Liezel Roberts

Directional Tension Release:

Directional Tension Release is a non-invasive hands-on complementary technique. 

Liezel uses precise pressure and light stimuli to trigger the body’s natural reflex response to release tension in the body.  This increases nerve function which leads to enhancing the healing process. 

Injuries, bad posture, unilateral sport (e.g. tennis; golf; cricket) or repetitive strenuous movements puts more stress on certain muscles than others. This causes an imbalance in muscle development and excessive friction between bones, cartilage, muscles and ligaments.  The body can also store tension from emotional stress.

Pressure on nerves undermines nerve function and lowers your quality of life.  Pain; stiffness; headaches; indigestion; numbness and fatigue are some of the effects of poor nerve innervation.
 

Who is it for:

-        Physically active people (sport, gardening, etc)
-        People who often have to do repetitive strenuous movements (dancers, golfers, gymnasts, cleaners, etc.)
-        People who work in compromised postures (dentists, artists, musicians, plumbers, electricians, desk jobs)
-        Anybody who wants to benefit from the treatment
-        All ages benefit
 

Benefits include:

• Flexibility & mobility improves
• Better muscle tone
• Enhanced coordination, balance and timing
• Improved body mechanics
• Reduce the risk of injury
• Better quality of life

During a session:

Liezel will take a short case history to determine possible reasons for the cause of discomfort.
She will ask about previous injuries, strenuous activities, lifestyle, etc.
The client is fully clothed during this gentle procedure and will first lie face down and then face up on a comfortable bed.
A session typically lasts about 50minutes (except for the 1st session where more time is needed to gather information.)
Liezel does a series of reflex tests to locate areas of tension and then applies precise pressure to release the tension.
