PoisePoint Education offers workshops and training in its signature, propietary method of ReTensioning^®.

ReTensioning® is the culmination of over 40 years of observation, experimentation and training in movement arts, manual therapy and neurological retraining techniques by John Macy, P.T.

John has been involved in training in multiple sports, yoga, martial arts, dance, and Pilates since the 1970’s. In 1980, he began training and then teaching the Alexander Technique, a very western, rational approach to learning poise and ease in movement. He trained as a Physical Therapist to gain an understanding of the anatomical, physiological and neurological mechanisms of human movement and graduated in 1984. He has followed this with numerous trainings in a variety of manual and neurological treatment methodologies and philosophies.

Once practicing as a Physical Therapist, John worked in a broad variety of settings across the country to learn the many ways human movement can be affected - by mechanical injury, neurological damage, disease processes and maladaptive movement patterns – and how to help diminish or reverse those effects.

In 2005, John settled into his own full time practice, Great Plains Pilates & Physical Therapy, in Omaha, Nebraska, drawing on his broad experiences to help clients with long standing pain and movement dysfunction that had not been resolved by standard medical care.

ReTensioning® was born out of this integration when John began to look at the commonalities of the techniques that were most consistently effective and the anatomy and neurology underlying those techniques. Over the past ten years he has been developing and refining ReTensioning® techniques in order to find the most effective way to understand and apply them. Now John feels the information is clear enough that he can teach other practitioners how to use this powerful approach to help themselves and their clients.
