About Abbey Dubuisson
A whole-person approach to how you move and feel
Abbey has spent more than 10 years working with busy London professionals, from desk-based office workers to people training for their next race. The focus is always practical: helping you move with more confidence, recover well between busy weeks and build habits that fit your real life.
Sessions bring together movement coaching, hands-on treatment and lifestyle coaching. That might mean a strength and mobility programme built from a movement assessment, Output Sports performance testing to measure your power, speed and balance, a sports massage after a heavy training block, a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture session, or practical support with sleep, food and stress.
Everything sits within the 4 Doctors approach from Paul Chek's holistic model: Dr Movement, Dr Diet, Dr Quiet and Dr Happiness. Abbey runs 4D Balance from The Health & Performance Studio in Marylebone.
