Our story

SimpliMove is the result of a lifetime of study, research and hands-on clinical experience of sisters Deborah and Sandra Hunter.

Deborah was inspired to create SimpliMove by her patients, who regularly share with her the challenges they encounter using healthcare apps. It is all too common to hear that trusted, relevant digital health resources are hard to find.

So, she joined forces with her sister, Sandra, a Professor of Exercise Physiology, and recognized researcher in the benefits of exercise in older adults and those with chronic diseases.

Collectively, Deborah and Sandra have worked closely with hundreds of people struggling with the daily impacts of everyday pain limiting their freedom to move well. This led them to spend the past decade merging their expertise and experience to develop SimpliMove.

Together with a team of professionals, they‘ve created this unique digital health platform that encourages people to remain active and independent as long as possible.

SimpliMove is the champion of movement.

We are putting pain in its place to help people move beyond everyday pain, niggles and discomfort to stay strong, active and well.

Being able to move well is essential to living well. However, as people live longer, they face an increased risk of physical injuries and chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease that impact their ability to remain active.

At SimpliMove, we believe exercise is essential to maintaining good health, physical independence and positive wellbeing. We empower you to move in the right way so everyday pain and barriers to movement don’t hold you back. We want you to build strength and fitness to stay active and continue to do the things you enjoy.

We understand how to facilitate and enable movement in a safe and accessible way for people of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to support you to look and feel amazing and enjoy the simple pleasures. We want you to look forward to all the good things still to come, confident your body can keep up.
