Melanie launched The Good Move using her experience working as a physiotherapist, clinical Pilates instructor and more recently workplace injury experience. The Good Move is a series of short Pilates based videos that are designed to promote regular movement and include office friendly options. The benefits of regular movement throughout the day decreased the health risks associated with sedentary behavior. There are also mental health benefits by having brain breaks and resetting through out the day.
