Sports Biomechanics
Move better. Stay safer. Keep doing what you love.
Sports biomechanics is the practical science of how people move — how we balance, land, turn, stop, run, walk, lift, recover and protect the body from avoidable strain.
After 30 years lecturing in sports biomechanics, working with athletes, coaches, police mounted units and Olympic and Paralympic-level competitors, Colleen Kelly now offers practical movement education for clubs, schools, coaches, parents, athletes, active adults, seniors and NDIS-related support settings.
These sessions are designed to be clear, useful and memorable — not heavy academic lectures. The aim is simple: help people understand their bodies better, move more safely, and make smarter decisions before injuries happen.

Walking, Running & Weights
Practical movement coaching for walking, running, lifting, posture, load, balance, fall prevention and safer everyday strength work.
Best for: walkers, runners, gym users, dog walkers and active adults.
NDIS, Seniors & Elderly Support
Gentle, practical movement education for confidence, balance, safer walking, daily function and reducing fear around movement.

Lectures, workshops and practical sessions
Colleen is available for selected talks, club education sessions, parent nights, coaching workshops, senior group sessions, dog walking safety talks, NDIS-related functional movement sessions and private consultations.
Sessions can be adapted for serious athletes, beginners, anxious parents, older adults, disability support settings or community groups who want useful information without the jargon.
Popular topics include: balance, landing, turning, stopping, walking safety, running mechanics, fall prevention, injury risk, dog walking biomechanics, strength training basics and practical body awareness.
Short audio guides and movement notes
For people who want something simple to take home, short audio guides and plain-English movement notes are being developed for athletes, coaches, parents, walkers, runners, seniors and dog owners.
These will be practical, easy-to-follow resources — the kind of thing you can listen to before training, walking, coaching or helping someone move more safely.
