Clients of all ages and abilities come to Body Rhythm after an injury, an accident, surgery, or years of habits that have left them in pain or stiff.
The Body Rhythm Approach
The body does not function in isolated parts. Movement, physical structure, the nervous system, and our responses to pain and restriction are interconnected.
At Body Rhythm, the focus is not simply on addressing symptoms, but on understanding how these relationships influence movement, function, and well-being.
Developed through years of hands-on experience, the approach integrates individualized movement, hands-on techniques, nervous-system-informed practices, and education.
The goal is not only to create change, but to help people recognize it, integrate it, and maintain it.
Simple, practical tools can be self-administered when needed—without turning recovery into another demanding daily routine.
Explore movement, function, restrictions, and your individual goals.
Connect hands-on work, individualized movement, and awareness to support meaningful change.
Learn simple tools that you can use independently, as needed, to support continued progress.

MPS (Dolphin) Therapy
MPS therapy applies gentle microcurrent impulses to acupuncture and trigger points to relieve chronic and acute soft-tissue pain and to treat all types of scars, in an all-natural, drug-free way.
It combines the principles of acupuncture with modern neurological science for a holistic approach to body and mind, including vagus nerve stimulation to help the nervous system settle.

Client stories
I have been dancing, teaching and taking movement classes all my long life. I feel so blessed to have found Shevi. She is one of the best teachers I have ever met.
I have many times referred to Shevi as my angel. I was diagnosed with age-related neuropathy and at the same time began to experience pain in my right hip.
I’ve gained a dramatic change in posture, I have no more shoulder pain, and my shoulder is feeling as flexible and strong as ever!
Questions
GYROTONIC® is a movement method done on specially designed equipment that stretches and strengthens the body at the same time. The movements are circular and flowing, like swimming or dance, and work every joint through its full range of motion.
Pilates and yoga mostly move in straight lines and held positions. GYROTONIC® moves the spine and joints in spirals and arcs, which is closer to how the body moves in real life. It builds strength and flexibility together, with less strain on the joints.
No. Every program starts from where you are today. Many clients come in with pain, stiffness or a recent injury, and the work is adjusted to your body session by session.
MPS (Microcurrent Point Stimulation) uses a small handheld device to send gentle microcurrent impulses to acupuncture and trigger points. It is drug-free and non-invasive. Most people feel a light tapping or tingling sensation.
