Jan Erik is trained in Sweden and certified as Masseur and Massage Therapist in 2004 resp. 2009. He practices Deep Tissue Massage and Massage Therapy and works therapeutically with pressure point release and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) as effective ways of using reflexes and neurological memory to assist muscular relaxation and improve performance.
Anyone, whether living an active or more sedate life, will gain benefits from therapeutic massage. And many of us yearn for an approach to healthcare which is sensitive and caring. Physical contact affects us both mentally and physiologically and can work well in conjunction with orthodox medicine or other complementary therapies.
Jan Erik qualified in 2017 as Certified Traditional Usui Reiki Practitioner (Level I, II and Master). His energy healing is always integral part of any of his therapeutic approaches, but can also be received by itself on request.
Massage Therapy has proven to reduce tensions, aches, muscle pain, it improves sleep, relieves anxiety and stress and promotes a sense of general well-being.
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is a stretching technique that can improve your range of motion after injury or surgery. It also promotes muscle flexibility and strength.
Reiki is a universal tool for physical healing, but also increases mental and spiritual growth, awareness, insight and wisdom. It uses palm healing through which “universal energy” (also: ki, chi, prana or soul) is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the client, but can even be received through space and time.
Jan Erik’s treatments are tailored after consultation to your individual needs, whether you are looking to reduce tensions or blockages, aid recovery from an injury or illness, increase your flexibility or simply reduce stress and relax – you will find yourself in good hands with him.
