At Balance2Perform you can meet Robert as a therapist, a teacher and as part of the administration and management. He also gives lectures and teaches small courses.
Roberts and Balance2Perform's vision is to spread B2P body therapy so that more people can live healthy lives in balance between body and mind. Robert treats from the perspective of the whole musculoskeletal system and the whole person.
He works a lot with mental coaching and breathing exercises as well as with specific training exercises. For Robert, it's the small successes over time that create change, and he focuses on guiding his clients to believe in themselves and that they can get better.
Robert's own encounter with body therapy started back in 1996, when his back was injured while he was providing first aid. Overnight, he lost control of his body, and doctors declared Robert 50 percent disabled and told him he would never get better. Robert couldn't reconcile himself to that idea, however, and he began seeking alternative treatments to get better.
The combination of psychotherapy, acupuncture and body therapy was to change his life, and he ended up on the bench with Ole Kaare Føli (founder, Body SDS). After a long course of treatment with Ole, Robert gradually felt better and regained control of his body.
With Robert's background in psychotherapy and body therapy, he founded Balance2Perform as an independent therapy practice in 2008. And in 2022, the Balance2Perform therapy school was founded, offering B2P treatments, an educational program, various trainings, courses, events and more.
