Evidence based, holistic healthcare. An apparent paradox; until now.
We have teamed up with one of our most influential movement teachers - the wonderful Samantha Emanuel to lead a truly innovative project in healthcare. Our mission is not to call out the shortcomings of said profession (Chiro, physio, yogi, personal trainer……..). Our mission is to provide YOU with a vehicle to Create-Your-Alternative. We will share the clinical model we have used at B2R as well as TEACH you the business model and all you need to either adapt to your circumstances or start-up yourself, we have included it all.
Implementing contemporary evidence-based concepts is NOT easy and does not fit into nice square boxes.
This project will include Luke’s entire academic curriculum of pre-recorded lectures from the University of South Wales as well as all other key research resources we have with Paul McCambridge. After teaching hundreds of Chiro and Physio students for the past 4 years I have learned the areas people are most lacking in implementing a person-centred, bio-psycho-social, evidence-based approach.
Harnessing self-efficacy and a non-linear approach to human movement is TOUGH. It’s tough in yourself, never mind coaching it with someone in pain. It is for this reason I reached out to Samantha Emanuel and asked if she could put together a MOVEMENT CURRICULUM for healthcare professionals to learn these concepts themselves first and foremost. Here is what another of our movement teachers, Jon Yuen, had to say about Samantha.
“While other trainers have toolboxes from which to draw various training exercises and methods, Samantha has an entire shopping mall of Saudi-Arabian proportions. The sheer variety of exercises, games, ideas and drills she knows and is able to teach due to her own rigorous and multifaceted training is a breath of fresh air, and she never stops to facinate or surprise me.
This is evident in how she coaches people from all walks of life. She doesn't just prescribe exercises that strengthen x or lengthen y - she creates experiences that changes how people think about their own bodies and what they are capable of.
I am so stoked she agreed and will 100% be going through the movement curriculum myself. She taught me where my spine is, arguably I’m still looking, but am on my way.
As well as my pre-recorded academia, released week by week, there will be Samanthas pre-recorded movement work. In addition to this, we will have weekly live group sessions for discussion, tasks & movement. I will be teaching a clinical model that I believe is reproducible, to develop your clinical reasoning to make rehabilitation interesting, challenging, evidence-based and perhaps most importantly - fun.
You will learn to use all the components of the B2R chalkboard we have developed and you will also RECEIVE the artwork to get yours printed wherever you are.
Something we are not taught in University but is an elephant in the room; Selling. This is my least favourite part and I had to learn FAST when I worked in London. If we cannot sell what we do then the best rehab programme in the world is useless. I will share a business model (using your chalkboard) and the tips and tricks for setting up your practice inclusive of setting expectations, context, and reputation. Mr Aaron Kubal will be joining us to share how he has managed to become a ‘new-age’ clinician online via socials - I cant wait for that! Check Aarons Tiktok out.
Most importantly for me personally, is providing an opportunity for smart people who have dipped their toes in the waters of evidence-based practice. I have observed that the sharper students and clinicians are the ones who become disillusioned by their current profession / pathway ahead and I have seen a great many give up. I want to share a vehicle (that does NOT promise quick fixes or all the answers) that can support you to create your alternative - don’t wait for it to come to you, or put it off to a more convenient time, that won’t happen. A platform of like-minded healthcare professionals all trying to make their way creating emergent healthcare programmes - connected and supported. That would have been what I wanted when starting.
There are a great many aspects to setting up yourself; graphic design, website, business model, social media, marketing, networking, branding, photography…….You will be exposed to the entire resource I still use for all this today through the incredible PixelHaze.
If you haven’t felt it yet, I am excited to share this with you. Please meander through our 12-week overview to get much closer (to literally get closer, zoom in on your device, or press “Ctrl” and “+” if you have eyes like me! Or click on the tile, it should blow up) to EXACTLY what you are getting yourself into.

-
Each week pre-recorded lectures and movement classes will be released for consumption which will also be connected to the theme of the live calls / class. The material will build over the weeks on the platform with key resources being sent to you via email (your chalkboard graphics, self-management workbook)
-
You will receive info via your email
-
Your level of engagement is dependent on how far you wish to take your research. The minimum amount of time would be 6-hours per week (spread across pre-recorded and live material + some practice time). To get the most out of the movement curriculum we would encourage you to take an explorative, playful approach to each week, little and often to accumulate more time on skill acquisition. In other words, you will have a movement practice for each day if you can fit that into your schedule.
-
Material will remain accessible for the duration of the internship, you could work at your own pace and spend some more time and any given week.
-
You will have the option to download the App on your smartphone and carry the course wherever you go!
-
Yes. You will receive an email letting you know by when you need to download the material.
-
These will also be recorded and uploaded to the platform as soon after the session for you to catch up
-
The main THING you will need will be internet. This internship will be developing your resourcefulness, no specific equipment is required. Household objects will likely suffice and perhaps some floor space.
-
We see this project as providing two primary solutions. Firstly: a movement experience for clinicians who maybe have NONE and wish to develop confidence and competence to ultimately prescribe. Secondly: clinical reasoning for movement experts (dancers, martial artists, yogis, strength coaches….) who wish to apply their craft for common clinical presentations like aches, pains, lifestyle healthcare prescription, and neurodegenerative disorders. It is also likely you have little to NO clinical practice experience or business experience - this project is absolutely designed with you in mind.
-
I teach final-year Chiropractic students so I know how hectic life is. I also see the major deficits new grads exit with. This project is designed to run from September to December which aligns with (some) academic curricula around the world. This could be undertaken simultaneously with your final year. If you are earlier in your studies than final year, but really would like to participate then contact Luke personally for a chat about options.
-
We will all be treated equal here, student and clinician alike. There is a discounted early rate, available for all.
-
We cannot promise there will be, such is life.
-
B2R courses have the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) stamp of approval. This course would count for over 72 hours CPD.

We cannot promise this. In fact, this is not the goal. Our goal, like with our clients, is to give you the tools to ultimately not need us. We will have provided you a clinical model, a movement experience, a community, and the resources to apply a business model, as well as exposure to a business start-up company entwined with B2R for you to go and grow your seed your way, create your alternative.
