Movement training for body & mind
The Art of Movement is a movement & exercise studio offering personal training with a difference. Each session is tailored to you as an individual. My aim is to reduce chronic pain and create a feeling of freedom and ease so you can live life to the fullest. Above all exercise should be about having fun and feeling good and not punishing yourself!
“It feels so good, it’s like a massage!”
“I feel several inches taller”
“My back pain has gone and my hips are freer”
Sessions are tailored to your needs with a combination of exercises using specialised equipment, floor exercises and homework. Whether you are living with chronic pain, finding age is restricting your activities, or an athlete looking for improved performance, we aim to help you reduce pain, avoid injury and reach your physical goals.
The studio welcomes all ages, sizes, levels of ability, genders and ethnicities. We have wheelchair access (please see note at bottom of page)
