Agnes’ career began as an exercise physiologist in high performance environments, where precision, load management, and adaptability are central to success. Early in her career, she worked in a specialised setting that applied these same principles to people with severe functional limitations—an experience that reshaped how she understands rehabilitation. It showed her that even significantly impaired systems can rebuild capacity when the right inputs are applied. That work led her to physiotherapy, and now to Biio, where she brings a practical, curious approach to complexity—working with patients to solve problems, restore function, and make progress that actually holds.
Agnes uses Biio’s markers assessment to understand how symptoms present across systems, rather than in isolation. In conditions like hypermobility and dysautonomia, patterns of fatigue, instability, and intolerance to load are often interconnected. Her assessments focus on identifying these patterns and clarifying what is limiting function, helping guide a coordinated care plan that reflects how the body is actually operating.
In hypermobile bodies, instability increases the cost of movement. Muscles work harder to compensate, leading to fatigue, pain, and reduced capacity over time. Traditional strengthening approaches often miss this, particularly when efficiency and control are the limiting factors. Agnes focuses on improving how load is managed through the system, helping reduce unnecessary effort so movement becomes more stable and sustainable.
Dysautonomia affects how the body regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and energy, limiting tolerance to activity. Standard exercise approaches can push beyond these limits, worsening symptoms rather than improving them. Agnes works within the body’s current capacity, using carefully graded inputs to build tolerance over time. The goal is to expand what the system can handle without triggering setbacks.
Agnes brings a performance lens to rehabilitation, adapting principles of strength, conditioning, and load management to complex conditions. Rather than focusing on intensity, she prioritises efficiency—helping the body do more with less effort. Movement is progressed in a structured, responsive way, supporting gradual improvements in strength, coordination, and overall function.
