We caught up with the founders of Born to Move, Owen Lewis and James Earls, to discover where the concept of Born to Move came from, and why their unique approach can help physical therapists enhance their understanding of the human body.What inspired you to start Born to Move?Owen:Both James and myself, had a sense of dissatisfaction with the current level of education offered.We wanted the ability to teach high quality, well-researched information, without being limited by any one dogma. We were also keen to create a syllabus that is adaptable to change and respond to relevant research.We both love to teach, and truly wanted an agile approach that enables us to share what we’ve learned from our own great teachers.James:Through encouraging efficiency through the client’s body we aim help them connect to their body in new ways and reduce pain levels.Born to Move rose from our combined vision of what a modern bodywork training should look like – through the combination of table-based, and functional techniques performed during movement we have tools to bring the client’s system to a higher level of function.What is your mission with Born to Move?Owen:At Born to Move, we want to ensure movement is an integral part of healthcare, and take a client centered approach into the clinic.Through our approach we disseminate, explain and explore information from various sources. This means we let the best research lead us to finding clinically relevant approaches.Our intention with all our courses is to stay current, dynamic and open to change.James:We want to inspire the next generation of therapists to be health advocates – able to understand and encourage new movement possibilities for clients in pain and to encourage everyone to explore healthy strategies for movement.
