Postural Re-education and the Mezieres Method treatments at Hoxton Health, so we thou ght we would do a quick update here. The Mezieres method was first created by French physiotherapist Francoise Mezieres French. It is based on the principles that Mezieres observed, that in the human body the muscles form functional units called muscle chains linking together to form structures - like the postural chain that runs from the top of the head to the toes. The method was a further developed by Dr Bertele, a student and collaborator of Mezieres, as well as being a psychologist, physical therapist and moto-rehabilitation specialist. The Mezieres method of Postural Re-education has become highly sophisticated method of diagnosis treatment and prevention
Emma Diani, who offers these treatments at Hoxton Health, is a multi-qualified therapist with 25 years experience. Emma trained in Italy at physio - massage school, where she met Laura Bertele, a doctor who was the first student, and then collaborator, of Francoise Mezieres, and this made Emma decide to study the Mezieres Method herself. Emma now specialises in what has become the world-renowned Mezieres/Bertele postural re- education method.
What will happen in a treatment session? First the practitioner will always carry out a general and thorough postural examination, where postural and muscular problems are highlighted. Massage and manual manipulation techniques are then used, aiming to re-balance the muscles, concentrating on lengthening of the most contracted muscles and to restore the postural chain to a harmonious balance.
This method is suitable for people who want to improve and to balance their posture, for all physical problems like a scoliosis, kiphosis, back pain, stiff neck and limited mobility - as well as being a holistic treatment for physical and emotional wellbeing, and for the prevention of injury and falls.
Emma is also qualified in the medical Lympho-drainage Vodder method for treating circulation and swelling problems post cancer and post surgery. Her wide ranging
experience also includes different kinds of massage, including deep tissue, Swedish, sport and aromatherapy.
