Meet Riccardo Galeotti

Movement Specialist — helping you learn how your body moves so you can stay strong, mobile, and pain-free.

I’m Riccardo — founder of The Body Lab Canberra and creator of the Movement & Longevity Roadmap.

For nearly two decades, I’ve been helping people move beyond pain, stiffness, and frustration — not just by treating symptoms, but by retraining how the body moves, breathes, and connects.

Biomechanics nerd. Acupuncturist. Cranial therapist.

Movement educator. Strength coach.

Occasional foot whisperer.

If you’ve been told to “just stretch more,” “get stronger,” or “accept it’s ageing” — you’ve been given half the story.

My work fills in the missing piece: helping your body remember how to move well again.

My Approach: From Treatment to Transformation

At The Body Lab, it’s not about chasing pain. It’s about decoding movement.

We look at how every part of your body talks to the others — feet to pelvis, spine to breath, jaw to posture.

Together, we rebuild those connections so movement becomes effortless again.

You’ll experience hands-on therapy to restore motion, movement retraining to keep it, and education to make sense of it all. Because when you understand your body, you stop needing constant “fixes.”

This is personal movement training with purpose — the bridge between therapy and everyday life, focusing on movement-based rehabilitation to help you walk, move, and feel better for the long term.

Why I Don’t Just ‘Needle and Go’

I started as a Classical Chinese Acupuncturist, deeply immersed in the art of restoring internal balance.

But I soon realised: true balance also lives in how you move.

Pain patterns aren’t random — they’re mechanical stories written by your body’s habits. So I expanded my toolkit: biomechanics, gait analysis, cranial therapy, nerve pathways and releases, joint testing and mobilisation, and strength integration.

Now, I blend these worlds — East and West, internal and external — to help you change how your body works, not just how it feels.

Over the years, I’ve become just as passionate about learning how the body moves as I am about teaching others how to treat it. Through my Mastering Foot Mechanics and Advanced Foot & Limb Mechanics workshops, I help therapists understand joint motion, biomechanics, and the art of restoring functional movement — so they can create lasting change for their clients too.

My goal isn’t to keep you coming back. It’s to teach you how to stay better.

✅ Feel better

✅ Move better

✅ Stay better (and see me less — I’ll survive)

What to Expect in a Session

Every session is a conversation between your body and mine — we listen, we observe, we rebuild.

  • Here’s how:

  • Full-body movement, posture & gait assessment

  • Joint testing to find what’s stiff, stuck, or overworking

  • Hands-on therapy to reset the system

  • Targeted movement drills to lock in change

  • A clear plan — your Movement & Longevity Roadmap — guiding your progress between sessions

This isn’t guesswork. It’s clinical movement science with a human touch.
