About
Simply, Arete is the pursuit of excellence in order to fulfil one’s purpose. It is about bravery, courage, virtue and effectiveness. A person of Arete is someone who can employ all their faculties – social, intellectual, emotional – to achieve a life well-lived, or to live bravely.

Curtis Allderidge
Exercise Physiologist
Exercise Physiologists use exercise as a modality to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective interventions for people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.
These pathologies include but are not limited to cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, musculoskeletal, cancers, kidney, respiratory / pulmonary and mental health conditions.
We can also work with any other conditions for which there is evidence that exercise can improve a client’s clinical status – how good is that?!
Exercise is my favourite thing in the entire world and helping others is my passion!
Cecilia Trungove
Clinical Myotherapist
At the Holistic Myo, our aim is to treat every person and condition with a wide range of techniques and focus on supporting positive client outcomes. This is achieved by assessment, treatment and ongoing management by a Myotherapist trained to take an evidence-based practice approach for each individual’s needs.
We are also a neurodiverse affirming practice with expertise around hypermobility and other physical conditions associated within the neurodiverse space.
