    The Heart Behind Reeflex Mind & Motion

    Hi, I'm Reef Cowell, a physiotherapist passionate about improving the quality of life for older adults.
    I founded Reeflex Mind & Motion to help care home residents stay active, independent, and mentally stimulated through physiotherapy-led movement and cognitive sessions.

    After witnessing my grandmother's experience with dementia, I saw how quickly physical and cognitive decline can impact confidence and happiness. I wanted to change that — to create a programme that helps residents stay engaged, capable, and connected through movement and memory-based activity.

    💚 Why I Started Reeflex

    Working in care homes, I saw first-hand how tailored movement and interaction could completely change someone's day — a smile, a moment of balance, a step taken independently again.
    That's when I realised that physiotherapy shouldn't just be about recovery — it should be about preserving ability, dignity, and joy.

    Reeflex Mind & Motion brings together the science of physiotherapy and the power of human connection.
    Each session blends movement, memory, and motivation — helping residents move better, think clearer, and live brighter.

    "My goal is simple — to help every resident feel stronger, safer, and more connected every day."

💬 Reef's Message

"The most rewarding part of what I do is seeing residents regain confidence — when someone stands taller, laughs during a session, or simply feels proud of what they've achieved, it reminds me why I started Reeflex."
