Santosa Detox Wellness Center Class Participants Discovering The Bertele Method

Do you have problems with tendinitis? Do you suffer from fractures and dislocations, lower back pain or a frozen shoulder? Have you been diagnosed with arthritis or do you have rheumatisms? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the Mezieres-Bertele Method is for you. It is a unique 4 hands massage that comes with great benefits.

What is the Mezieres-Bertele Method?

The Mezieres-Bertele Method is a physiological 4 hands massage that produces amazing results. The method teaches that the human body has 5 key muscle strains. The key strain is the back to the backside of the two legs, followed by the two arms, neck and chin. The last strain is the muscle under the chest.

These 5 muscle chains are not independent. In fact, they all affect each other. When you have pain in one of the strains and seek treatment, a traditional physiotherapist will work on the symptoms, however, if you work on only one the others will compensate. It is important to work on all muscle strains so that they can eventually balance out.

The Mezieres-Bertele Method utilizes a 4 hand massage technique to work on all of the body, and especially focus on the back which, according to this method, is the most important. Essentially, the method is a physiotherapy technique that endeavors to rebalance different muscle and joint chains through stretching exercises and body awareness. The result is improved posture and alleviation of pain.

A treatment during the Mezieres-Bertele Method is performed by two therapists who specialize in treating all the back, joint and muscle pain. 3 to 5 times of continuous treatment will show great results.

Who Benefits from the Mezieres-Bertele Method?

The Mezieres-Bertele Method is beneficial for everyone. If you are looking to improve your posture, motorial capacity, physical state or just to generally feel better, the Mezieres-Bertele Method can be of great benefit.

Does your body often feel uncomfortable or do you experience physical discomfort? Perhaps you have a troublesome back, an annoying hip, hernia disc problems or fractures and dislocations? If you suffer from any of these ailments, the stretching technique utilized in the Mezieres-Bertele Method could ease your discomfort and possibly eradicate it for good.

The techniques used in the method are also efficient for neurological diseases such as hemiplegia or spastic tetraplegia. The Mezieres-Bertele Method balances and relaxes the back ensuring a more flexible body and better posture while eliminating stress and pain.

During any treatment using the Mezieres-Bertele Method, attention is focused on postural massage techniques, neuromuscular, fascial and other maneuvers to promote the overall relaxation of the muscular system, contractures or painful points. Lastly, it is interesting to note that the Mezieres-Bertele Method is the technique used to heal ailments of the Italian football team.

An Introduction to the Mézières-Bertelè Method

Nov 6, 2017 | Santosa Event

Santosa Detox Wellness Center Women Gets Back Treatment

Created and developed in 1947 by Françoise Mézières, the Mézières Method is a physiotherapy technique that endeavors to rebalance the different muscle and joint chains through stretching exercises and body awareness. The result is improved posture and alleviation of pain.

Laura Bertelè was a student of Mézières who later became a collaborator and started teaching the Mézières-Bertelè Method in Italy and abroad.

The Mézières-Bertelè Method

According to Françoise Mézières, an individual’s back muscles behave like a single muscular chain. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the back musculature. If the back muscles are not extended or become out of balance, they can become the source of many problems and injuries in the body.

Utilizing the Mézières-Bertelè Method, the treatment focuses on the mobility of back muscles and joints in a progressive way which balances breathing while stretching the muscles which helps enhance body awareness. During the treatment, a 4 hands massage is administered to help stretch the muscles.

Another important discovery of the Mézières-Bertelè Method is that muscles, even more than determining the movement of articulations, act as a break for them and so they have to be elasticized in order to move the articulation. Neurophysiologists teach us that muscles are quite similar to elastic bands and can be dynamic structures when used in stretching or contraction.

It is believed that the suffering of muscular fiber is caused by the physiological loss of contract-release sequence which interferes with normal blood circulation. The technique developed by Mézières-Bertelè consists of distending the dorsal to tonify the deep front muscles and reestablish the energetical equilibrium of the right. In order to connect the inadequate posture, we have to correct our rigid movements.

The method’s techniques are also efficient for neurological diseases such as hemiplegia or spastic tetraplegia. The Mézières-Bertelè Method balances and relaxes the back ensuring a more flexible body and better posture while eliminating stress and pain.

About the Therapists

Michele Kaisermann has been a Mézières-Bertelè therapist since 2012. He first experienced the method as a child and was moved by its owner and uniqueness. In 2010, Michele took part in an “Integrated Rehabilitation” course with well-known French therapist Jean-Paul Resseguier who was also a student of Francoise Mézières. In Milan in 2015, Michele started to study Western Traditional Fitoterapy. Currently based in Florence, Michele also works in Barcelona and Paris as well as intensive weeks abroad.

Orsola Viola is a clinical Pedagogist, and her interest lies in how posture promotes the general well-being of the human body. She attended the Antigymnastique formation in Milan, which is a technique inspired by the Mézières mechanical body’s laws, where little conscious movements are used to get a right and deeper body perception. This experience inspired Orsola to begin studying the Mézières-Bertelé Method. Orsola finds this method the best way to enhance the wholeness of the human body while letting people experience a different posture. She often works with children and is based in Foggia, but travels to Milano, Parigi, Panarea and abroad for her work.
