Ryan Jansen , Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist
“Awareness through movement is pivotal to my practice as a physiotherapist. Using movement as a measure, a palpable sensory experience, rather than pain, facilitates clients to understand their condition and gauge progress.”
Ryan is a physiotherapist with over ten years experience in musculoskeletal assessment and treatment. His breadth of experience spans from sports orientated private practices in Perth, Western Australia, to corporate health services within investment banks in London. He is due to qualify as an internationally accredited Feldenkrais practitioner in January 2009, whereby he will be one of only three physiotherapist/Feldenkrais practitioners in the UK.
“Awareness through movement is pivotal to my practice as a physiotherapist. Using movement as a measure, a palpable sensory experience, rather than pain, facilitates clients to understand their condition and gauge progress. The exercises I employ are heavily influenced by the developmental movement patterns utilised by infants in learning how to attain postures and mobilise. Identifying habitual movement patterns, that may be overused or ineffective, and promoting alternatives encourages the diversification of movement options. This can serve to interrupt pain cycles, enhance performance, improve spatial awareness and prevent injury in elite athletes, weekend sports players or people with pain. I have a keen interest in that fantastic mix between being relaxed and being organised for activity, ‘the zone’, and guiding people towards finding this state.
Daily sport, amongst a tribe of thirty plus first cousins, dominated my upbringing and instilled the development of a healthy competitive spirit. A passion for Australian Rules football and a win at all costs attitude led to the treatment table, and the pursuit of physiotherapy. The necessity of pool rehabilitation spurned a love of swimming and an ongoing interest in improving stroke biomechanics. Daydreaming during a languid, yet powerful stroke is a pleasure.
With painting and world music as valued pastimes, London has become an addiction for me. The merge between art and science from football to dance is a constant source of enjoyment.”
