Using our most basic function - movement
Maintaining posture is a dynamic process which relies on finely calibrating movement. Chris leads individuals through activities that recreate each individuals ability to engage in this dynamic process.
The solution to musculoskeletal pain must be available many times a day and it must be simple.
Much more than a pill for an ill
Good posture means more than throwing your shoulders back to sit or stand ‘straight’. Posture is related to movement. We need many possibilities to maximize effortless movement. Posture and pain cannot be remedied by merely substituting a better posture for an existing one.
This approach takes time but the results are lasting.
Linking habits to action for lasting change
Lasting change is a complex problem that needs a simple solution. I link knowledge and experience of a persons habits to every day activity.

Beginning with babies
Chris is passionate about providing parents with the skills to provide opportunities for their babies to develop their essential movement sequences.
Often parents are advised to wait and see with issues with baby movement and posture however it is possible to identify an infant's lack of response to movement soon after birth.
Chris offers the tools to help you assess and change your baby's ability.
The ability to move is crucial to our development. Even minor delay can create issues into school years and on into adulthood. Posture, movement ability and the experience of pain as adults is a result by our movement experiences as babies and toddlers. Early detection and intervention is an effective way to intervene.
Chris will assist you determine your baby’s developmental issues, as well as provide effective treatments to stimulate the child’s movement patterns through gentle touch.
Chris enjoys working with adults however decades of entrenched poor movement habit and pain often begin from our first months of movement exploration.
