Movement & Exercise

We all know that movement and exercise are essential for health and wellbeing. Engaging in activities that you enjoy – whether it’s walking, running, dancing, cycling, or swimming – nourishes not just your body, but also your mind and spirit

Professional physiotherapist with extensive experience in movement and rehabilitation.

Expert Knowledge

Deep understanding of musculoskeletal issues and their prevention through proper movement.

Proven Results

Successful rehabilitation stories and continuous support for lasting results.

As a physiotherapist, I’ve observed a noticeable decline in overall muscle strength, particularly core strength, due to our increasingly sedentary lifestyles. This weakness often leads to poor posture and contributes to a wide range of musculoskeletal issues.

That’s why I believe it’s crucial to build a strong foundation by mastering basic movement patterns that originate from the core. Understanding how to move your body and which muscles are involved allows you to strengthen them properly, creating a strong and resilient body capable of withstanding the demands of both daily activities and exercise.

We’re far less likely to experience pain or injury with a strong, flexible, resilient body; even when you have pre-existing conditions. I have chondromalacia patellae “runner’s knee” in both knee joints, which cause swelling, pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Through strength and mobility exercises, I no longer experience those symptoms and can run half marathons in my late forties.
To help others achieve this freedom of movement and enjoy activities they love, I’ve created exercise routines designed with attention to detail, emphasizing proper form and muscle engagement. It’s about quality over quantity, ensuring that every movement counts.

If you have any health concerns that may affect your ability to exercise, I strongly recommend seeking medical advice before engaging in any of these routines. With every routine, always listen to your body, move within your comfort zone and stop if you experience any pain.

5:30pm – Foundations of Strength: Core, Mobility, and Flexibility for Everyday Resilience 

This class is designed for everyone—regardless of activity levels—who feels their body isn’t as strong, mobile, or flexible as it could be. Whether due to sedentary jobs, busy lifestyles, or simply the effects of modern living, this class offers physio-led, specific exercises targeted at improving physical health. It focuses on: 

  • Core Strength: Foundational exercises to support the spine, enhance posture, improve balance, and create a stable base for all daily movements. 
  • Mobility: Targeted movements designed to restore range of motion, reduce stiffness, and promote ease of movement in everyday activities. 
  • Flexibility: Purposeful stretching practices to relieve tight muscles, counteract poor posture, and encourage relaxation and overall physical harmony. 
  • Functional Strength: Full-body strengthening exercises aimed at improving movement patterns, enhancing coordination, and building the strength needed for better performance in daily life and physical activities. 

This beginner-to-intermediate class emphasizes mindful movement, allowing participants to reconnect with their bodies, learn how to move properly using the right muscles, and develop an understanding of how their bodies work to move well and avoid injury. 

Whether you’re looking to prevent injury, feel more confident in your movements, or simply honour your body’s potential, this class provides a supportive and empowering space to nourish your health and wellbeing. Let’s work together to create stronger, more resilient bodies and enjoy the freedom of movement that comes with it!
