Research shows that our pain and musculoskeletal problems are reflected in the way we move. The Key Moves® exercise programme addresses this by retraining your body to move naturally and freely and stop the detrimental habits that have contributed to your current pain. You will learn to move from the ‘deep’ postural muscle system and help re-establish important ‘key’ patterns of movement in the spine, pelvis and shoulders. These are necessary for a healthy and robust musculoskeletal system.
If you experience back pain, niggling injuries, or feel chronically stiff and tight, then chances are, the way you move is part of the problem. Our classes offer:
- A programme of exercises that rebuild important patterns of movement control
- Are safe for the spine and help promote general musculoskeletal fitness and well-being
- Are gentle, yet challenging, requiring a combination of breath work and targeted movement patterns
- Promote an awareness of the mind-body connections
- In a supervised small group learning environment
- The Key Moves® therapeutic exercise programme was developed by Josephine Key and her colleagues who ensure it evolves in line with current evidence-based research.
Who can benefit?
People of all ages and levels of fitness can benefit from Key Moves since our modern lives do not provide us with the variety of movement patterns we need to live without discomfort.
What can I expect?
Our one-hour classes are floor based with use of equipment to facilitate exercises. Our classes are conducted barefoot and we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. They will challenge your brain and your body!
What’s different about Key Moves®?
Key Moves® goes beyond the usual core strengthening and stretching classes. It ‘gets inside your head’ to re-programme your movement patterns to allow optimal functioning. It’s a workout for your brain more than your brawn!
How do I attend?
Classes are attended on the recommendation of your treating physiotherapist. Anyone wishing to attend who is not a current client of Edgecliff Physiotherapy must first be assessed by one of our physiotherapists.
