RM TRAINING BELFAST, UK | August – October 2018I was in my element, with this chance to problem solve…
To the core of my being, I am a problem solver.
I live at my best when I experience a situation that isn’t ideal, and I try to work out what can be done to make it better.
I love being a physiotherapist as I get a chance to live at my best, and problem solve with every client.
Sarah* presented with a severe debilitating low back pain, with her trunk shifted to the left (listed), couldn't bend forward and unable to exercise or do her waitressing work
Because this was a flare-up of a 5-year condition Sarah was anxious for her work future… her ambition was to become a firefighter
I was in my element, with this chance to problem solve… Sarah was a perfect opportunity
I want to problem solve the best I can, so the important factors for me are:
Sarah’s condition didn’t immediately improve when I trialed all the techniques I had been taught for this kind of condition.
I questioned myself, "What was I missing?".
I thought about it and realised I had nothing to lose by trialing different techniques to other areas of the body.
Sarah’s left subscapularis muscle had a large, hard knot… when I released this her trunk immediately straightened, she could bend forward without pain, and multiple dysfunctions throughout her body also improved
3 more sessions of subscapularis muscle release and Sarah had full-function, pain-free, and was back to training and work
3-4 monthly tune-ups of this treatment allowed Sarah to have full-function and enjoy life pain-free for more than 4 years… Sarah recently became a firefighter
What happened when Amanda applied RM systems to this client?
Amanda Baker RMCP, Musculoskeletal Solutions, Auckland
"I take this different approach with clients now because it's the only way I can be confident that I can find the best intervention for each client. The results sometimes amaze me as much as they amaze the client."... see case study below
Case Study | Michelle*| Part-time physiotherapist, mother of 1
Michelle had 13 years of intermittent left hip and anterior groin pain
She wanted to be able to play with her child and drive for up to 1 hr without symptoms
Michelle was interested in RM problem solving and took the opportunity to see Amanda Baker
Amanda is driven to be the best that she can be in all aspects of her life, including with solving clients conditions
120-minutes of RM assessment and treatment with Amanda resulted in immediate, dramatic improvements in Michelle's hip and groin, with similar improvements in multiple tests throughout Michelle's body
Michelle remains symptom-free after 3 months, is able to self-treat her condition and is able to enjoy playing with her child with no restriction

Michael Ridgway | Founder of Ridgway Institute International
"I live at my best by pushing the boundaries, by trying something different, and making better changes for all." - Michael Ridgway
Michael completed his post graduate Musculoskeletal Masters degree at the University of Queensland in 2000 - he then became disillusioned in private practice in the following years due to inconsistent results, and being overworked for too little reward.
Michael went on to revolutionise the way physiotherapy is practiced, by applying his deepest honesty and openness to better understanding musculoskeletal pain and injury.
Michael applied his strictly scientific problem-solving mindset to create a systematic process to achieve unparalleled results for his clients.
Michael has helped high-profile people and non-high profile clients achieve results they couldn't achieve with other approaches. The focus was always healthy activity and family time for his clients, his team and for himself.
In order to help Yolane Kukla to Commonwealth and Olympic gold Michael was approved as a Swimming Australia physiotherapist - rare for a non-contracted practitioner.
One of the ways Michael gave back to the profession was to volunteer for the MPA and to share with others the benefits of the APA National Service Descriptors. For this, he won the APA Professional Excellence Award - for contribution to the promotion of the physiotherapy profession - 2007.
Michael's physiotherapy practice in Brisbane, Australia, significantly outperforms others in the industry and provides Michael, his team, and his clients with a quality of life not possible with the way he was taught to approach physiotherapy.
In 2010 Michael realised he can help a lot more people with sharing his systematic approach with other physiotherapists and he started an education business.
Michael has helped hundreds of physiotherapists, throughout Australia, and internationally to achieve a better life for themselves, their teams and their clients.
Amanda Baker | Ridgway Method Certified Practitioner | Director of Musculoskeletal Solutions
Amanda Baker has been a practising physiotherapist for 16 years. She trained at University of Otago, began her work in Wellington, then traveled and worked in the UK, and finally Sydney where she studied the Ridgway Method.
Amanda now resides in Auckland with her husband and two children.
“I thrive the most by living my core values in my work and by helping people who feel the same. My motivation to achieve long lasting results for clients comes by living my honesty and openness with individualized attention, thoroughness and out-of-the-box thinking. This is the way I get to enjoy problem-solving even the most complex conditions, with great satisfaction.
I enjoy healthy living by creating time for exercise, good diet and quality family time. I work hard to be the best role model I can be for my young family. Not only does this motivate me, but it also enables me to give each client my full attention every session.
I also understand what it feels like to be ‘broken’ or just not functioning physically at my best. I have personally experienced the frustrations when a condition does not improve as you would expect. This is why I now specialized in a treatment process that takes the guesswork out of solving musculoskeletal conditions so that I can be confident that I find the best intervention for each client."

Ridgway Method (RM) Explained
Michael Ridgway is not satisfied with the outcomes from the way he was trained in physiotherapy. Michael's frustrations led him to take a more honest and a more open approach.
He strove to be more objective and look further than he was taught, for more rapid and longer lasting solutions.
The results created a new understanding, which is increasingly backed up by research, that musculoskeletal conditions are actually protective mechanisms which are a result accumulative strain.
RM 5 Fundamentals:
These fundamentals guide every step of the RM approach... making it simple for physiotherapists to understand and apply. The clinical results are not like traditional physiotherapy results, there's no comparison. See examples at this tab »
