CONTACT FLOW
Release. Rebalance. Recover
The Contact Flow Concept
A body-based approach to restoring ease and natural movement.Humans are inherently social beings. Touch, presence, and shared experience are fundamental to how we regulate ourselves and how we feel in the world.Free flow of circulation, movement, and rhythm within the body supports a more harmonious experience of life.Sometimes, this natural flow becomes restricted, through stress, tension, habits, or emotional patterns. In those moments, contact with another person can help the system release, reorganize, and find its way back into balance.There are many practices that use touch and awareness to restore this flow. I am continuously exploring them and integrating my learnings into my own developing approach, which I call Contact Flow.
In essence:
Using CONTACT to bring the body back into FLOW.
About me
My name is Maximilian Schubert. I am a licensed physiotherapist and practitioner of various movement arts.Movement has always been an essential part of my life. Over the years, I explored and trained a wide range of practices such as martial arts, dance, and yoga, which gradually deepened my understanding of body mechanics, coordination, and embodied skill.Along this path, I also discovered my passion for massage and hands-on bodywork. Over the past 15 years, I have developed this interest through continuous practice and further training.These two fields, movement and bodywork, come together for me in disciplines such as contact improvisation and playfighting, where playful physical interaction is the central element. Drawing from these experiences, I am developing my own approach called Contact Flow.To fully dedicate myself to working with the body, I left my previous career as an engineer and trained as a physiotherapist. This step allowed me to deepen my anatomical knowledge and understanding of physiological processes and pathology, enabling me to work both therapeutically and preventively.I currently work as a physiotherapist in a practice and offer individualized bodywork sessions to private clients. I continue to refine my skills through ongoing learning and trainings, always deepening my understanding of the body and its capacity for movement and adaptation.
Offers
I offer single sessions for individually tailored bodywork as well as movement workshops for groups.
Bodywork
I combine physiotherapeutic touch with mindful awareness and movement principles.
In our sessions, I can support you with:• Releasing tension in muscles and connective tissue• Improving posture to reduce strain on the body• Guided awareness to sense what is happening inside• Gentle mobilization & movement cues to restore fluidity• Simple routines you can integrate into daily lifeAll of this happens in a calm, focused environment that allows your system to soften, listen and reorganize at its own pace.
Contact Flow Workshops
This workshop format is a fusion of contact improv elements and groundwork from playfighting, aiming for exploration the flow of movement with other participants.Contact Flow is about cultivating the quality of these exchanges with other people and experimenting with the interplay of different energies.In the first part of the workshop the group will be guided with exercises and games to create awareness and consensual touch to safely explore possibilities of interaction.In the second part we switch into free flow, where you can design your own movement encounters with other participants and discover your unique interplay in this moment.
Location
Sessions take place in a beautiful location in Falckensteinstraße 46 close to subway station Schlesisches Tor in Berlin.
