Everyone moves. Some of us go further.
Strength and recovery for Barry, Cardiff and Penarth — coached by someone who tells you what's happening in your body and why it matters.
The idea
Everything is already there. The work is unpacking it.
Sports and remedial massage clears the obstruction. Training reveals the capacity that was sitting underneath it. One idea delivered two ways, not two services stapled together.
The philosophy is warm. The evidence is cold. Every claim here is cashed out in a number you can measure again in six weeks.
Start here
The Unpack
One hour. £45. Three things looked at properly, then written up and given to you to keep. Nobody else locally offers all three as a single assessment.
How you move
Joint by joint. Range, control and the restrictions you have stopped noticing.
How you fuel
What you eat, when, and whether it matches the work you are asking your body to do.
How you think
Sleep, stress and the habits around training. The part most assessments skip.
Services
MOVE Strength
Personal training that starts where you are and reveals what your body can already do — and keeps going, into athlete work and physique work.

MOVE Therapy
Sports and remedial massage that clears what is in the way, with hands-on screening that tells you where the restriction actually sits. Mobile across the Vale.

About
Jonathan Talks
Qualified Personal Trainer, Sports Massage Therapist, and Level 4 (YMCA) Advanced Sport Nutrition.
Ten years teaching with a PGCE sits behind all of it. That is why every session gets explained: what is happening, why it is happening, and what you should notice next week.
You leave knowing something about your own body that you did not know when you arrived. That is the point.
