About Mobility:

Dysfunctions in your body cause an ever-increasing risk of injury, pain and discomfort. The body's functional capacity to perform everyday movements diminishes over time. It creates the musculoskeletal weakness and imbalances common in many people that often remain unidentified. The root problem of the injuries is never addressed.

Lack of intervention and improper recovery only perpetuates pain.

However, the discomfort from dysfunctional movement patterns and incorrect posture is easily remedied. Mobility and stability issues can be addressed by screening to identify where weaknesses and imbalances lie in the body. Learning how to scan one's body will help alleviate symptoms. It will also help prevent future injuries and improve your quality of life by making everyday movements easier to perform.

Alexander's Mobility Workshops and sessions address the critical muscular issues responsible for pain and discomfort and help prevent symptoms and future injuries. Individualised sessions allow for a more in-depth evaluation and personalised corrective program. Group sessions are highly beneficial: expect to come out of these sessions with a deeper understanding of how your body is affected by imbalances and how to address these issues.

Sessions include flexibility, mobility, and inhibition work that'll leave you feeling relaxed and loosened up! This workshop will be held outdoor from 10 am to 6 pm and will be repeated over a week. You can book attendance for drop-in sessions from 7 to 12 June.
