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).

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!

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! 💪🏻

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need To Know Before Starting Your Journey

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.
Our transparent pricing options include:
Individual 1-on-1 Sessions: R600 per session (Medical Aid Claimable).
In-Studio Group Classes (Pretoria): R550 per month for 1 class per week, or R900 per month for 2 classes per week. Online Classes (Global Membership): R500 per month for unlimited live Zoom access and on-demand video replays.

Our online membership is designed for clients who live outside Pretoria or those whose work and family schedules don't align with fixed studio times. As an online member, you receive: 2-Week On-Demand Video Replays: Every week, a recorded video link of the class is sent directly to all online clients. The link remains active for 2 full weeks, allowing you to complete the workout as often as you like, whenever it suits your routine. We also offer optional live classes - if you struggle with compliance we are happy to set up a live feed into any of the current studio times. Join the studio from anywhere in the world!
Our physical studio is conveniently located in Pretoria East at 202 Wanda Road, Murrayfield, Pretoria, 0184. For in-studio classes, all primary movement props are provided during your session. For online members or clients wanting to maintain their practice at home, specialized myofascial release props can be ordered directly from our Online Shop. Recommended starter props include: 90cm Foam Rollers, Orange (Soft) and Blue (Hard) Trigger Point Balls and Looped Resistance Bands.
