Move Young Live Young

You Don't Need Another Workout.

Sometimes your body needs more than a workout.

Surgery changes you. Injury changes you. Illness changes you. So can years spent in a career that's hard on your body.

You can finish physical therapy and still not feel like yourself. You can do everything you were told to do and still know something isn't right. You can live with Parkinson's or COPD and still want to challenge what your body can do.

And sometimes you simply need help figuring out what comes next.

That's where I come in.

I created AgeDEFY Movement Therapy for injured and aging movers who need a different approach to healing.

I don't believe everyone needs the same program. I want to know what's happening with YOUR body.

I Work With Special Cases.

I especially love working with:

  • People with Parkinson's who want to keep moving and challenge mobility, balance, posture, coordination, strength, and brain-body connection.

  • Joint replacement clients, including hip, knee, and shoulder replacements.

  • Pre-surgery clients who want to spend the months before surgery getting stronger, moving better, and preparing for recovery.

  • Post-surgery clients who have completed rehabilitation or physical therapy and are ready to keep going.

  • People living with COPD who want movement, posture, mobility, breathing work, and conditioning to help live better with COPD.

  • People going through or recovering from cancer treatment who want movement, lymphatic health, and community to support their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

  • Injured movers who have finished traditional rehabilitation, but know they aren't finished rebuilding.

  • People whose careers are hard on their bodies. Let AgeDEFY keep you working and feeling good.

  • Athletes and active adults trying to return to or stay in the activities they don't want to give up.

  • Complicated cases where something still doesn't move or feel the way it should, even after you've done everything you were told to do.

Bring me the movement problem you haven't been able to figure out. I can help.

Before Surgery. After Rehab. And Everything In Between.

I believe preparation matters.

When possible, I love having 90 days before a planned surgery or joint replacement to work on mobility, strength, balance, foot therapy, posture training, breathing, lymphatic health, and the movement skills you'll need during recovery.

After physical therapy, I want to help you figure out what comes next.

Once you're medically cleared and ready for the next step, we can continue building strength, mobility, balance, confidence, and the movement you need for the life you actually want to live.

The AgeDEFY Prehab + Rehab Studio

Springfield, Missouri

If you're local, come see me. If not, scroll down to join AgeDEFY on Zoom.

Studio BodyAbility in Missouri is my small-group movement studio for injured movers, aging movers, prehab, post-rehab, and special cases.

This isn't a traditional group fitness class.

AgeDEFY is personal training, physical therapy, posture and mobility training, and lymphatic health into one program.

Every Tuesday, bring me what's going on with your body.

  • Maybe it's your shoulder.

  • Your hip replacement.

  • Does your back hurt every day?

  • Parkinson's. Cancer Recovery.

  • COPD. Panic Disorder.

  • How is your posture? Come to the studio to take the AgeDEFY posture test.

  • An old injury that keeps showing up and holding you back in life.

  • A physically demanding career that you want to keep working in for years to come.

  • Or maybe you finished physical therapy, and you're wondering what you're supposed to do next.

Come to Studio BodyAbility in Springfield every Tuesday at 9 AM Central to work with me.

Tuesdays at Studio BodyAbility

Your Weekly Movement Therapy Session

Springfield, Missouri | Tuesdays | Only 5 People Per Session

If you live in Springfield, you have a unique opportunity to work with me once a week in person without the cost of private training.

Studio BodyAbility is intentionally limited to five people so I can work with each person in the room, not just teach a class.

Every Tuesday, we start with an AgeDEFY Posture Assessment. I want to see how you're standing, how you're moving, what's changed since last week, and what your body is telling us.

Then we move… Foot Therapy, Posture Training, Lymphatic Health, and MobilityFLOW.

Bring me your injury. Your joint replacement. Your frozen shoulder. Your Parkinson's. Your COPD. Your aching back. The physical demands of your career.

We work with what's happening in the room that day.

Why Small-Group Movement Therapy?

Because you don't always need an hour alone with me to make progress.

Working in a group of five makes movement therapy more affordable while still giving you individual attention, and you get to learn from the other injured movers around you.

Your frozen shoulder teaches the room something. Someone else's hip replacement may teach you something.

A posture correction I give one person may help everyone understand their own body better.

This is the power of community. We learn from each other.

AgeDEFY is movement therapy + coaching + community with ongoing access to an AgeDEFY Movement Therapist every week at Studio BodyAbility in Springfield, Missouri and on Zoom.

AgeDEFY Private Training on Zoom

Before signing up for private training, sign up for a free 30-minute consultation. I only take on special cases for private training.

Injury. Illness. Joint replacement. Pre-surgery preparation. Post-surgery recovery. Parkinson's. COPD. Cancer recovery. Office therapy.

How It Works

Private training starts with a conversation.

Before I agree to work with someone privately, I want to understand what's happening with your body, what you've been through, and what you hope to accomplish.

That's why your first step is a free 30-minute consultation.

Tell me:

  • What's going on?

  • What have you been through?

  • What have you already tried?

  • What are you struggling to do?

  • What do you want to get back to doing?

During our consultation, I'll help determine the right AgeDEFY path forward for you.

Why 90 Days?

I offer private training month-to-month, but for complicated cases, I love having a minimum of 90 days to work with you.

If you're injured, preparing for or recovering from surgery, navigating an illness, or trying to rebuild after a major change in your health, real progress takes time.

I want time to get to know your body. Time to introduce new movement.

Time to hear how your body responds. Time to adjust.

And time to build on what we learn together.

Movement Reveals All.

If we decide private training is the right fit, I'll send you the appropriate registration and payment link after our consultation.

AgeDEFY Movement Therapy | Private Training For Special Cases

Studio BodyAbility | Online Studio | Zoom Studio

If your body needs more individual attention, you can work with me privately from anywhere. We meet on Zoom for talk therapy, movement assessments, and movement therapy.

These are not personal training sessions. AgeDEFY private training is a movement therapy program for injured movers.

We use our private sessions to look closely at how you move, experiment with movement, build new strategies, and determine what your body needs. Then you keep working between our sessions through live AgeDEFY classes, online workouts, weekly programming, and coaching.

Your Private Program Includes:

  • 4 private 1:1 sessions per month held locally or on Zoom

  • Live AgeDEFY classes on Zoom with the AgeDEFY online community

  • Access to the AgeDEFY online workout library

  • Weekly workout guidance based on your needs

  • After-class coaching during live Zoom classes

  • Ongoing adjustments as we learn how your body responds

The goal isn't to give everyone the same exercises. The AgeDEFY way is to figure out what YOUR body needs.

Love Story

“Before AgeDEFY, I would look in the mirror and say, ‘Well, that’s as good as it gets in my 80s.’

Now that AgeDEFY has been in my life for three years, I have energy, enthusiasm, and the will to try new things. Wow, what a difference Dawnelle has made!

I am so grateful and having so much fun.”
