Movement Works

Welcome to Movement Works, a unique establishment located at 15 McElwee Street in Napier, New Zealand. Are you experiencing pain, injury, or limited mobility that is slowing you down? Do you feel like you just don't move like you used to? At Movement Works, we understand the frustration that comes with these challenges, and we are here to help you move better and feel better.

Our approach combines movement and mindfulness to provide you with the tools and techniques to build your confidence, improve your mobility, and increase self-awareness. We believe in undoing movement habits that cause stress, pain, and tension, so that you can perform your everyday activities with ease and live the life you love.

No matter your situation, we offer a wide range of services to cater to your needs. Whether you prefer online classes, in-person sessions, or one-on-one assistance, we have options to suit you. We recognize that pain, injury, work, and age can all have an impact on how we move and feel, which is why we focus on helping you become more self-aware and break the cycle of pain, tension, and discomfort.

At Movement Works, we don't offer exercise in the traditional sense. Instead, we guide you towards easy, natural, and pain-free ways of performing everyday activities such as walking, turning, sitting, bending, lifting, and reaching. Our goal is to improve your overall movement regardless of your age or current stage of life, even if you've tried everything else.

We are proud to offer Awareness Through Movement® classes both in person and online, welcoming individuals of all levels. Additionally, our hands-on sessions and programs are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive personalized attention and guidance.

Our clients have experienced remarkable results and have shared their positive feedback. One client shared, "I find it fascinating to learn how the smallest of movements can have such an impact on the way my body works. I have benefited from the classes and recommend them to everyone." Another client expressed, "Feldenkrais has improved my daily life tremendously!"

Sarah, the expert behind Movement Works, acts as your personal movement detective. With years of experience assisting individuals like you, she delves into the reasons behind your tired and achy body or creaking joints. Sarah helps you understand how your body is designed to move and reveals the connection between your brain and effortless, pain-free, and amazing movement.

We understand that your story, body, and way of moving are unique, just like your fingerprints. Therefore, we do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we listen to your story, assess your movement, and help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your habits, and your movement patterns.

Through our guidance, you will activate your awareness and learn to listen to your body cues in a new way. You will improve your posture, balance, breathing, and much more. We will help you uncover any habits that cause discomfort or tension, enabling you to move with greater ease and comfort. Additionally, we will equip you with simple, practical tools and movement practices to prevent pain, re-injury, and take care of yourself.

Whether you seek to improve your everyday movement or alleviate shoulder, neck, or back pain, Sarah and the team at Movement Works are here to help. When your movement becomes easier, your life becomes easier too.
