Carl Reader has a BSc (Med)(Hons) degree in Biokinetics (Exercise Physiology). He was trained at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.
Carl has over 20 years of experience, helping people with chronic pain and joint conditions relieve pain and reduce symptoms by retraining their body’s natural and functional movements. He has a keen eye for movement and understanding of what good form and technique should look like. He is passionate about health and has a holistic approach to overall wellness.

Early on in my profession, I noticed many of the traditional strengthening exercises and stretching methods used in gym classes and rehabilitation were not working for many patients and clients especially those with back, knee and shoulder pain.

I then realized most of the exercises and stretches recommended although being scientific were not necessarily functional or natural movements the body was designed to do. For the past 2 decades, I have been researching, analyzing and discovering what exactly the body’s functional movements look like and how to master the techniques to do them correctly. Since then I have been sharing my insights and functional movements with my patients and clients and getting great results.
