Anatomy in Motion &
The Ixchel System
The Ixchel System is inspired by one of Victoria's teachers, Gary Ward, founder of the Anatomy in Motion (AIM) model.
After training with Gary, Victoria began using his 'flow motion model' – part of the AIM model – with her clients and achieved astounding results.
AIM helps people to get in touch with how their body is moving and where restrictions in movement keep them continuously recreating old pain patterns.
Starting with Gait Analysis, we help you remind your body about what's possible – but has been forgotten.
Core Elements of AIM & The Ixchel System
MOBILITY
Move your body the way you want to. We look at how to increase your range of movement and enable your body to do everything you want it to without injuring or overstraining yourself.
RELAXATION
We focus on mindful movement with full awareness of sensations, and somatic feelings. Your central nervous system and senses will come together to calm the mind and body.
STRETCHING
Stretching is a vital part of restoring, relaxing and strengthening muscles after working on them. Different stretching techniques are used depending on the stage of your treatment.
STRENGTHENING
To avoid injury and pain, we want to get your joints and muscles as strong as possible. You will be taught exactly which exercises are necessary for your particular injury or pain condition).
THE FLOW MOTION MODEL: CORRECTIVE MOVEMENT
Using the Flow Motion Model we teach you to integrate the correct Gait Postures back into your brain and body connection.
We look at how your Centre of Mass impacts your different joints in different plains of movement. We teach you to move your body differently to change your biomechanics in a way that will potentially ease pressure and relieve pain – sometimes with almost immediate effect.
PREHAB IS THE WAY TO AVOID REHAB
Prehab exercises build strength and stability around your most vulnerable areas, decreasing the potential for injuries.
All athletes should include a personalised prehab program in their training to avoid future pain and injury – but prehab also helps correct problems caused by many factors other than the gym, track or playing field.
Anyone who spends most of their working life hunched over staring at a screen can end up with shoulder pain, while those who work manually repeating the same movements over and over daily could suffer from RSI.
After a full, 1-hour orthopaedic assessment looking at your posture, muscles, and motion, we'll tailor an exercise programme to suit you using a number of the techniques below.

The Ixchel System
I was just looking for some pain relief for my carpel tunnel but I got
so much more. As well as hands-on treatment, I have learnt a daily
practise to help me with stress, good posture, how to prevent the
pain in the first place, and a knowledge of my body that I had never
come across before which gave me many´aha!' moments.Ruth T.

The Ixchel System
The Ixchel system has already helped me massively and to be able to take my therapy clients through the system and help them make significant improvements to their lives is such a gift. It helped me and I gained more awareness of my body and I want other people to benefit from it.

The Ixchel System
I just have to tell you what a game changer that exercise was for my ribcage. It has translated throughout all aspects of my life. I realised I was never breathing properly!! Now I am breathing up instead of out and the stiffness and rigidity of my chest has just gone away.
