Last week our very own Tom, Rehabilitation Therapist, visited the School of Anatomy to sharpen his skills alongside the students from the Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Course at the SGS Higher Education & University Centre where he lectures.

This wasn’t textbook learning…

In this session they dived deep into musculoskeletal anatomy - working hands-on with real dissected limbs to explore the intricate detail of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in their true form 💪🦵

There’s nothing quite like seeing anatomy up close to truly understand how the body moves, heals and performs.

Expertise built on experience - and constant learning!

Candy Minshall, Co-Director of the Walnut Grove Wellbeing Community Interest Company (WGWCIC), has been reflecting on a year of strength, balance and belonging for the not-for-profit arm of the clinic in 2025.

Candy brings her experience and energy to Walnut Grove and has been instrumental in helping grow and flourish the WGWCIC.

“2025 was a standout year for Walnut Grove Wellbeing CIC, deepening its commitment to community health and connection. Across our programmes, people have been supported to move with greater confidence, build strength, and stay socially engaged, often discovering new possibilities for wellbeing along the way.”

Highlights from last year included:
💚 Falls Prevention - helping participants improve balance, strength, and independence, with many continuing their wellbeing journey in other classes. The course returns on Friday 27th March – more info to follow soon.
💪 Senior Strong - now welcoming 80+ people most weeks, boosting physical strength, confidence, and social connection for older adults.
🧘 Zen & Tone - our new gentle movement class blending calm, focus, and strength.

We’re excited to build on this momentum in 2026 and continue offering subsidised, inclusive health and movement therapy for our Portishead community.

Most people ignore pain until it becomes unbearable. But your body gives warning signs long before that.

Here are 3 signs you should see an osteopath 👇

1️⃣ Your pain keeps coming back. You stretch, rest, maybe take painkillers… but the pain always returns. This often means the root cause hasn’t been addressed. Osteopathy looks at how your whole body is working together, not just where it hurts.
2️⃣ You feel stiff or restricted - not just sore. If you struggle to turn your neck, bend your back, or feel “locked up,” it could be joint or muscle restriction. Osteopaths focus on restoring movement so your body can heal and function properly.
3️⃣ Pain is affecting your daily life. Poor sleep, difficulty working, avoiding exercise, or constant discomfort aren’t things you should just put up with. Osteopathy aims to reduce pain and help you get back to living normally.

You don’t need to wait until pain is severe. Early treatment often leads to faster, better results.

This could be you! 💪🫵💚

Here is what one person has to say after completing the last Women's Strong class with us and Functional Fitness Portishead

"I feel healthier, more confident, and proud of what I’ve achieved.”

We love hearing stories like this from our Women’s Strong course in partnership with F2 and
Empowerment, growth, and surprising yourself with what you’re truly capable of — that’s what it’s all about.

After the success of the North Somerset Council UK SPF funded 'Menolates' Pilates courses over the last year, we are bringing it back!

The feedback was that people wanted access to these classes again or for those who missed out on spaces last time due to the huge unprecedented popularity.

So, Menolates will be starting 12th May 7-7.45pm at Walnut Grove Studio for 6 weeks at a low cost of £42 for the whole course, payable after reserving your space.

The aim of these courses is to introduce you to various aspects of Pilates and the benefits it can help you with at a time when you may feel less confident with exercise through the menopause - Menolates! And hopefully this will give you the confidence to progress and explore Pilates or other exercise to help you in your journey.

This course is open to anyone - whether you did the previous course and want to revisit it or if you have never done Pilates before and want to see how it can help you then this is for YOU!

Just email candy@walnutgrovewellbeingcic.com to reserve your spot.

Places are VERY limited with just 5 left up for grabs on a first come first served basis so be QUICK!
