What happens when you change the mechanics.

Most clients arrive after years of temporary relief from passive treatments. By addressing how you stand, walk, and rotate through space, your body stops compensating.

5 Months
Avoided Surgery Knee & Back

Aaron — Turning Back the Clock & Avoiding Surgery

Before

  • •8/10 Back & bone-on-bone knee pain
  • •6/10 Neck pain

After

  • ✓0/10 Pain free
  • ✓Running again after 10 years

“25 years of physio, chiro, acupuncture, pilates, yoga and deep tissue massage provided only temporary relief. After five months with Dave, I was entirely pain-free and running again — something I was told 10 years prior I’d never do.”

2.5 Years
Back Pain Posture

Professional Dancer — Back Pain & Posture

Before

  • •Needed painkillers just to move
  • •Hyperextended knees & fatigue

After

  • ✓Completely free of back pain
  • ✓Strong rotational mechanics

“I was a professional dancer and had to stop due to back pain. Within a few weeks with Dave I felt the first changes. Today, I feel strong, my chronic fatigue disappeared, and I haven’t had back pain since.”

Postpartum Headaches

Post-Pregnancy Separation, Back Pain & Headaches

Before

  • •3-finger stomach separation
  • •7/10 daily pain & orthotics

After

  • ✓Separation reduced to 1 finger
  • ✓Natural foot arch & zero pain

“My daily pain levels were 7/10. Within three months my stomach separation reduced from 3 fingers to 1, my feet restored a natural arch with no orthotics needed, and the headaches and back pain are completely gone.”

Dave Schrader - Biomechanics Specialist

Dave Schrader

Biomechanics Specialist & Health Practitioner

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) • Master’s in Applied Science • 6+ years coaching human movement, alignment, and pain resolution.

An engineer’s eye for how the human body adapts.

I’m a biomechanics specialist and health practitioner with over six years of experience helping people overcome pain, improve movement, and enhance athletic performance.

With a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and a Master’s in Applied Science, I bring a scientific, first-principles approach to understanding how the human body behaves and adapts.

“My own experience with scoliosis and chronic back pain led me to apply that thinking to my own body. By applying these concepts, I began to influence how I stood, walked, and moved day to day. Over time, my back pain resolved and I feel better as I age.”

Biomechanics applies principles of physics to living systems. Those principles are applied to the human body to influence how it functions and moves through space.

Drawing on my studies in ecology and natural systems, I combine scientific precision with a holistic, systems-based approach to health — exploring the relationships between body, mind, and environment to help people restore natural movement, improve alignment, and build strength and longevity.

Start with an assessment. Build for longevity.

Every body has a unique history of compensations. We start by mapping how you stand and walk before tailoring your training or bodywork.

Initial Consultation & Movement Assessment

Discover how your body moves and where there’s room to improve. We’ll discuss your goals, look at how you stand and walk, and take posture photos with your permission. We’ll explore opportunities to improve alignment and physical function, then begin personalised training in the same session.

  • Standing & gait mechanics analysis
  • Optional posture & alignment benchmarking
  • Root-cause breakdown of pain & restrictions
  • Hands-on corrective training in Session 1
