Warwick Maloney

Exercise Physiologist / Pilates Teacher / Remedial Massage Therapist / Educator

 

Background

I have always been a mover, as a child sports such as baseball, soccer and surfing were a big part of life. A gap year (which became multiple years…) working in ski resorts saw me living and snowboarding in the Colorado Rockies where I first undertook a Pilates class. Instantly I was hooked and the seed for Movement Health was planted.

I began my Movement education with the study of Remedial Massage, followed by Exercise Science and Pilates, the common thread being a desire to learn more about health and human Movement. The culmination of my formal education was being awarded a University scholarship to undertake a research project; the final thesis was awarded First Class Honours.

For five years I managed a studio practice in Forster on the New South Wales Mid-Coast and today I prepare professional development for evolved health practitioners. Through Movement Health I’m here to provide accessible, enlightened training that encourages practitioners to explore new ideas and supports them to be thriving Movement Health professionals.

Professional Interests

Pain Science

I have committed a large share of my own professional development to the study of modern pain science; the neuroimmune system is such a fascinating part of our Movement physiology.

Physical Culture

I have an obscure interest in the Physical Culture Movement of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is where all of my Movement Health interests come together, the origins of Exercise Science and modern Massage can be found in the Physical Culture Movement. During this time Physical Culturists such as Joseph Pilates shared their exercise philosophies whilst encouraging individuals to engage with their own health. In 2019 I presented at the Pilates Alliance Australasia national conference on the topic of Physical Culture.
