Jill Haslam is a fully-qualified Kinetic Therapist, Yoga Teacher and RockBlade trained therapist.
Have you got the mettle for Heavy Metal Kinetic? Using hand-crafted British surgical steel tools, Jill’s Kinetic Therapy boosts your strength, flexibility, and range of motion. This therapy gets deep heavy to release tightness and pressure on sites of scar tissue.
Gua Sha is a traditional East Asian medicine practice involving the use of a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin, producing light petechiae (small red or purple spots) on the skin. If you think Gua Sha is just about smoothing muscles or breaking up fascia, let’s go deeper.
In Kinetic Therapy, Gua Sha becomes a powerful tool not only for myofascial release, but for triggering a multi-system healing response - physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Gua Sha is not just a tool. It’s a ritual of release - a nervous system reset. A pathway back to your body’s original wisdom. When paired with Kinetic Therapy, it becomes a precision tool for the whole body.
Why Kinetic Therapy Isn’t Just Skin Deep (And Why It Belongs in Your Bodywork Ritual)
Here’s what this ancient (and now reawakened) technique can do for your body on all levels:
Muscle + Fascia Benefits
Releases muscle tension and softens scar tissue * Frees stuck fascia and improves mobility * Increases circulation and lymphatic drainage * Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair * Relieves tension-related pain (e.g. lower back, neck, shoulders, hips)
Internal / Systemic Benefits
Supports healthy circulation – enhancing oxygenation and nutrient delivery to your organs * Activates the parasympathetic nervous system – calming the body and reducing stress hormones * Improves respiratory flow – especially when used on the chest or back * Stimulates immune function – moving stagnant lymph and detoxifying the system * Regulates internal organ systems – through meridian line stimulation (used in TCM for liver, kidneys, digestion, lungs)
Energetic + Emotional Benefits
Releases emotional memory stored in the tissues * Unblocks energetic stagnation in key channels * Helps move grief, stress, or suppressed emotion out of the body safely * Rebuilds the mind-body connection – returning the body to a state of sovereignty and flow
