Channelled Energy Techniques That Complement Physiotherapy and Massage
Where Energy Work Meets Body Work
When clients ask me, “Can Reiki help with my back pain, old injury or tension after massage?” — my answer is: Yes, if you see the body as more than muscle and bone.
I’ve worked with many women who come for Reiki after physiotherapy or massage because they intuitively know that their tension isn’t just physical. Sometimes the body holds stress in layers that touch the mind and heart too.
This is where channelled energy can gently bridge the gap.
Why Reiki Energy Complements Physical Therapy
Physiotherapy and massage do wonders for circulation, alignment and releasing muscle knots. But when you add intentional energy work — like Reiki — you help the nervous system drop even deeper into repair mode.
When the body relaxes at this level:
Muscles soften faster.
Healing response improves.
Stress hormones decrease.
The person feels safe enough to truly let go.
Studies have shown that stress slows down the body’s repair processes. A calm mind speeds them up.
How I Use Channelled Energy with Clients
In my practice, I often see clients who combine Reiki with physiotherapy.We focus on:
Placing hands gently over areas of tension.
Supporting the flow of energy along meridians.
Using sound (like gentle chimes or forks) to break up energetic blockages.
This doesn’t replace medical care — it complements it.I always encourage clients to continue seeing their physiotherapist, osteopath or massage therapist. Reiki adds a layer of gentle support that speaks to the emotional roots behind physical pain.
What Clients Notice
Most people say they feel:
Deeper relaxation than with massage alone.
Warmth, tingling or waves of release in tight areas.
A sense of ‘lightness’ or a shift in mood.
One client once told me: “I came for my tight shoulders. I left feeling like I dropped a bag of old worries.”
That is the quiet power of energy work: it touches what your hands can’t reach.
How to Combine Them at Home
Between physiotherapy sessions, you can support yourself by:
Placing hands gently on the area you’re working on.
Breathing slowly into that spot.
Visualising warmth and softness.
Playing calming sounds to help your mind slow down.
Trust and Safety Come First
I want you to know: my approach is never to replace your doctor, physio or specialist.I’m here to walk alongside your healing — as an extra layer of care that sees you as a whole person.
You deserve to feel supported physically, mentally and energetically.

Marta Jedlinska - Reiki & Sound Healing

Reiki for post massage recovery enhances healing by promoting deep relaxation and energy flow. Practitioners often use energy balancing before physical therapy to prepare the body, while combining Reiki with manual bodywork supports deeper release. The benefits of energy healing during physiotherapy include reduced pain and tension. Reiki aids in supporting tissue repair with Reiki and provides energy alignment for muscle relaxation. Integrating Reiki in integrative bodywork practice allows for a holistic approach, reducing pain with Reiki sessions and offering holistic support for physical rehabilitation through the mind body connection in healing treatments.
