Movement therapy for chronic illness
We help you build capacity for life while living with pain, fatigue, and invisible illness.
Living with pain, fatigue, or invisible illness can leave you feeling utterly spent
Each day demands more than your body has to give. Even simple decisions become calculations. How much energy will this take? What will I have to trade off if I go through with it? Tasks that used to be simple now carry consequences. Experiences that used to bring you joy now leave you feeling drained. Over time, the things that make you feel like yourself — your work, your relationships, your happiness — start to slip further out of reach.
It’s difficult to explain this to others. Most people don’t see how much effort it takes just to get through a day. You’ve probably heard suggestions or read things that make sense in theory, but nothing fits the complexity of what you're feeling. And when you're already stretched thin, taking any action can feel like a mountain you don’t have the strength to climb.
You don’t have to navigate this alone
What if you had a therapist who won’t dismiss your experience, but listens, adapts, and walks alongside you?
At Neurokinetica, you’ll be supported by someone who understands the toll chronic illness takes on your body, your energy, and your sense of self. We offer personalised care that blends physiotherapy, movement, breath, and mind-body approaches — support that meets you where you are, and respects what you already know about living in your body.
About the therapist
Yvonne Manzi, MISCP MSc
A Chartered Physiotherapist and Yoga Therapist with a specialist focus on chronic illness, Yvonne offers a distinctive integration of clinical expertise and embodied therapeutic movement. Her approach bridges evidence-based physiotherapy with somatic awareness, breath-led practices, and restorative strength work—creating an experience that is both grounded in science and deeply attuned to the individual.
Yvonne’s work is rooted in the belief that movement can be both therapeutic and transformative—especially when guided with clarity, care, and presence. Her clinical precision is paired with a quiet invitation to listen inward, slow down, and meet the body as it is.
