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.

Lectures, workshops and practical sessions

Colleen is available for selected talks, club education sessions, parent nights, coaching workshops, senior group sessions, safety talks, NDIS-related functional movement sessions, and for animal assisted therapy with Tutu the Trickster and Alex the Alley Cat.

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.
