Josephine Key

Josephine Key is a neuro-musculo-skeletal physiotherapist with over 45 years in clinical practice, the majority of which have been devoted to seeking a better understanding of the spine in both its health and disease. The evolution of her model of care is the result of evaluating and integrating the available movement, fascial and neuroscience; the ample evidence gleaned from clinical practice; the exploration and evaluation of various movement disciplines - for what they offer in terms of healthy spinal control – or otherwise. Josephine is increasingly exploring the felt sense of movement and the ability to exploit neuroplastic change – “retraining our brain” to organise healthier movement patterns and better biomechanics. Josephine has had a number of academic papers published in the international peer reviewed journal, Bodywork and Movement Therapy. (see: www.keyapproach.com.au/publications). Her article “The Core: Understanding it and retraining its dysfunction” was one of the journal’s five most downloaded papers in 2014.  She is the author of BACK PAIN: A movement problem. A clinical approach incorporating relevant research and practice. Published by Elsevier in 2010 Josephine has presented at international congresses and conducts workshops both nationally and internationally for physiotherapists, interdisciplinary manual therapists, and movement teachers. Josephine has recently completed “Freedom to move: movement therapy for spinal pain and injuries” which was published by Handspring in September 2018
