Who We Help – Because Every Body Moves Differently
Whether your child is finding their feet, you’re chasing performance goals, or you’re managing something a little messier—The Body Lab meets you where you are.
Children (Coordination, Balance, Posture)
Building confident movers from the ground up.
We help kids improve coordination, posture, balance, and body awareness—so they can run, play, focus, and grow with confidence. Whether your child struggles with movement, tires quickly, or just seems a little “out of sync,” we look at how they walk, stand, and move—and build a plan that supports their whole development, not just surface symptoms.
We also work with children recovering from concussions or head knocks—especially when symptoms hang around longer than expected. Using a unique combination of cranial therapy and skeletal alignment , we help calm the nervous system, reduce sensory overwhelm, and restore healthy movement.
It’s subtle but powerful—and it’s a therapy you’ll only find here at The Body Lab. Standard rehab doesn’t touch this stuff.
Adults (Pain, Movement, Performance)
Move better, feel stronger, stay pain-free.
At The Body Lab, we don’t just patch you up—we fix the why behind the issue. From lingering back stiffness and knee pain that flares post-gym to that “something’s not right” feeling when you move, we find the root cause.
Using a mix of skeletal alignment (yes, from the feet up), manual techniques, and nervous system work, we help you move well, feel stable, and stay out of the pain spiral. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a workaholic with a cranky spine—we’ve got you covered.
Complex Cases (Chronic issues, Neurological patterns, Post-surgery)
We specialise in the stuff most clinics avoid:
Chronic pain with no clear cause.
Recurring issues that never fully resolve.
Neurological patterns that make movement unpredictable.
And post-surgical recovery where things feel almost right, but never quite are.
These are the long-haul conditions—the ones you’ve been told to “just manage.” But we don’t do “just managing.” We take the time to understand what your body’s doing, what it’s avoiding, and how to help it move forward.
This is deep-dive care—for people who’ve tried everything and still haven’t gotten the answers they need.
The First Session (a.k.a. The “Wait, No One’s Ever Looked at That Before” Assessment)
This isn’t your average 15-minute poke-and-prod. The first session is a comprehensive full-body check-up (about 60–90 mins). Here’s what happens:
Riccardo watches how you walk (gait analysis), where your feet carry pressure, how you stand, and which movements your body avoids like that one uncle at family barbecues.
He checks what’s misaligned, what’s stuck, and what isn’t pulling its weight.
Then you get a clear report and treatment plan that tells you what’s going on and what’s next—no guessing, no generic handouts.
The Treatment Plan Might Include:
Skeletal Alignement
Helping the body relearn proper movement patterns—one step (or toe lift) at a time.
Cranial Therapy
Gentle work with the head and nervous system to support deep change—especially great for kids or post-concussion clients.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on testing and unlocking to get your joints moving and absorbing pressure properly (key for stuff like neck, back, or hip pain).
Acupuncture
Used for calming the nervous system, regulating stress, and supporting internal recovery. Especially helpful for adults or teens (don’t worry, kids rarely get needled)
Why This Approach Works
You’re not after a quick fix—you want answers.
You’ve tried other therapies. You’ve stretched, strengthened, rolled, needled… and still feel stuck.
What you really want is someone to listen, look deeper, and lay out a plan that actually makes sense for your body.
We’ve got you..
