Welcome to Movement & Massage Therapy with Roo.
Whether you are here for sports massage, yoga, pilates, or help with pain and physical injury, Roo is a highly experienced qualified soft tissue therapist, yoga and meditation teacher, and pilates instructor, with over 10 years of helping people of all abilities find joy and freedom through movement, relaxation, and breath work.
Learn to move better, breath deeper, and feel brighter.
How movement therapy works: Through flowing sequences and targeted exercises, you will learn how to retrain your body’s movement habits, recognise and reset suboptimal breathing patterns, and wake up your brain-body connection, giving you a safer, smarter, and more sustainable way of moving – for life!
Roo teaches a modern movement methodology that combines physiotherapy with ancient wisdom and strength of heart. Training under various physiotherapists and experts in their fields, Roo’s spirited teaching seamlessly blends physiology, neurology, and biomechanics with human feeling.
The result is a truly holistic and therapeutic movement practise that will make you both feel stronger and bring you balance, as you learn to move with grace and ease and feel the support and strength within yourself, both on and off the mat.

Designed with care, for those with injuries and with older populations in mind, with blocks and cushions offered throughout, both to give support and to make poses more accessible. A lovely introduction to yoga for anyone who wants to really slow down and savour.
