Letter from Marja

STUDIO

Valued Method Putkisto Client I trust you had a wonderful summer!

Summer is the time for recuperation – and Autumn for action.

A warm welcome back to classes and workshops and to the Studio open day on Tuesday, 24th September.

Change performance – the Method Putkisto slogan applies to everything in life! Change requires stability and knowledge for it to be successful.

At Method Putkisto Studio we have focused on stability and are refining the exercise combinations to bring you the best possible results.

Also, I am happy to announce that the NEW tailor-made, online booking system and the Method Putkisto SHOP are now open.

Lets make this term a good one!

I look forward to seeing you very soon.

Marja

Life is constantly changing yet still change requires stability. I am happy to say that the MP Studio is here to provide you with a stable (grounded) place where you can always return and connect with the latest knowledge which contains the essence for change.

Method Putkisto 20th Anniversary season

Why Method Putkisto?

It is now official: Stretching makes you younger!

I am a great fan of Newby Hands, Beauty Director, Harper’s Bazaar. She has made the most encouraging statement and recommendation for us all: “MP is one of the most sensible, effective and body changing (if not potentially life and health changing) methods of exercises I have tried”.

FACT: We lose a great percentage (up to 4%) of our agility each year. Flexibility is the key secret to maintaining our agility and balance.

FACT: In order to maintain a healthy condition of the joints, the body needs to be stretched beyond its normal use.

Method Putkisto has proven to be one of the most effective techniques to improve the shape of the body.

We promote Method Putkisto as a valuable investment towards your health and wellbeing. All our classes and workshops are focused on building the support for your body, the foundation for all of your movements and wellbeing for your life.

How do we work?

Only when we are able to use our inner resources and creativity will we achieve optimum results.

It is true; our physical potential is in our mind. The mind affects our body and that is why images have a powerful impact on us. I encourage you to work towards your true potential instead of focusing on your limitations or problems.

Method Putkisto is a method of teaching/learning and awareness. As an adult we no longer learn by copying. Neither knowledge nor visual images by themselves are enough. You need to “feel it”: visualize, focus, feel and recognize the positions of your body and sense its feedback signals.

Only after receiving these signals can you make relevant decisions over your body while exercising.

Simple but ever so effective. It is only then when the theory comes alive that the technical knowledge becomes reality.

Method Putkisto and Science Professor Esko Mälkiä

Professor Esko Mälkiä is one of the most experienced scientists in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. His life’s work has been focused on stretching and the ability to control the human motor skills. He follows the most important research around the world on a regular basis.

Why MP works?

The Professor confirms that all of the MP foundation elements follow known scientific facts of biomechanics and physiology. “Marja has done enormous work to be able to teach the complex structure and movement of the body to each individual in a way that it is easy to comprehend and is practical.”

Professor Mälkiä says: “Although there is a lot of knowledge offered to us, back problems are still increasing. We need research to identify and confirm the components (or their combinations) which effect the results. Present science is limited in measuring the functional human movement. Science, however, can help to interpret the physiological components to explain why MP works so well. Marja’s steady and tireless work ‘on her own body’ proves how change through real life experience offers science a challenge and this is why the work Method Putkisto instructors perform is invaluable.”

With the input of Professor Mälkiä, Method Putkisto has been further refined and reviewed in relation to present scientific research. Today MP fully utilizes what science can offer it.

Professor Esko Mälkiä is a regular practitioner of Method Putkisto.

How often do I need to practice? by Professor Mälkiä EXERCISE PLAN FOR METHOD PUTKISTO Once a week – slows down the deterioration of loss of agility and balance.

Twice a week – you begin to improve.

Three times a week – boundaries can be pushed as far as you dare!

“What you put in – you will get out”
