I've had so much therapy, but nothing has worked. I’m still in pain & think I'm unfixable

Hi, I’m Riccardo Galeotti and I'm a Movement Therapist and Acupuncturist with a keen focus to get people moving and feeling better. I use functional biomechanics and Chinese Medicine to work with you to reprogramme your brain to move differently, in a solution-focussed, movement therapy approach.  I’ve helped more than 1200 people in person and all over the world, from ages 10 to 90.

Are you ready to change? I can help you too. 

I specialise in working with people in pain and mobility issues - particularly complex pain disorders arising from multiple areas of pain or injuries. It is an area where I have lots of personal and client experience, and I've developed a therapeutic approach that is incredibly effective. Most clients learn how to fix themselves and need no more than 3-5 sessions to be able to get on with their lives without needing ongoing therapy.

Chronic pain affects 3.4 million Australians, 68% of people living with chronic pain are of working age, 40 % of early retirement is due to chronic pain issues. It is said the in the Australia 1 in 6 people have a back problem and about 4 out of 5 people have low back pain at some time in their lives. 1 in 5 Australians over the age of 45 have knee osteoarthritis. And let’s not forget neck pain which is a leading cause of disability in adults, reported in up to 20% of adults. So basically we are all going to have some time of pain and mobility issues as we get older. Let's change the way we think about pain and mobility to acknowledge that it's NOT normal to have pain. Maybe what we should be able to say is: “what do I have to do to not get pain!, is there a way to help reduce or eliminate pain?"

I experienced a range of different types of pain and mobility issues over the years. The most traumatic and career stopper was a knee reconstruction in my late teens.....completely stopped my athletic career in football in one swoop.  This changed my whole life, without realising it. I did not recover from this injury until my late thirties until I discover functional biomechanics.  In 2012 I attended my first course in functional biomechanics and continue to learn and teach how joints and muscles interact to affect how some walks and moves. From that moment my life changed. 

I am not the right therapist for you because I understand what you've been through. I am the right therapist for you because I understand what it takes to live with pain and mobility issues, and I understand what it feels like to overcome it and be free and move better. 

Through my personal experiences of overcoming pain and mobility issues, and my studies in functional biomechanics and Chinese Medicine, I have developed a unique and powerful approach for resolving pain and restore your mobility. This approach requires you to understand how you walk and move to understand which part is missing and get ALL of you to move efficiently. It works exactly the same way when delivered online as in person, so it doesn't matter where in the world you are based, I can help you. 

I’m looking forward to supporting you on your journey, whether it’s via sessions with me or my online, self-paced courses.
