Move Forward Physiotherapy and Performance

About Us

Hey! We are Move Forward Physiotherapy and Performance

I don’t just carry a Doctor of Physical Therapy title behind my name – I’m deeply entrenched in the exhilarating realm of Muay Thai and combat sports.

Beyond my expertise as a Physio, I’ve spent over 15 years as a strength coach and personal trainer, honing athletes to their peak potential.

I’m not just another Physiotherapist. I’ve trained in the sport of Muay Thai, and I’ve been where you are. I’ve seen the thrill of high performance and the exhaustion that follows intense training.

My dual expertise – in the ring and in the clinic – is what sets me apart. I’ve helped fighters prep, dominate, and recover. And now, I want to help you.

When I’m not busy analyzing your movement patterns or guiding fighters in their intense fight camps, you might catch me throwing a few Muay Thai kicks and punches of my own.

From prepping fighters for their big day to aiding in their recovery post-match, I've been there through it all. And I'm here for you.

About Dr. Robyn Ringberg - A Journey from Passion to Expertise

My Educational Foundation:

At Simpson College, I laid the groundwork for my journey, immersing myself in the foundational knowledge that would later fuel my passion for physiotherapy. I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at St. Catherine University, honing my skills and specializing in techniques that would redefine athlete recovery and performance.

The Genesis of Move Forward Physiotherapy and Performance:
Move Forward Physiotherapy and Performance was born from a unique blend of love for Neurology, Sports Medicine, and Trauma care. My journey into the world of Muay Thai opened my eyes to the specific challenges and needs of combat athletes. Witnessing fighters grappling with injuries, I felt a deep drive to contribute to their recovery process and enhance their resilience in the ring.

Innovating for Combat Sports:
Understanding the specific risks involved in combat sports, I developed a unique Concussion Protocol tailored to these athletes' needs. This protocol is a testament to my commitment to providing comprehensive and specialized care for fighters.

Beyond the Clinic:
When I'm not immersed in enhancing athletic performance and recovery, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors, traveling, and wandering through the mountains. These adventures are not just hobbies; they are a source of inspiration and rejuvenation.

Family Life:
At home, I'm blessed with the company of my amazing partner, Tom, and our special needs fur baby, Flynn. They are my support system, constantly reminding me of the joy and balance in life.
