About
How it all started
Hello, I’m Alex Moore, founder of Movement Therapy Dorset.
With over 13 years in health & fitness, I began working as a Sports Massage Therapist & Pilates instructor in gym & health clubs. Noticing the limitations in classes in these settings, mainly the large number of people per class (10-40 people each class), I opted to create my own private classes with a unique approach. I established my own private Pilates classes, intentionally keeping numbers low (maximum 8 per class) and integrating Pilates with my other skills, allowed me to personalise sessions and give each member individual attention. Within 2 years I had built up 20 fully booked classes, whilst continuing to work as a Sports Massage Therapist & Sports Therapist.
Progressing on
This prompted me to pursue a 4-year comprehensive diploma in Movement Therapy. The acquired skills allowed me to carry out clinical, functional and movement based assessments, providing deeper insights into the underlying causes of an issue. This enabled a more targeted and effective approach in addressing concerns, going beyond traditional methods of solely focussing on painful areas or delivering standard Pilates exercises.
While continuing to assist clients with remedial goals, such as addressing back pain, I experienced a growing demand for individuals seeking performance improvement, notably from Dancers and Golfers.
