Stay Able To Play

Play to Stay Able

Move freely, create fully, and enjoy your body. Through a tailored blend of strength training, manual therapy, movement, and online coaching, we’ll develop a practice that fits you—your needs, interests, and energy. This isn’t about obligatory exercise but about exploration, play, and building the strength to stay capable. Whether you're seeking rehabilitation, performance, or new ways to move, the goal is simple: to help you grow, stay curious, and feel at home in your body.

About Robbie

I help people move freely, build strength, and stay capable—for life. My work isn’t about rigid routines or generic prescriptions. It’s about developing physical competency, agency, and a practice that fits you. Whether through strength training, manual therapy, or movement coaching, I guide you in refining strength, revealing clarity, and reviving play.

I believe that movement should be exploratory, not obligatory. That resilience comes from adaptability, not just effort. That rest is a skill, just like strength. And that staying able to play—physically, mentally, and creatively—is the key to longevity.

I work with artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to move better, feel better, and deepen their body relationship. If you're ready to develop the skills to take care of yourself, stay curious, and embrace the process—let’s get to work, rest, and play.

How to work with me

  • Arthur Pawsey - Musician

    Robbie is a very skilled and knowledgeable therapist. He always makes the work interesting and engaging, he has a way of explaining things in a very relatable way. I couldn't recommend him more

  • Paul Buckley - Pro MMA Athlete

    I can’t thank Robbie enough for the incredible support he has given me. He has helped me with recovery, strength & conditioning, and movement training has truly transformed not just my training but life in general. Robbie’s dedication and expertise have helped me overcome reoccurring injuries and improve my movements to get the most out of my practice. His personalized approach, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference in my recovery and overall performance. Thanks to him, I’m stronger, more mobile, and more confident in my abilities. I’m deeply grateful for his generosity and commitment to my journey

  • Rachel Sheil - Choreographer/Teacher

    I spent 12 weeks working (playing) with Robbie and the experience was completely transformative. Robbie was there to listen to me. Listen to how I viewed my body, my relationship with exercise, how I experienced living and how I wanted to live well.
    It is a sad thing to realise that I have rarely been given the permission to choose how I live in this body. Robbie gave me the permission to claim full agency - to say no to everything he offered if I wanted - but I grabbed hold of almost everything he taught me, of course, because he was listening to me, and it was FUN.
    I leave 12 weeks with Robbie laden with games, playful approaches to movement and confidence in my unique lived experience. I can work with his movement ideas towards a long-term future where I can keep trying, playing, discarding and deepening my practice confidently and with curiosity. Suffice to say, with deepest gratitude, I cannot recommend him enough.

Private Training

I teach strength training practices and principles, tailored to how you present yourself and your goals. Strength training is for everyone. Whether you're looking to build strength, grow or maintain muscle, or develop power, the process is unique to you. While building strength, we also focus on neuromuscular coordination and tissue quality through targeted routines and games. I’ll guide you in creating an individualised path that supports both your strength and overall movement quality.

Injury Rehabilitation

Injury rehabilitation is a precise and thorough approach to treating soft tissue issues, combining techniques from neuromuscular therapy and orthopedic sports massage. This service is designed to address chronic pain, postural issues, joint pain, and other musculoskeletal concerns. With a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, we work to reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and enhance tissue integrity. Whether you’re recovering from injury, dealing with recurring pain, or aiming to improve flexibility, this tailored approach promotes recovery and long-term resilience.

The Rescape Process

(Online Consultation)

The Rescape Process is an online coaching experience designed to help you cultivate strength, clarity, and a deeper connection with yourself. By combining tailored movement practices, creative tasks, and reflective writing, you are guided toward mastering the art of physical readiness, true rest, and self-expression. This isn’t just about fitness; it’s about reshaping your relationship with your body and mind, equipping you with the skills to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, playfulness, purpose, and peace.

  Committed To Continuous Professional Development

  • Paul Griffin

    “I've found my visits to Robbie extremely beneficial, typically my issues tend to be overtraining, overuse issues which often end up resurfacing over and over again. I've found that Robbie was able to treat the immediate issue and which offered relief from pain/tightness a short few days post treatment”

  • Paula Vermeulen

    “Robbie is very passionate and knowledgeable about the body - I'm always fascinated about how much I learn when I go for an NMT session. After a recent session, he suggested some exercises for improvement and maintenance which are very helpful.”

  • Luke Lordan

    “I contacted Robbie in regard to a herniated disc issue I have had for 5+ years. I found his approach to my injury very positive and I left with a far more optimistic view of my situation. I have been successfully playing GAA for the last year and have been able to manage my injury incorporating Robbie’s movements into my weekly exercise routines. I’d highly recommend anyone contact Robbie and get his insight on your injury and what options are available to you.”

  • Niall McGuiness

    I walked out Cafe Move with a bounce in my step. Robbie helped find some tight spots in my hips and legs I didn't even know about and used dry needling and deep tissue massaging to help alleviate it. Worked brilliantly for me.

  • Barry Vaughan

    “Robbie is a fountain of knowledge and he will change the way you look at exercise, and at yourself. Couldn't recommend him more highly.”

  • Jason Busteed

    “I went to Robbie as I was suffering from some neck and shoulder pain along with my calf and thigh muscles locking up, after a short few sessions with Robbie and his expertise I was back to Health, pain-free and with a full range of movement. Highly recommended.”

  • Kathryn Sheehan

    “I recently had 2 sessions with Robbie. I came with tendinitis in my Achilles and a shoulder injury. I came away from both sessions feeling freedom in those areas along with some excellent homework to continue the work on my own. Good news story. I’m now pain-free. The choons and chats are always great. Thanks, Robbie.”

  • Trevor Cummins

    “Thanks to Robbie whose knowledge and relaxed approach helped deliver a beneficial sports massage during a busy race period.”

  • Aoibheann O'Neil

    “It was a huge relief finding someone who understands how the whole body works. He doesn't just fix the problem but helps you understand why. After having pain and restriction for years, scans, x-rays, and specialists .. Robbie could see what no one else could and I had massive relief in a few weeks. I couldn't recommend him enough. His knowledge and interest in what he does is incredible. He actually makes recovering from pain - fun.”
