Why JEMS?

You can move with greater ease, freedom, confidence and control. You really can.

The human body is wonderfully designed for movement but things happen in life which can set you back, hold you up, sap your confidence and shake your sense of control. Sometimes in your efforts to solve the problem, you unknowingly work against your body, and start to get in your own way. We understand that, and we want to put the control back in your hands.

JEMS® has been created to awaken a new understanding of your body, and show you how to work with it intelligently, respectfully and effectively.

Whatever you do in your life, JEMS® is right there with you, whether you want to sprint like the wind, make a comeback after an injury, play your violin effortlessly or just enjoy outdoor fun with the family. It is about unlocking barriers and exploring possibilities. It’s about the most enduring relationship of your life… the one you have with your body.

You are in safe hands. JEMS® is built upon the science of movement, rehabilitation and performance, and backed up by twenty five years of unceasing development, innovation, passion and commitment by internationally respected movement performance and rehabilitation expert, Joanne Elphinston.

Through Joanne’s work, JEMS® is used at the highest levels of sporting performance, on the stages of international concert halls, in hospitals and clinics, and with people of all ages and physical abilities. People just like you, who have found a simple but powerful way to take charge of their bodies, to make a difference to how they feel, and to invest in a healthy active future.

You can too. We’ll help you.
