About
The person behind the practice, the approach, and what you can expect when you work with Free to Move.
The practice
A whole-body approach to movement
Free to Move is a functional movement and myofascial rehabilitation practice built on one simple idea: your body is connected, and lasting change happens when we treat it that way.
I don't chase symptoms in isolation. Instead, I use detailed movement and fascial assessment to understand why your body is holding tension, compensating or limiting range. From there, we build a plan that may include hands-on therapy, guided movement, strength work — or a combination tailored to you.
My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger and live with less pain, by giving you the right support, tools and guidance for your body.
What to expect
- •Every treatment is thorough and unhurried. If the consultation runs a little longer, your treatment time is not cut short.
- •The Myofascial Appraisal includes the most detailed take-home work — movement recommendations tailored to what we find.
- •After hands-on treatments like lymphatic or massage, you may receive a few movement recommendations, but the session itself is the focus.
- •Genuine care and attention. You will be looked after by someone passionate about helping you understand and move better.
Owner, Free to Move
Liandi Richards
My approach combines over 24 years of study and clinical experience across South Africa, the United Kingdom and Australia, integrating myofascial therapy, functional movement, rehabilitation and exercise.
What sets my approach apart is my understanding of the body — particularly the musculoskeletal system, fascial tissue and how everything works together. My passion is not only to ease discomfort, but to look deeper and help identify the root cause of pain, restriction or reduced movement.
I do this through detailed appraisals, taking time to understand your health history, injuries, lifestyle and how your body is currently moving. By assessing your fascial lines, I can identify areas of restriction and prescribe targeted mobility movements to help restore better function.
As a qualified massage therapist, I also use a range of techniques including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, fascial release and lymphatic drainage to support improved movement, recovery and overall wellbeing. I've found that combining mobility work with massage can create longer-lasting results — helping your body feel freer, stronger and more balanced.

"You are giving me the answers, the knowledge and understanding…"
You are giving me the answers, the knowledge and understanding about my body and its particular issues that I have been seeking for many years. Priceless.
This treatment has finally addressed the root cause of chronic pain throughout my body. I have tried everything! Some definitely brought relief, but only temporarily. For the first time I have 100% faith that this is what my body needs. My body is being treated as a whole, all connected, from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. It feels so right.
"It's your passion that really separates you from other therapists…"
Personally I feel like the pressure is just right (not too firm, not too soft), especially when coming across certain tight areas. No massage has been the same because of the different techniques you use to get into those knots, which for me is refreshing.
I'm slowly starting to feel a difference in the areas we specifically circled. It's your passion and drive that really separates you from other massage therapists — you take the time to explain your work and plan of attack.
"The mobility sessions leave me feeling like a completely different person."
Liandi is exceptional. The mobility sessions leave me feeling energised and like a completely different person, one that can move a lot better than when I started.
She also gave me personalised mobility work I can do at home, so every day I'm noticing improvements, both physically and even mentally. Her massages are wonderful and so relaxing. I highly recommend seeing her!
"I absolutely love training with Liandi at Free to Move."
Training outdoors in small groups means the classes are always different and fun!
Liandi's training and knowledge about exercise, movement and mobility ensures you work hard, get fitter and also stretch and balance your body in the process. Tailored for all fitness levels — you can modify and adjust the exercises to suit you. Love it and highly recommend.
"Her knowledge and passion for the mobility of the body is amazing."
I have been so happy with the results from my treatments with Liandi.
I would highly recommend Free to Move if you are experiencing any pain or tightness — you do not have to put up with it. There is a solution and Liandi will help you feel normal again.
"It wasn't airy fairy like other experiences — it was serious healing business."
A treatment that actually got to the source of the problem rather than just easing the symptoms.
