Movement Therapy Dallas - Dallas, Texas

This afternoon I got to experience my first lymphatic massage treatment with the amazing Jenny Kell Verdooren of Movement Therapy Dallas.

Last week I was hit last week with some seasonal sickness/congestion, hallmarked by an awful sore throat and a LOT of swelling on one side of my neck toward the ear. Jenny helped me with some massage techniques I could do at home to clear the inflammation and congestion, and booked me in for an in person session once I was feeling better/not contagious.

She did a combination of traditional manual lymphatic drainage as well as Lymphatic Enhancement Technology, both of which provide pain relief, accelerate local healing, and improve immune function. In other words, just the boost I needed to get back to 100%. Also, Jen’s space is so inviting and calming, I left feeling so relaxed and amazing!

I also learned so much about my lymphatic system today from Jenny, and how poor lymphatic flow can correlate to many illnesses, conditions, pain, etc. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, if you think you might benefit from some support in this area, do not hesitate to book!

Jenny is amazing! I started attending her gentle yoga class last year and she has helped me so much. First, she designs her classes to be fresh and different each time. She also takes the time to really get to know her students and their trouble spots, and always provides multiple modifications to make sure everyone gets the most out of each pose while still being safe. I can’t recommend her enough!

I came to Jenny after hearing of her calm, grounding yoga teaching, as well as her additional skills as an Occupational Therapist, with an emphasis on head and spinal injuries. Having had a traumatic brain injury, this insight appealed to me a great deal. From the very beginning, I not only felt safe and comfortable with her, I knew that she greatly understood my struggles. I began private one-on-ones as I needed to develop a sense of ease with a new teacher, a new studio, and a neglected yoga practice.

I have come to her on a few occasions when I was having serious flare-ups of various symptoms, and Jenny has always been able to respond with practices that actually help. Most recently, I was experiencing severe vertigo and Jenny not only knew what to do, it worked! She used a vestibular realignment movement that required me to fall back with her there to catch me. I said, “You caught me when I fell!”

And Jenny has done exactly that! With great intuition, care, curiosity and expertise, Jenny has lessened my anxiety and depression. Jenny has brought ease into my balance and movement. Jenny has returned me to a long-neglected yoga practice (even attending her gently supportive classes on a couple of occasions!). Jenny is a deeply talented teacher, and a very kind-hearted person. I recommend her highly.

Jenny brings her enthusiasm for yoga, her compassion and care to assist every student to do their best, even when injured. With a background in occupational therapy, she can help you modify any pose to fit Your body and where you are. She makes trying more complex poses fun, encouraging you and laughing with you if you "fall" out of the pose (and I have many times in doing Crow!) Whether you're a beginner or not, she can lead you into Your yoga practice.

I started Yoga as a way to alleviate pain in my legs. Jenny is such a kind lady. This was my first experience with yoga, and not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised at the end of the class. I am not a class person, but I have and will be attending multiple sessions with her. I can highly recommend her classes if you would like a great experience!

Starting gentle yoga 4 years ago with Jenny Kell has been the best thing I’ve could have ever done for myself. My initial reason for trying yoga was to improve my balance. Not only has that improved, but through her teaching and guidance, I have learned so much more about my body & soul. Her compassion and dedication to helping others is her passion. Classes are small and intimate! Come join us and give it a try — you won’t regret it!!

Jenny not only works to find yoga that works for you, she does it with kindness and intuition and a dash of humor.  She incorporates her physical therapy background into her yoga practise finding ways to keep you flexible without pain.  In the past year she has helped my husband improve his balance and flexibility and kept him moving in the initial stage of Parkinson's.  She's our go to for healthy workouts. --Karen & Bill

After numerous recommendations to pursue yoga and back surgery I finally decided to try yoga. I'm a male, senior, hardly the Lululemon, slender, athletic young woman I envisioned in the classes. I Googled, "yoga near me" and low and behold Movement Therapy was literally right around the corner! So, I sucked it up and went, what a treat, a small class of similarly aged students to me! The instructor Jenny Kell, is terrific, she's an occupational therapist by trade, yoga teacher because she loves it. She takes time to care and help each student individually, if that student lacks the flexibility, Jenny invents a modified pose to get the same stretch. Yes, after several months, I'm more flexible, my balance is greatly improved and my low back pain much better.
