Murph's Vision

Daniel Murphy is the owner and Director of Movement Therapy. His vision became a reality in 2020 when Movement Therapy opened its doors in Picton and Wollongong.

Where it Started

I did not have a straight line into healthcare. After school I tried the trades, then university, almost failed my first semester, and slowly found my feet. Studying sport and exercise science switched a light on. I became obsessed with how the body adapts and how simple habits create real change. I tested ideas on myself, then with clients, and saw how clear guidance makes a difference.The bigger wake-up call was learning how widespread chronic disease is in our communities and how much of it can be prevented. A business plan assignment became the seed for Movement Therapy: a place that helps people improve their health with practical, everyday action.

What We Believe

We believe simple plans work best. Every session should end with a clear next step. We believe active care beats passive fixes, because lasting progress comes from building habits you can keep. We take a whole-person view, where your goals, lifestyle and confidence matter as much as your symptoms. We commit to progress you can see by measuring what matters so change is visible, not guessed at. Above all, we work as a team across physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and exercise physiology, because collaboration serves outcomes better than ego.

How We Deliver

Early in my clinical career I saw excellent care and I also saw gaps. I even started down the path to medicine, but hospital placements showed me a hard truth: many people arrive there because prevention came too late. I chose to focus on earlier, clearer help.

Movement Therapy exists to make care practical. We create individual plans you can follow at home. We set straightforward timeframes and honest expectations. Our practitioners explain the why as well as the what so you understand each step. If that sounds like the care you want, meet the team or book your first appointment.

The 4 Step Process

A clear path to recovery. Getting you moving and on your way.

Step One

Move Well

Your journey begins with personalised one-on-one sessions with a Movement Therapist. The primary aim of this initial stage is to help you move effectively. We support you whether you are dealing with an injury, experiencing pain, or struggling to perform essential tasks.

Your therapist will employ various techniques, including dry needling, massage, manipulation, cupping, and foundational rehabilitation exercises. Additionally, we will discuss how your lifestyle choices can impact your overall health.

Step two

Move More

As you improve your movement, you will naturally start to move more. You may choose to continue with your current Movement Therapist or transition to a new one who better fits this journey stage. Regardless of your path, the emphasis is on encouraging greater use of your body.

You will likely notice an overall increase in your activity levels and a newfound freedom in your movements as you better understand how your body functions. This progress may also improve your sleep, eating habits, and overall well-being.

Step THREE

Move for Life

You now clearly understand what you need to do and how to achieve it. At this stage, surrounding yourself with a supportive community is crucial for staying committed to your goals. A coach is also essential to help you adapt and evolve your approach as you progress.

In our group sessions, you will join 4 to 6 like-minded individuals several times a week, guided by a Movement Therapist. This collaborative environment will keep you on track and ensure your continued growth.

Step FOUR

Move On

You have achieved and maintained your goals and may be ready for your next challenge. While your journey with us ends, your journey towards optimal health continues. We will connect you with our community partners who can support you in maintaining your well-being or provide that extra motivation if you seek a new challenge.
