How Movement Therapy Dorset started: Pilates & Sports Massage in Poole
Hello, I’m Alex Moore, founder of Movement Therapy Dorset. With over 13 years in health and fitness, starting as a Sports Massage Therapist and Pilates Instructor in gyms and health clubs. Quickly, I saw the limitations of large Pilates classes and standard Sports Massage treatments. For example, large classes (10-40 people) often lacked personal attention. Consequently, I developed my own approach. Combining biomechanics screening with advanced techniques to deliver higher-standard Pilates and more effective Sports Massage treatments.
In addition, I created small group Pilates classes in Dorset with a maximum of 8 participants. As a result, this allowed for tailored instruction and personal attention. Within two years, I built 20 fully-booked Pilates classes and 10 fully-booked Sports Massage slots.
Advanced Education: Beyond Standard Pilates & Sports Massage
To further my knowledge, I pursued a four-year diploma in Movement Therapy to enhance my skills. Consequently, this allowed me to perform functional and movement-based assessments. These assessments provided deeper insight into clients’ needs, focussing on the root causes of pain rather than just the symptoms. By combining Sports Massage and Pilates, I can offer a more effective approach. This experience enabled me to work with professional dancers and golfers. Moreover, I helped clients seeking performance improvement or pain relief.
