"The Stroke Whisperer" - Johnny Seitz "Johnny Seitz is a vibrantly intelligent, compassionate man and healer, with a deep understanding of the workings of the body, mind and soul. My favourite parts of this clip are: "The easy part is getting the body to work, the tough part is getting the mind to wrap itself around that;" and, the man who stands up saying "this isn't possible" while Johnny says to him "it is, you just did it." I have had a bodywork session with Johnny, his reading of the body is like an energetic xray. Amazing work!" "I've known Johnny and Chris for close to ten years and have always been amazed with the miracles he creates through his work. This video is just the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to even more demonstrations of how he contributes to our global community." Johnny Seitz is a personal trainer and a life coach. He runs a studio in Culver City, a part of Los Angeles, where he works with a wide variety of different individuals. With his unique understanding of the human potential Johnny transforms lives.
I come to what I do from a sort of different angle. I am an autistic adult and autistic people are often credited with being able to easily envision very complex systems more easily than normal people. I encapsulate extremely complex systems visually, in this case, human biomechanics. It seems that, perhaps because of my autism, I am able to perceive
messages, even tiny or unfocused ones, being sent by the brain to
a muscle and I can guide the client to augment and to amplify these
messages into actual controlled movements. Other issues that I found needed to be addressed include the view that others close to the client hold the person as a disabled person. For example, with my work, one of my client’s was able to get to her feet under her own power, after 3 years of being immobilized in a wheelchair. We would do 3 sets of 5 “get ups” (get up from the wheel chair!) each day for 3 days and then her husband attended a session and she was unable to get to her feet even one time in his presence! Why? It would seem that their relationship had become centered around her needs as a disabled person and her psyche wasn’t ready to shift his relationship without addressing it in some fashion. Remember I said I was also a life coach? As a personal trainer it would not be my purview to address such issues as a couple’s relationship and their vision of each other. As a life coach, I do. Connecting with natural inner resources In my work I have always worked on helping people access, identify and connect with their own natural inner resources that are naturally in the human body. One’s inner resources help you move through life, coping with life’s stressors, adapting and strategizing in order to compensate for traumas both physical and emotional. Your inner resources help you to find your way when you are less comfortable than you would like to be. The human body is a perfectly designed stress management machine.
I teach individuals to develop strategies to manage stressful situations
in their life by accessing the appropriate muscle recruitment patterns
that give an individual powerful support. We often hold emotions in the muscles of our bodies, the very muscles that were tensed up in the physical or the emotional situation of a past trauma. I have created techniques to use these muscles in such a way as to bring up and process the stuck emotions from the past.
