Matthew Brownell
Matthew Brownell L.C.S.P. (Full) graduated from the internationally renowned Northern Institute of Massage. The institute is committed to the continual upgrade and development of its study material and methods, providing a "continuous learning development program" for its graduates. Since achieving his qualification with the institute, Matthew has completed a variety of further courses of study relevant to his work including treating patients with diabetes, spinal dysfunction and how to treat it, sports injury treatment, reflexology and Bowen technique. Matthews' most recent studies have fast tracked him through the Upledger Institutes’ Craniosacral Therapy courses levels 1 and 2, in London.
Whilst treating patients for one particular condition Matthew uses his skills to assess the whole body system and energy.
Matthew's mother, Pauline Brownell, was responsible for the creation and teaching of the first holistic courses at South Trafford College. Pauline provided tuition for Matthew from a very early age creating a strong healing lineage for Matthew’s work.
Matthew studied in the field of martial arts (Wing Chun) under the tuition of a Chinese master Michael Tse and Yip Chun (Yip Man, Yip Chuns father taught Bruce Lee making Matthew Brownell the third descendent of the art.)
Matthew practiced this art for over 10 years before being asked to teach Wing Chun.
Matthew also studied Qi Gong (Qi meaning energy and Gong meaning exercise). It is this energy that Matthew may be working with in certain treatments and conditions.
Matthew's work has taken him all over the world, giving him a chance to see a myriad of people and conditions to build upon his knowledge and experience and then put it into practice.
Matthew introduced a course of complimentary treatments at a major NHS hospital treating the hospital staff doctors and nurses. His initial two week trial period was so successful with staff that it was extended for over 32 weeks and Matthew still returns periodically.
Matthew has applied his skills at various outlets and locations from the corporate world to health and fitness centres. One such corporate event was for a large chemical company based in Manchester. As a result of Matthew's work an 80% reduction in the staff's stress related conditions was achieved, helping reduce the company's sick leave. This work also assisted Matthew's Stress Solutions Clinic and the Manchester based company win a national award during Stress Awareness Week - an event which is held each year.
With over 14 years experience in his field Matthew has established his Stress Solutions Clinic in the heart of Manchester and Sale for easy access to people from all backgrounds, lifestyles and areas of the North West.
