🌺 Remembrance Sunday

Every year, on the second Sunday of November, we pause to reflect, remember, and give thanks. Remembrance Sunday is our chance to honour all those who have served, and those who continue to serve, in the armed forces.

It’s a time to remember the bravery, sacrifice, and selflessness of men and women who gave their lives so that we could live in peace and freedom today. From the soldiers of the First and Second World Wars to those who have served in more recent conflicts, their courage and dedication must never be forgotten.

By coming together at memorials, services, and parades, we show that their sacrifices were not in vain. We stand in unity, across generations, to say thank you and to promise that we will always remember.

So this Remembrance Sunday, take a moment to go out, wear your poppy with pride, and join your local community in a shared act of remembrance.
Remembering is not just about the past; it’s about ensuring that the values they fought for live on in us today.

We will remember them. 🌹

🚣‍♂️ Meet Kip & Chris: Rowing the Atlantic for a Cause That Matters 🌊

We’re incredibly proud to support Kip Wells and Chris Ambler, a client's son and friend in their December challenge. They’re setting out to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, and they’ve never rowed before. Talk about starting big! 😲

Their mission? To raise funds and awareness for the Jon Egging Trust, a charity that empowers young people facing adversity to realise their potential through self-belief and resilience.

This is more than just a physical challenge; it’s a journey of determination, friendship, and purpose. Kip and Chris are pushing themselves to the limit and we’re cheering them on every stroke of the way.

Want to follow their journey or support their cause?
Visit www.forcehorizon.com for updates and ways to get involved.

Kip & Chris, you’ve got this! 💪🌊

✨ A little magic has arrived at the clinic this week… ✨

Our sweet pot has had a bit of a glow-up — now transformed into our Kitchen Witchery & Incantations Bowl (with a friendly pumpkin keeping watch!).

If you’re in for your session, don’t forget to help yourself to a spellbinding treat and maybe make a little wish for wellness as you choose one.

Because good physiotherapy might fix your aches, but a touch of sweetness can lift your spirits too! ✨🎃🍬

Couldn't agree more!

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”

Joseph Pilates believed that physical and emotional wellbeing were inextricably linked.

When someone says fitness to you what do you think of? Exercise, nutrition, sleep, mobility, flexibility? It might conjure up images of Pilates, running, strength training, tennis, golf or cycling?

I think that it’s a full package of health and wellbeing. How we look after ourselves, how we move, what we eat, how much we sleep, how much we can be outside in the fresh air, and having friendships and community.

I’m eternally grateful for the wonderful community we have in the studio. Everyday I have the pleasure of helping people to improve their physical fitness. I watch my clients progress, become more confident, grow stronger and learn more about their own bodies. As they become more consistent it’s wonderful to see Pilates become part of who they are, rather than just another workout.

For me, Pilates and physical fitness really is the first requisite of happiness.

🪑 New Chairs Have Landed! 🪑

We’ve had some new chairs delivered to the clinic this week, and they’ve definitely been noticed!

They’re roomier and more supportive, and we’ve already had a few comments (all positive!) from clients. In fact, Richard and Kate even managed to squeeze into one together – purely in the name of research, of course! 😄

Take a seat and see what you think!

Today is World Arthritis Day.
Take a look at the website below for useful information about the disease.

Physiotherapy can be a useful aid for people suffering from Arthritis. It can help reduce pain, and improve joint function and mobility.

October 12, World Arthritis Day, was established in 1996 to raise global awareness of arthritis. Every year the Arthritis Foundation elevates this special day to spread the word about the disease’s far-reaching impact.
