The poor weather is not helping our lower backs at the moment 😩

With poor weather usually comes more time inside and less time moving, which means more lower back stiffness and symptoms 😞

Here is a fantastic sequence we have been doing in classes with the foam rollers this week 🙌 this sequence can be done with a cushion, blocks or some other form of elevation, but the solid feel of the roller is really nice across that sacral area of your lower back 🥰

Lots of clients have reported instantly easier feeling lower backs following this exercise sequence so give it a try!

- Repeated single leg reaches, getting the heel as close to the floor as you can, with both legs
- Repeated single leg straight leg lift/lower, getting the heel as close to the floor as you can, with both legs
- Alternating and reciprocal single leg reaches, getting the heel as close to the floor as you can from the double table top position
- Straight leg scissor swaps, getting each heel as close to the floor as you can

It’s inevitable that peoples’ routines, both personal and exercise, look at little different over the Christmas and New Year period 😅

I personally fully endorse taking the time to have a break from the routine and any intensity of training to give both your mind and body a rest period 🥰

The main downside is that with a break in exercise routine, people usually experience some increased stiffness in their bodies, not just from increase sitting periods but also joint aching from the colder weather 😅

It’s therefore really important as we launch the New Year to get lots of mobility work in to restore as much good function to your body as possible before you start loading too heavy again 👍

This move has been a personal favourite that I’ve taught in the classes this week so integrate this into your mobility work to launch your New Year 🙌

𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧! 😄🥳

After a treasured Christmas and wonderful break to our favourite Northumberland I am back replying to emails and getting prepped for a return to work next week 👍

Classes and clinic BOTH resume on Tuesday so make sure to get booked in!

Clinic services are currently ONLY in North Rigton on Tuesdays and Fridays 👍

If you are wanting a Physio Gym Assessment please email or message directly and I can sort something with you 👍

I’m afraid Physio Gym Group training is paused at present while I sort an alternative training/working location. Everyone who has plans should have their most updated version which you can use at your own gyms or PAYG at Fitness Rooms still until I update you further 👍

Thank you so so much to my Sporting Performance gang for bringing the Christmas joy last night to our last Christmas Pilates session of the year 😅

It has been an utter blast teaching you all again this year 🥰

All Pilates attendees will get their email soon with plenty of homework to keep up with over the festive period 🙌😉

Merry Christmas all and thank you as always for your friendship as well as your continued participation and trust in caring for your bodies 🥰💗

This is our feature sequence for Pilates attendees this week! It’s a lot harder than it looks to keep that foam roller stable😅

1. Split lifts up/down
2. Add in a raise of the foam roller leg
3. Add in a raise of the floor leg - if you can! 😉

Great work for the posterior chain, with particular isolation of that hamstring! Also a good proprioceptive task to land your foot on that roller!

We have been powering up our split squats this last week 😅

1. Normal version
2. Standing leg on the bosu
3. Plyo hop between each rep

Each version brings different benefits for your body to the table, so ideally try combo all 3 🙌😉

My primary goal when I started properly strength training this September was to do an un-assisted pull-up one day 🤞

I was dismayed when I took my hubbie bouldering and I couldn’t hang from a rock at all - my shoulders just couldn’t take my body weight at all 😩

Well TODAY I met that goal 🥳🥳 I am so thrilled 😄 onwards and upwards to build my reps and strength now 💪

Huge thank you to the amazing Pat for your wonderful coaching and support 🙏💗

𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚! 😄🎄🎅

This week has seen the return of my choreographed Christmas sessions! 😄

3 weeks of Christmas tunes and doing Pilates exercises in time to the music! 🕺

Most of us LOVE these sessions as the music is so motivating for what turns into a tough workout - both the tempo of the exercises you are doing, and the duration of doing them for the whole track makes it sincerely challenging 😅

The other great thing about these sessions is that EVERY class is doing the same routine, so it makes attendance very flexible in that you can come to any level class that suits your increasingly busy timetable this time of year! 😅

This week is bodyweight, NEXT week is foam rollers, and week 3 is bodyweight again 👍

My outfit will get gradually bigger all 3 weeks 😅 thankfully my new Christmas leggings did just the entertaining trick for this little one this morning 🥰

We are now up to 5 of these group sessions on the timetable! 😄🙌

Mondays: 10:45-11:45am and 11:45-12:45pm

Wednesdays: 12-1pm

Fridays: 11-12pm and 12-1pm

If you know you need to start incorporating strength and resistance training into your self care but you aren’t sure where to start, this is the service for you 😊

Book in for an hour Physio Gym Assessment on my website and we can have a full review of you and your training needs/goals 👍 During this assessment we will establish and practice 6+ different exercises tailored for you 🙌 we will figure out what resistance, sets, reps…etc are right for you to get started with, and then all this information will get typed up and sent to you as a PDF plan 😊

You then attend these small 3 person group sessions where I will hand you a copy of your plan, and you work round your 6+ exercises with my support and supervision as you get used to the exercises and working out in this lovely private gym environment 🥰

These sessions aim to build people’s confidence and knowledge base with both strength exercises and exercising in a gym setting.

Please feel free to message with any questions!
