Average Rating
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!
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!

MAP stands for Myofascial Activated Posture. It is a specialized physical therapy and movement technique that focuses predominantly on rehabilitating and hydrating your body’s fascia—the continuous structural connective tissue suit that surrounds all muscles, bones, and organs.
Unlike passive stretching or traditional weight lifting, MAP Movement uses your own body weight and controlled movement patterns to explore all directions of your fascial suit, creating space in restricted joint areas and then strengthening your body into that newly created space. A foundational component of every session is in-depth breathing rehabilitation, as breath is the primary driver of movement and nervous system regulation. By combining fascia activation, breathing techniques, and targeted props (such as foam rollers and peanut release balls), MAP delivers sustainable, long-term pain relief and improved posture rather than temporary fixes.
MAP Movement is designed for people of all ages, athletic abilities, and fitness levels. It is particularly effective for individuals dealing with:
Chronic back or neck pain (including degenerated discs, sciatica, and post-accident recovery). Postural dysfunctions such as kyphosis, rounded shoulders, or tightness from desk work. Rehabilitation needs to recover from injury or avoid invasive surgical procedures. Athletic performance & mobility for runners, swimmers, footballers, gymnasts, and cyclists. Senior mobility, helping older adults maintain independence, balance, and ease of movement. Whether you are recovering from an acute flare-up, managing a long-term condition, or looking to enhance your sports performance, exercises are tailored to ensure you move safely within your current capabilities.
An Individual 1-on-1 Consultation is highly recommended as the starting point for your MAP journey. During a private consultation, founder Martina Johannes (a registered physiotherapist) conducts a comprehensive clinical assessment of your fascial suit tightness, muscle strength, and breathing mechanics using the 5 core MAP principles. This personalized approach helps pinpoint the exact root causes of your discomfort and prepares your body to transition safely into a group class environment.
However, if you do not have acute injuries or simply prefer group dynamics, you are welcome to join our In-Studio Group Classes or Online Classes directly. Group classes move and strengthen bodies across all movement planes, providing a fun, motivating, and comprehensive rehabilitation routine.
Yes, 1-on-1 individual sessions are claimable from your medical aid because Martina Johannes is a registered physiotherapist.

Individual 1-on-1 Sessions: R600 per session (Medical Aid Claimable).
