Petina Rains
Functional Therapist | Naturopath | Pilates Instructor | Remedial Massage Specialist
With over 20 years of experience in the natural health industry, Petina Rains is a dedicated Functional Therapist whose holistic approach integrates Pilates, Remedial Massage, and Naturopathy to empower clients in achieving lasting health and vitality. Rooted in the belief that true wellness comes from balancing the body’s foundational movement and healing abilities, Petina is committed to helping people not only alleviate pain but to move freely, live actively, and thrive.
Growing up in a family that deeply valued health and well-being, Petina's passion for natural health was instilled at an early age. Guided by a ‘health nut’ mother and a family legacy of chiropractors, Petina learned from their example and went on to work alongside her grandfather, assisting in chiropractic adjustments and mastering various massage techniques designed to release muscular tension and promote better alignment.
Building on this foundation, Petina pursued studies in Naturopathy, Remedial Massage, and Professional Pilates Instruction, equipping herself with a diverse skill set that combines the art and science of healing. Today, remedial massage is the cornerstone of every session, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to meet the individual needs of clients. Whether it's easing pain, enhancing mobility, or reducing tension, Petina’s goal is always to help clients move with ease and confidence.
With a deep understanding of functional movement, therapeutic massage, and the body’s innate ability to heal, Petina brings a balanced, thoughtful, and empowering approach to every client she works with. Her passion for natural health continues to guide her both in her practice and in her life, where she thrives on helping others live their healthiest, most vibrant lives.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals”
— Joseph Pilates
Movement plays an integral role in our state of health and sense of wellbeing. Especially mindful movement which is targeted to support the structures of the body and the function of those structures. The movement focus at Remedial Moves is deliberate, it’s concentrated and it’s controlled to bring awareness inward and consciously move from our centre. We prescribe individualized exercise programs to aid in correcting postural issues, impingements, restrictions and the creep of repetitive use. It’s the perfect compliment to massage, enhancing release and hydration of the tissues in addition to building strength, stability and form to see you functioning at your best!
Integrating natural health solutions to optimise your bodywork, our Naturopathic approach is to restore inner wellbeing utilising the ancient wisdom of herbs and the healing power of whole foods.
We use test based nutrition to establish your cellular function. We then have a clear framework to knowing how best to support you in energy production, hormone regulation, optimising absorption of nutrients, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation and more!
Using only high quality ingredients sustainable sourced, organic and vegan where possible, our dispensary formulations are compounded to order delivering a unique product based on each patients individual clinical profile. With no fillers, binders, additives and preservatives.
