I’ve been dealing with chronic pain since 2021 and a few years my friend introduced me to MAP with Martina and it has changed my life. I am no longer living my life with the fear of flare ups, I can move more freely and even if I do get one, I have the tools to deal with it. Even if you don’t live with chronic pain, MAP is amazing (and I am constantly recommending Martina to anyone who stands still long enough around me).

This past week marked 4 years since my discectomy. I had a ruptured disc at L4, L5 and S1. My foot dropped and the whole experience was incredibly stressful. It was from years of marathon running and CrossFit is ultimately what caused the injury, but I believe it was a result of many things.

 

Whilst my surgery was “successful”, I was told by my surgeon that my foot may never return to “normal”. My excellent physio referred me to Map: Move with Martina. To say this changed my life is an understatement. By attending Map once a week and including map movements in my daily routine meant that I am now stronger than I have ever been and most importantly for me, I am able to be an active dad with my toddler son with no hindrances. This past weekend my 3 year old and I both were able to master an overhead flip at our local trampoline park. Map works guys! Thank you, Martina!

MAP Movement restores functionality! The little aches and pains that become more noticeable as one ages are gradually removed by MAP Movement. Consistency is key!

I would recommend Martina’s classes to all ages and fitness levels. They give you the tools to help your own body recover and significantly improve quality of life.

Since going to map classes with Martina, I have a better understanding of how our bodies move and are supposed to move. The classes are set up in such a way that anybody can take part – your fitness level does not matter. Just start! Martina is a helpful and friendly instructor, who knows how to push you to become stronger! 💪🏻

MAP Classes with Martina has made a huge impact on my recovery process and has empowered me to help myself when I have pain or stiffness. I can really recommend it to anyone who has gone for various fisio therapy sessions but had to go frequently to get relief. The sessions teach me to self adjust during the week when needed.

Martina is an excellent physiotherapist. Her MAP exercise classes are great and she is really accommodating of your needs. I can already feel the difference after only one session. I would definitely recommend her classes to anyone. News moms can also bring their babies to the Monday morning class.

Rennie is a true master of MAP, with a depth of knowledge that shows in every class. I highly recommend her classes without hesitation – I began noticing improvements in my overall wellbeing far earlier than expected (I’d been told it could take at least six months). Missing a class with her now genuinely feels like something’s missing from my week.

Martina’s hawk eyes are on every person in the class and she expertly guides everyone at their level. Pair that with her quirky sense of humour and you’ve got a space where people can feel safe, focused and challenged. Her passion and knowledge of not only MAP, but how the body works is a gift that she shares with integrity and commitment to every client. I am nearly a year in and I can say with certainty that I will MAP for life!

Marrina Johannes is truly dedicated & knowledgeable with regards to the body & it’s functionality.
When reaching the 60’s, one generally experiences aches & pains- we are lead to believe is “normal” by the medical fraternity.
Since doing Martinas’ Mapping- I’ve learnt this is not so!!
I am an ex nurse (not taught about this) & this unique way of correct movement, stretching & breathing- is revolutionary!! Learning only now about facia – it’s function, its deterioration & how to maintain it for balance, stability is truly fantastic for anyone and imperative for seniors!
Do it earlier in age and prevent the old age pains!!!

I was a physiotherapy patient of Martina first 15yrs ago and then I joined her Map classes when she started them 8yrs ago. I have been with her since the start of her Map journey and I have seen a major improvement on my injury to my back with going to her classes. My MRI scans are proof there has been an improvement in my injury. I have managed to go to full term in two pregnancies without having back pain and no issues afterwards either. I’m extremely grateful for Martina for her assistance in helping me on my healing journey. Since joining her Map classes my quality of life has become better and I can enjoy the time with my children without being in uncomfortable pain.
