Fall in love with your practice again
Discover your confidence and inspiration as you transform your treatment approach powerfully and holistically through movement.
Do any of these sound familiar?
• You expected to feel fulfilled and inspired at work, but you are actually worn out and anxious.
• You want to work authentically and confidently, but you feel that something is missing.
• People feel better after treatment but it isn’t maintaining.
• You feel confident with some types of patients, but struggle to know where to start with others.
• You want to work with movement but you are unsure how to integrate it relevantly with your patients.
• You can see things in people’s movement but don’t know quite what it means or how to address it.
• You feel limited or unstructured with how to progress effectively.
• You instinctively know there is more to movement than just exercises, but you don’t know how to make that link.
• You feel overwhelmed or things just seem flat, and you can feel your passion slipping away.
Do you feel that there must be more than this?
We understand.
JEMS® Movement ART was created to help professionals like you to do extraordinary work with people of all ages and levels of function, by showing you how to bring the puzzle pieces together, and how to show up for yourself and your patients in a way that is effective, sustainable and inspiring.
Your profession can be everything you had hoped it could be. Here are professionals just like you talking about their experience of working with JEMS®:

Find your flow as you work with the story, not the diagnosis
When you see movement, you are seeing a story the brain is telling about a person. Movement ART teaches you how to make sense of each patient’s story, what to look and listen for, where to begin, and how to assess and progress patients across the age and functional spectrum effectively and truly holistically.
“JEMS® has given me the holistic key I was missing when working with patients with chronic pain. To be able to assist them in discovering their bodies and minds and build their trust in their bodies using JEMS® movement is wonderful.”
Lovisa Amkeus, Physiotherapist, Sweden
Learning movement as exercises or techniques is missing the point: movement is the result of how a person’s physical, emotional and psychological domains are interacting. That is why so many exercise programmes seem unsatisfying – they haven’t accounted for the bigger picture. Movement ART teaches you to recognise and work skilfully with the effects of a person’s emotional state, motivations and behaviours on their posture and movement, making sense of confusing presentations and establishing a calm, progressive structure.
This is why so many of our participants say that JEMS® is the missing puzzle piece!
Embody your genius
Do you ever envy the self assurance that a colleague seems to have, and think that it can’t be yours? Are you trying to accumulate courses thinking that this will bring you that sense of ease?
Your real effectiveness is not in your knowledge, but in how you are showing up for yourself and your patients.
Our mission is to help rehabilitation practitioners to bring their best, most brilliant selves to their work. After two decades of teaching, we know that to achieve the confidence, enthusiasm and effectiveness you aspire to, you need support to explore your own beliefs, self awareness and communication strategies.
Movement ART equips you not just with the knowledge and techniques, but provides an opportunity for the personal insight and development that allows you to really show up authentically and let your distinctive genius shine. For many participants, this is the most game changing aspect of this unique professional development programme.
“I am kinder to myself within sessions, clients have noticed the change and are also experiencing a heightened level of being held and guided.”
Ian Blamey, Movement Coach, Australia.
Move into Mastery
✔️ Assess the bigger picture. Understand what the patient’s movement is telling you, the systems in play, and the most effective start point.
✔️ Find a way in for any patient. No matter who the patient is, JEMS® provides a way in that will make sense to them and to you.
✔️ Identify the cause, not just the symptom. Save time and enhance your manual therapy treatments with functional movement integration.
✔️ Develop an “expert eye”. Know what to look for and understand what you see.
✔️ Incorporate embodiment principles: Cue movement more meaningfully and empower your patients to identify and sense their own patterns.
✔️ Discover a fresh approach to posture, based on natural reflexes and sensory cues, and create a greater sense of ease, elasticity and freedom.
✔️ Become an effective coach: create an interaction dynamic which supports optimal learning, maintains patient focus and boosts motivation.
✔️ Transform your patient relationships: Let go of “fixing” people and invite your patients to collaborate in a process of shared responsibility and discovery.
✔️ Progress, adapt and vary exercise techniques with precision and creativity to create individualised, relevant programmes that are both meaningful and fun for the patient.
✔️ Guide your patients into moving with greater ease, poise, power and efficiency using simple concepts that they can understand and take ownership of.
“One of the biggest things I appreciated about the programme was a belief in the possibility for CHANGE. The course has rekindled my belief in that possibility and re-ignited my determination to help my patients experience it!”
Hugh Ruxton, Osteopath, UK
Joanne tells you just a little about the JEMS® approach to movement here:
Who is Movement ART for?
Movement ART is designed specifically for clinically based rehabilitation practitioners who feel deeply that there is more to movement than just muscles, mechanics and motor control.
From elite sport to chronic pain management, and every career stage, from newly qualified to the verge of retirement, our participants join us because they are motivated to address the whole person in the treatment interaction with greater clarity, confidence and creativity through an expanded understanding of the role of movement.
How does the programme work?
Movement ART is offered in two parts, Programme 1 and Programme 2. Each programme runs for approximately 16 weeks. Programme 1 comprehensively establishes the JEMS® foundation concepts in all of the areas listed above, with emphasis on the trunk and lower body up to intermediate functional level.
Course 2 continues your skill development in all of these areas and extends them to increasingly dynamic lower body applications, polishing your clinical reasoning and observation skills, and applying all of this knowledge to the fascinating and versatile upper limb. You will finish the programme with confidence, capability and enthusiasm!
Each programme is delivered in a blended learning format, using a variety of techniques to support your learning.
Course 1 includes:
20 hours of live online learning and mentoring, including interactive lectures/workshops with Joanne, small group breakout rooms for clinical problem solving, and guided small group observation practice with JEMS® Learning Mentors. These events are spaced throughout the 16 weeks of the programme.
13+ hours of self-paced learning on the JEMS Academy learning platform, including 16 weeks of access to:
• 28 video lessons with Joanne teaching you, just as she would “live”.
• Downloadable PDF handouts for each lesson.
• 63 professionally produced JEMS® technique videos, featuring Joanne’s detailed cuing, facilitation and observation instruction.
Private online community for the duration of the course, for participant interaction, shared learning, and pre-event questions for Joanne and her team.
