Movement & Rehabilitation Specialist.
Advanced Neuromuscular Therapist & Pilates Medical Exercise Specialist.
Biotensegrity, Fascia Anatomy & Physiology Global Presenter
Medical Exercise Specialist in Chronic Pain & Rehabilitation Training
My role as a Neuromuscular Therapist & Founder of The Body PT.Ed to keep abreast of our ever-evolving field within the healthcare & fitness industry, understand the research and then translate it so I can educate my clients & students to ultimately move more efficiently, understand the impact of their exercise choices and how to alter their lifestyles to ensure longevity of the body and its systems.
The world of anatomy & physiology is going through a paradigm shift , so it’s vitally important to ensure that our knowledge in this area is current and up to date.
The role of Trainer and Movement specialist is one of great pride, I am privileged to have daily opportunities to influence the lives of so many people, so with this opportunity comes responsibility on my part to maintain the very highest levels of integrity & knowledge about this subject matter.
When I teach, you get an insight into why we’re moving away from the traditional Biomechanical approach and increasingly move to the more modern understanding of anatomy which is reflected in the Biotensegrity & Fascial model.
It’s through these new concepts we’ll be able to apply better strategies to our training & pre/rehabilitation methods whether that be for general populations or athletic performance.
