Yesterday was a reminder to listen to my body. I definitely overdid it and didn’t manage to make the squad meeting in the afternoon — I just couldn’t sit in front of a screen on Zoom any longer.

That day I worked with six clients, recorded six videos, and taught two classes. Honestly, that’s enough for anyone. Today, though, I’m feeling really good again 🙏

It’s also a good reminder to look back at what we’ve done. One of my clients was in quite a lot of pain on Monday… until she remembered that on Saturday she’d worn high heels for five or six hours — for the first time in years. So yes, that was payback time.

Our bodies always keep the score. Be kind to them, and don’t forget to join the dots. www.carolinejclarke.com

Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of faith.
When you start something new, you have to believe in it. If you go in doubting every step, every word, and every process, it’s never going to work. Belief is where change begins.

As a Push Alignment Specialist, I see this every day. Even people with very severe scoliosis have to start somewhere — and often that start is lying down. From there, we teach the body how to come back into alignment. The exercises aren’t just movements; they’re lessons for the body, showing it where it should be

Don’t chase the pain. Chase what’s obvious.

I had a client come in with sciatica — that was the symptom.
But what jumped out at me straight away wasn’t his lower back or leg.

It was his upper body.

He was compensating big time — shoulders slightly hinged forward, upper body doing far more work than it should. So instead of treating the label (sciatica), I went after what looked wrong posturally.

We tested it.

• We did lower-body work → pain stayed
• We did upper-body work → pain went

Same client. Same symptom. Different focus.

That’s the real lesson here.

Pain doesn’t always come from where you feel it.
Compensation travels. The body adapts. And if you only chase symptoms, you’ll often miss the cause.

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t asking “where does it hurt?”
It’s asking “what doesn’t look right?”

That’s where the change happens.

Day 3 of sit-ups and feeling stronger already
But here’s the secret most people miss…
Your power doesn’t just come from your core — it starts from the ground up.

Your feet are your foundation.
When they’re alive, strong and dextrous, the whole body wakes up. Your balance improves. Your posture lifts. Your confidence rises.

So today, stand tall.
Feel the floor beneath you.
Spread your toes, switch on your feet, and let that strength rise all the way up through your body and into your day.

Build your foundation. Build your power. Keep showing up. You’ve got this. www.carolinejclarke.com

Starting your sit-ups with a pillow behind your back gives you a gentle boost so you’re not straining or forcing the movement. It helps you keep good alignment while your core learns to do the work.

Sit-ups help with:
* Stronger core muscles
*Better posture and spinal support
*Improved balance + stability
*Easier, more efficient everyday movement

Remember — don’t overdo it. Slow, controlled reps build real strength.
We’re getting stronger and more aligned, one rep at a time. www.carolinejclarke.com

Celebrating the small wins that make the biggest difference

I started working with a new client this week who hasn’t been able to work since September. Her body just wasn’t letting her do the things she needed to do… and the frustration, worry, and loss of confidence had really built up over time.

But here’s the beautiful part —
on day TWO of working together, she’s already feeling brighter, stronger, and more like herself again.

This is why I love what I do.
It’s not just about movement.
It’s about rebuilding trust in your body, finding confidence again, and realising you can feel good — sometimes faster than you think.

Here’s to more progress, more ease, and more moments where everything starts to fall back into place.

If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected from your body, you don’t have to go through it alone. My messages are always open. www.carolinejclarke.com

Just think about what you’ve been up to over the past few days — that’s usually where the discomfort comes from. It doesn’t disappear overnight; you’ve really got to work on it.

Yesterday I barely drank any water and woke up with flashing lights and a migraine this morning. Two big drinks of water later… completely gone. www.carolinejclarke.com

And a little Christmas reminder: be extra careful with candles! I nearly set the house alight yesterday. 😅🎄🔥

Yesterday I was really hurting and couldn’t quite figure out why… until it hit me. The day before, I’d walked about a mile and a half carrying a heavy bag packed with stuff, plus a backpack, and I wasn’t walking level at all. My posture was completely off – and my body let me know about it the next day.

It’s funny how we often forget the things we put our bodies through, and then we’re surprised when the aches show up later. But it was a good reminder of how much posture and alignment really matter.

So, going forward, I’m building a new routine focused on checking in with my body, strengthening it, and keeping everything supported and balanced. I’m putting together a simple strength and posture-alignment programme where I’ll answer a few questions, do specific exercises, and track what I can and can’t do. Then, over the next month, I’ll see how things improve.

It’s all about awareness, alignment, and slowly getting stronger – so the next time life hands me a heavy load, my body is ready for it, not recovering from it. www.carolinejclarke.com

Today I had the chance to reconnect with a client I hadn’t seen in a while, and her body had been giving her a bit of trouble. One side just wasn’t doing its job the way it should, and her thoracic spine and shoulders were working overtime to compensate.

Our session focused on reminding the body how to work with itself again—teaching the right muscles to activate when needed and helping the overworked ones finally switch off. It’s amazing how much can change when we create balance, awareness, and proper movement patterns.

I absolutely love doing this work and I’m so grateful for everyone who trusts me to help them feel and move better. 💛 www.carolinejclarke.com

Why “Soft Knees” Matter When You Walk 👣

I’ve noticed a pattern with a lot of new clients: they lock their knees as they walk.
When the knees become the body’s main source of stability, everything up the chain starts working overtime — especially the lower back.

Learning to walk with softer, more relaxed knees creates a smoother footfall, reduces tension, and takes the pressure off the spine. Your body moves more naturally, and that achy-back feeling often starts to ease.

And don’t forget the arms! A gentle arm swing is part of your natural gait pattern. It helps counterbalance the legs and keeps your whole body moving in sync.

Small adjustments → big results.
Move softer. Move smarter. 💫www.carolinejclarke.com
