If your birth year starts with a 19, wrap your presents on a table and not the floor 😅

This might mean you need to book your next session with Movewell too 😉

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa! ✨🌍

Today we celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and stories that make our nation unique. Just like movement brings people together, so does the beauty of our diverse heritage.

At Movewell, we’re grateful to walk this journey with you — helping you move stronger, live healthier, and celebrate life to the fullest.

Here’s to honouring the past, embracing the present, and moving confidently into the future. 🇿🇦

👉 Prioritize daily movement.

Consistent, moderate exercise — like walking, strength training, or mobility work — is one of the most powerful tools for living a longer, healthier life. It supports heart health, preserves muscle mass, reduces inflammation, improves brain function, and helps prevent chronic disease.

Longevity isn’t about doing everything perfectly — it’s about showing up for your body every day.
Move with intention, even in small ways, and you’re already investing in a longer, better life. 💪

Wishing you all a blessed weekend! ♡

📢 Mobility Monday: Move Better, Feel Better! 💪

Mobility isn’t just about flexibility—it’s about moving freely, reducing stiffness, and preventing injuries so you can perform at your best! Whether you're recovering from an injury or just want to improve movement quality, mobility work is essential.

🔹 Try these simple mobility tips today:
✅ Start with Dynamic Movements – Controlled leg swings, arm circles, and hip openers help prepare your body for movement.
✅ Prioritize Joint Health – Focus on ankle, hip, and thoracic spine mobility for better overall movement.
✅ Breathe & Relax – Deep, controlled breathing helps release tension and improves range of motion.
✅ Consistency is Key – Just 5-10 minutes daily can make a huge difference in flexibility and injury prevention!

Need guidance? Our team at Movewell is here to help! Book a session and take the first step toward better movement and pain-free living.

We had a belated but festive celebration of one of our Master Athlete's amazing achievements last night! Congratulations, Richard on placing third in the African Masters Athletics Track and Field Champs for the 200m!

For most 40+ year olds, just sprinting without tearing a hammy is a major feat! Achieving the KZN Masters Medal Standard time in your first ever 200m on the track is phenomenal!

"I wouldn’t term it a “superb” result, but for me I was very chuffed as a novice with a less than ideal build up to get to the start line. My next challenge will be to see if I can improve by 0.38 seconds and achieve the South African Masteres Athletics Medal Standard time for my age category of 32.0 seconds. While there were five entrants in the 100m, the fourth entrant in the 200m scratched from the race. Thus, in the end, with only three running, I was guaranteed a bronze medal in the 200m (65-69 years old race) just for having the courage to turn up and give it a go! Survivorship bias! Still, as an older novice and given all the injuries, I was still really pleased with my race on the day. A big thank you again to Coach Chris White, Sports Physio Garth Oliver, and Biokineticist Nicky Oliver for helping me do this."

Well done, Richard!

Running with people makes us happy!

Achilles tendonopathy can be a pain in the foot.
We apply a multi faceted approach...
Identifying the driver of the issue, addressing that issue and then a combination of soft tissue shockwave therapy plus heavy strength rehab to improve tendon loading capacity.

Keep your tendons strong and resilient to be able to handle the loads of running! 🏃‍♂️
