Mission

The Body Lab Education empowers therapists with a clear, practical approach to functional biomechanics—helping you understand how the body moves within walking gait and equipping you to identify and correct missing movements. Our workshops provide hands-on, immediately applicable techniques, offering a systematic framework for analysing joint articulation and whole-body mechanics. This movement-centered, proactive approach to client care empowers therapists to create lasting change.

We’re building a new generation of practitioners who guide clients to take charge of their health, fostering resilience and long-term well-being through improved movement rather than passive treatments. Join us to experience and share the transformative impact of movement from day one.

Riccardo - Founder of The Body Lab

Riccardo Galeotti founded The Body Lab out of a profound desire to address the gaps he experienced firsthand in both his education and clinical practice. Early in his career, Riccardo realized that traditional approaches to treating pain and dysfunction were often surface-level, addressing only the symptoms rather than the root cause of movement issues. This approach left many clients with only temporary relief and little understanding of how to prevent recurring problems. For Riccardo, the missing link was clear: the real mechanics of how the body articulates during movement, particularly walking, were often overlooked in conventional therapies.

Driven by his belief that movement is medicine, Riccardo developed a framework that focuses on teaching both therapists and clients to unlock their full potential by understanding how bones, joints, and muscles work together in the gait cycle. This innovative approach, known as clinical functional biomechanics, empowers people to correct imbalances and prevent future pain, moving beyond the treatment table to take control of their long-term health.

The frustration Riccardo felt during his early education—where gait analysis was limited to abstract concepts like forces and vectors—inspired him to create a more practical and client-centered approach. His mission is not just about personal growth but about equipping clinicians with the tools and knowledge to apply biomechanics in real-world practice. By studying under experts like Gary Ward, creator of Anatomy in Motion (AiM), and Dr. Paul Conneely, Riccardo has honed a comprehensive system that blends acupuncture, cranial-sacral therapy, movement therapy, and strength & conditioning. Through The Body Lab, Riccardo is committed to teaching therapists to analyze and correct movement patterns at their root, using real-world applications that go beyond temporary fixes.

A Commitment to Learning a New Approach

Riccardo understands that embracing a new framework, like clinical functional biomechanics, requires time, dedication, and ongoing support. That’s why he has designed his workshops to ensure that therapists receive a complete learning experience, with resources available before, during, and after the workshops to maximize their potential.

Practical, Hands-On Learning During In-Person Sessions

In the workshop, the focus shifts to real-time, hands-on learning. Riccardo personally guides therapists through gait analysis, movement assessments, and corrective techniques, helping them understand how to assess, treat, and empower their clients using the concepts of bone articulation and foot dynamics. The goal is simple: for each participant to leave with the confidence and skills to immediately implement what they’ve learned in their own practice, transforming the way they approach movement therapy.

Post-Workshop Group Support and 1:1 Mentorship

Riccardo is fully committed to providing ongoing support for therapists as they integrate these new techniques into their clinical work. After each workshop, participants have access to group support sessions, where they can continue to ask questions, troubleshoot cases, and share insights with their peers. This collaborative environment solidifies the learning and fosters a community of therapists dedicated to improving their practices.

For those who prefer more individualised guidance, Riccardo offers 1:1 post-workshop sessions, allowing therapists to work directly with him on specific cases or challenges they face in their clinics. This personalized mentorship ensures that each participant has the support they need to fully embrace and apply the clinical functional biomechanics framework in their day-to-day work.

A Commitment to Long-Term Learning and Growth

Riccardo’s workshops aren’t designed to provide quick fixes—they are built on the understanding that transformational learning takes time, commitment, and continued practice. The combination of pre-workshop learning, hands-on in-person sessions, and ongoing support is a holistic approach that not only maximises the value of the workshop itself but also ensures that participants can retain and apply their newfound skills long after the event has ended.

Through this comprehensive structure, Riccardo is helping therapists become not just better practitioners, but leaders in their field, equipped with the knowledge and confidence to revolutionise their approach to movement therapy and pain management.

In Riccardo’s own words,

The Body Lab is more than just a place to learn new techniques—it’s a space where therapists can fully transform the way they treat clients, creating lasting change in their practices and ultimately, delivering better outcomes for the people they serve.
