A few words about me

My name is Tereza Kralova, I am a massage therapist, and I am fascinated by the communication and connectedness within the human body. Thanks to this passion, I mainly focus my attention on myofascial structures. I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Canada, BC. During my case study I was introduced to the concept of myofascial meridians described by Thomas Myers and since that time his concept has greatly influenced my practice. Thanks to him I have been focusing on whole myofascial chains instead of only working on the affected tissue. Recently, I have been interested in Karin Gurtner´s work where she has translated and transposed the myofascial meridians into movement and developed the Slings myofascial training concept. This is now the path of my current education. Connecting manual therapy and this exercise makes sense for me and I believe that it will be hugely beneficial for my clients as well.

What to expect from my therapeutic massage

Firstly, we spend some time discussing your health history and the reason for your visit. Then during the massage, I use a variety of gentle techniques, which means it is a pleasant and relaxing experience overall. I perform myofascial release techniques without any oil and then for all other techniques I use pure coconut oil of which I use only a small amount so that I can feel the individual muscles and I can work specifically on them and their attachments. I release myofascial trigger points with a gentle pressure which I adjust according to the tissue feedback and then If necessary, I perform gentle joint mobilizations, kinesiotaping, manual lymph drainage or other techniques. At the end of the appointment we can discuss some homecare recommendations so that your issue won´t come back.

Testimonials

"For more than 2 years, I worked with Tereza as her clinical supervisor, classroom teacher, and now I am proud to call her a colleague. During her time as a student and working in the public clinic, Tereza clearly demonstrated to me that she has the potential to practice as a clinician with an uncommon ability to balance clinical excellence with a warm personality. Janda, Vojta, and Levitt are the founding fathers of the most widely accepted foundational principals of physical therapy today. Tereza is a uniquely qualified manual therapist, and I anticipate that Prague will know modern manual therapy, in part because of her."

"I am so happy to have found Tereza! She is one of the most professional therapists I have ever met, extremely through, careful, with a holistic approach to treating the body. She takes her time to get to know you, you never feel rushed or "just another body". Meticulous and dedicated, Tereza is very focussed on helping and treating the client in a highly personalised way. As a yoga teacher myself, I am very happy to recommend her to my students."

"I enjoyed many good massages all around the world but the two with Tereza were totally amongst the best if not the best I ever had. She is a master of her art and made me feel comfortable from the second I entered the nice office. Further, she did not only manage to make me feel relaxed but also achieved to start a "healing process" of some back issues that no other therapist (physio, chiro, massage) did ever before. Thank you very much Tereza! I highly recommend this clinical massage and will be back for sure the next time I visit Prague."

"I went to Tereza for treatment of chronic migraines. I am 21 weeks pregnant and was referred by my GP & OB-GYN to a different health practitioners (neurologist, cardiologist, physiotherapists, etc) with no positive results. She relieved my migraine headache during the first session with a very restorative and calming massage! I left clinic rejuvenated and highly relaxed. Now, I am migraine headaches free and happy I do not have to take pain killers anymore. I also deeply appreciate her superlative massage therapy skills and expertise, ability to tune into patient’s body, and her sense of empathy! Thank you Tereza for helping me get back to my normal routine."
