About 

From a young age I have been active in sports with a passion for Martial Arts and movement.  Early on I was diagnosed with a condition called Scoliosis which is an abnormal curvature of the spine.  This caused me pain in my upper and lower back  and inhibited my enjoyment and performance of my activities.  My parents took me to various therapists but to no avail.  The pain persisted and I just didn't feel right in my body.  I realised I had significant muscle imbalances which were causing the pain and eventually led to me suffering a severe knee injury while playing football. 

​

This was a defining moment in my life.  The pain in my knee was excruciating and it stopped me from playing team sports ever again. My body was broken and I felt there was no one who could really help me, so I decided to take my health into my own hands.  The injury eventually became my greatest teacher as I came to truly understand my body and how it moves.

​

My experiences and years of study in western and eastern healing arts practices, have given me insights into the debilitating effects of pain which I believe have helped me become the practitioner I am today.  

​

​Now, after well over a decade, I’ve helped people improve the way they move, recover from numerous types of injuries, build strength and reconnect with their bodies in a way many never thought possible.

 

Moveology came from a deep curiosity about why we move the way we do — and why sometimes our bodies stop working the way we want them to.

​

Pain, stiffness, weakness and restricted movement are often treated as isolated problems. The Moveology way is the understanding that we are one interconnected, multi-dimensional being and that everything we do, feel and think affects us at every level.​

My background

​​

My professional study background and qualifications include a Diploma in Sports Kinesiology, Cert. III & IV in Fitness (Personal Training), Diploma in Chinese Martial Arts, Rehab Master Trainer, Stretch Therapist, Circular Strength Training Coach, along with extensive study and practice in Tai Chi Quan, Universal Healing Tao Internal Alchemy Qigong, Circular Strength Training (C.S.T.) and Russian Systema.

​​

These different disciplines and life experience have given me a broad perspective on the human body and importantly, on the individual person connected to it.​​

​​

​A personal approach

​

One of the things I value most about my work is the relationships I develop with my members.

​

The health & fitness journey can be arduous and full of stumbling blocks. You want to feel better about your body and so you seek help from various therapists and practitioners, but along the way you hear a lot of contradictory advice that intuitively doesn't seem right and doesn't work for you.

 

So you stumble along and never quite get to the root of the problem of why you can't seem to make the progress you would wish for. 

 

At Moveology we work together to help you learn to navigate and overcome the challenges you face.

Why Moveology?

​

This is not about finding someone to "fix" you. Moveology is about understanding who you are and how your body works. The aim is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to keep yourself fit, healthy and feeling great for the rest of your life.

​

If you're ready to move better, feel stronger and get back to doing the things that matter to you, I'd love to help.

 

James,

Founder of Moveology
