< Team Fatma Elbakry Kinetic Control Tutor ​ Note English Note Egypt "When my patients ask me to describe movement retraining, I say it’s about empowering you with more options to move, perform better and enjoy more quality of life.

I’m passionate about the use of movement as a therapy and beyond" SUMMARY After more than 10 years of experience working with a wide variety of patients in private practice as a therapist and Pilates instructor, Fatma discovered Kinetic Control.

Fatma states, ‘I want to facilitate knowledge exchange, removing the barriers to continuous education and development we can encounter.
