Sophia Breust
Structural Integration Practitioner (ATSI)
Remedial Massage Therapist
Registered Nurse
Hey 👋 nice to have you here! I’m Sophia, and I’m extremely passionate about educating people about their bodies and ways to optimise their emotional, physical & spiritual health🚶
I’m also a Structural Integrator, Remedial Massage Therapist and former Registered Nurse who runs a busy clinic in Norwood, SA called Muscle Sense. One of my top values is to always find a better way, which is what Muscle Sense is all about.
I strongly believe that the body has an innate superpower, which is healing. Given the right environment of balanced posture & movement, your body is able to regenerate and heal itself.
At Muscle Sense we educate our clients on a range of movements and postural cues to create the most optimal environment for their body. However, we also understand that posture and movement are highly unique for everyone, so we are constantly looking for a better way to help each individual client move and feel their best ☀️
This was all brought about through my own journey with my body when I was having particular niggles and pains after a few years of weightlifting.
I tried massage, physio, and chiropractic for a number of those years but it wasn’t until I came across Structural Integration (SI) that I started to feel better within my body. It was through SI that I began to feel more fluid in everyday life, I was holding myself upright with ease and after time my niggles completely subsided. Not only did the hands-on work make me FEEL good, but I was also given the education on HOW to hold myself so I could be conscious of the patterns that were not beneficial to me. And, the good news was, I was no longer reliant on treatment!
This is the foundation of Muscle Sense and all our practitioners strive to help - we use hands-on techniques along with thorough assessment and education so you can enjoy long-term change.
