Your Expert Physiotherapist is here to help you:

Perform Better
Recover Faster
Reduce Pain

Our holistic approach to physiotherapy starts with the belief that the anatomical make-up of our body was designed to have an optimal way of working. A way that is most:

Fluid
Balanced
Energy efficient


WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Most physiotherapists have no goal outside of working on the symptomati

c area. At JOIN THE MOVMT we understand that your symptom is the effect of an underlying imbalance in your body, often located elsewhere. Our whole-body approach enables us to identify and address such imbalances; restoring your movement potential to live your most efficient life. In other words, you won't just be feeling good on the treatment bed, as in traditional physiotherapy, but feeling your best doing the things you love!

Glute strengthening will always fail if your feet can't find rigidity.

1) Feet stuck flat don't allow the glutes to propel the body forwards efficiently.
2) Foot shape needed to enable the glutes to push you forwards.
3) Restore mechanics then add strength.

Enjoy :)

BUNIONS.

They are trying to help you not hinder you.

In this video, I break down why most current approaches fail to address the real cause of bunions and foot strain. We go through the movement mechanics of the body during the loading phase, how these mechanics influence bunion shape, and why excessive movement is often the result of missing or dysfunctional mechanics. Finally, I explain how restoring proper mechanics can reduce strain and improve overall movement efficiency.

Achilles Pain?!

Achilles pain isn’t always a strength or flexibility problem.
In many cases, the issue is how well the heel bone and ankle are moving during walking.

If the heel bone doesn’t tip properly and the back of the ankle doesn’t close during push-off, the Achilles tendon stays under constant tension. Over time, this can lead to pain, thickening, or irritation.

Instead of only focusing on stretching or strengthening, it may help to restore better mechanics:

Improve how the heel bone moves when the foot flattens
Allow the back of the ankle to close during push-off to unload the Achilles

When these movements improve, the Achilles often gets the break it needs to settle down.

Sore knee?! 😣👋

Your sore knee doesn’t need a rub—it needs help from the big glute muscles above.

Rubbing the knee won’t relieve it in the long term, but helping the pelvis rise on that side to get the glutes working properly will.

Exercise instructions:

1. Place a wedge under the insides of both feet. Take a medium-sized step forward and keep the back knee straight.

2. Bring your body weight forward onto the front leg. Send the hip out to the side so the pelvis rises on the front-leg side, then reach the opposite arm overhead.

3. Go for 5 reps.

Say hello to a happy, healthy knee 🤩

There’s no such thing as one good posture.

1. Common belief:
People think good posture means sitting tall, shoulders back, core tucked—but forcing this actually creates tension and can work against a natural upright position.

2. What matters instead:
Posture shouldn’t be held or forced. It should be relaxed and adaptable, with the body able to move freely through all ranges.

3. Takeaway:
Don’t try to “fix” posture by bracing. Focus on moving more and exploring different positions—your body will naturally find balance with less tension.

Hamstring again?! 😣👋

If your pelvis is always hiked on one side, the hamstring on that side will be under constant pull — which could be the reason for recurrence ❌

Strengthening the hamstring alone won’t solve the issue, but helping the pelvis drop will ✅

Exercise instructions:

1. Place a rolled-up sock under the inside of both big toe knuckles. Take a medium-sized step and straighten the back knee.
2. Bring the pelvis forward over the front foot, then encourage the hip out to the side to allow the pelvis to rise.
3. Reach the arm high overhead, then return to the starting position. Complete 5 reps.

Say hello to happy hamstrings 🤩

Stability is useless if you want to move well.

In this video, I challenge a common belief in fitness and rehab: that more stability automatically leads to better movement.

Using a real-world example of someone being advised to heavily focus on stabilizing their lower back and core, I break down a bigger idea:

👉 If you want to move well, chasing stability alone can actually limit you.

I cover three key points:

1) Movement vs rigidity: Your body works as a system. Walking, running, and even stepping require fluid motion—not stiffness.
2) Bones drive muscles: Muscles get stronger by responding to movement. If joints don’t move well, muscles can’t function properly.
3) Where stability fits: Stability has its place—like in gymnastics or extreme positions—but it’s not how most people need to move day-to-day.

Bottom line:
If your goal is to move better and feel better, focus on improving movement—not just holding everything still.

Stiff back?! 😩👋

Pelvic sideways motion allows the spine to side bend as you step forwards ✅

Without this it can’t, so you walk around stiff ❌

Stretching the surrounding muscles won’t solve the issue but helping the pelvis slide again will.

Exercise instructions:

1) Place some rolled up socks under the insides of both feet, take a medium sized step forward and straighten the back knee.
2) Bring weight forwards via the pelvis onto the front leg, send the hip out to the side as you reach the arm overhead.
3) Repeat 5 times.

Say hello to spinal freedom 🤩

Movement quality is about how well your joints work together to create efficient, well-coordinated movement and distribute stress properly across the body.

Strength training alone won’t fix movement issues because you’re often building on top of existing compensations and dysfunctional patterns.

To truly improve how you move, you need to focus on restoring joint function and whole-body coordination—not just getting stronger.
