About:
The Refined Moves Approach
Physiotherapy Method
At Refined Moves, my approach to physiotherapy is active, evidence-based and centred around you. Research consistently shows that the most effective treatment is one where the patient plays an active role — so your care will always be collaborative, with your goals and needs at the centre.
Your appointments with me are one-on-one and fully focused on you. I provide a thorough assessment, clear explanation of what’s happening and why, and we work together to create a management plan that fits your needs.
My goal is to help you recover as quickly and effectively as possible, while giving you the knowledge and tools to stay well long-term. Treatment may include education, coaching, exercise and hands-on techniques, not passive machines or endless “adjustments,” but practical strategies that support lasting results.
Tai Chi/Qigong Techniques
Tai Chi and Qigong should be accessible to anyone who wants to learn, regardless of any form of impairment, I have the insight and knowhow to adapt techniques and forms to suit you and enable your safe and effective participation and practice.
Learn the original, time-tested Yang Style of Tai Chi devised by Yang Luchan and formalised by his grandson, Yang Cheng Fu. Various forms of Qigong and Tai Chi weapon forms are also in the repertoire for those with a deeper interest.
