BIO MOVEMENT was created to encourage people to move better, following the theory behind Biokinetics and the understanding of the London professional world, the company adopts the mentality that any movement is better than nothing.

“Bio Movement was integral to getting my father back on his feet after his stroke.”

“I suffer from stage 6 MS the result being that I now can only walk a very limited distance aided by a crutch. I have always been a doubter when it came to any form of physiotherapy as I never seemed to progress or feel any improvement.
As my sister who is also my carer wanted to try Pilates I searched the internet and found Gabriella who not only was a fully qualified Pilates instructor but a biokineticist who specialised in the treatment of MS sufferers as well as other neuro disorders. I have been treated by her since October 2023 and can honestly state that her patience, skill, knowledge and understanding have improved not only my strength and balance but my overall confidence in day-to-day life. I am very lucky to have found her and have no hesitation in giving this review”
