Foot Mobilisation
A hands-on approach to foot pain
Yes — I actually touch your feet!
Foot Mobilisation Technique (FMT) is a hands-on modality that works on the foundations of your body: your feet.
Foot pain is stubborn. As anyone who has it can attest, it rarely comes alone — it usually brings its friends. Tight calves, a stuck sacrum, a tail bone out of alignment. Everything above your feet is compensating for what’s happening below.
I decided to study FMT because of what I was seeing in clinic. Some people arrived with foot pain so persistent that Bowen alone wasn’t fully resolving it. So in 2024 I travelled to Australia to complete specialised training in Foot Mobilisation Technique — and in March 2026 I brought that trainer here to New Zealand to train local podiatrists and physiotherapists in the technique.

A six-week programme
Combining Bowen with targeted foot work
Because foot pain is so stubborn, I’ve combined my two passions into a specialised six-week treatment programme.
Each session lasts just 30 minutes. I use some of my Bowen training to balance your body, alongside targeted Foot Mobilisation Techniques. You’ll also go home with a simple rehabilitation exercise — and I know nobody likes doing home exercises, but these really are easy.
Many people find their foot pain has settled within this time frame. Depending on your situation you may need more than six treatments, and we’ll work that out together as we go.
Did you know?
Your feet contain a quarter of all the bones in your body. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons — a highly complex, weight-bearing network. When the joints in your feet become displaced, it can trigger a domino effect throughout your body.
Please note
FMT is not suitable if you have:
- A fracture in the foot
- A fusion or coalition of a foot joint
- Had an osteotomy
- Osteoporosis
If you’re unsure whether FMT is right for you, get in touch and we’ll talk it through before you book.
