Send us an email at inquiries@motion-works.co.uk telling us a little about your situation, goals and any relevant history. We'll arrange a brief introductory call to make sure Motion-Works is the right fit for you.
You'll be guided through a detailed online health and lifestyle questionnaire covering your goals, injury history, daily routine, activity levels and more. This forms the basis of your bespoke programme.
Your answers are reviewed personally by Barney Polden, who prepares and signs off a comprehensive, tailored report and programme — covering physical training, rehabilitation exercises, nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
As you progress — through seasons, recovery stages or changing goals — your programme can evolve with you. Motion-Works is a partnership, not a one-off document.
Motion-Works was founded by Barney Polden — a GOsC-registered osteopath with over 15 years of clinical experience, a background in military fitness and a lifelong commitment to elite sport.
An award-winning healthcare practitioner and recognised expert in injury prevention for military personnel and competitive athletes, Barney has worked with patients at every stage — from acute injury through to peak performance.
Having navigated serious injuries and surgical reconstructions of his own, he understands the rehabilitation journey from both sides of the treatment table. That personal experience is woven into every programme he designs.
"The right support at the right time can change everything. You don't need to figure it out alone."
