HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR PLACE YET?

“BUT I’M NOT MENOPAUSAL YET…”
Perfectly fine.
“I’m already postmenopausal…”
Also perfectly fine.
Janine’s class isn’t defined by what box you tick or what stage of life you think you should be at.
Hormonal changes can begin before we expect them, and some symptoms can continue long after menopause itself.
That’s why the class is suitable for women who want to prepare for what may be ahead, those navigating perimenopause and menopause now, and those who are postmenopausal.
It’s a chance to slow things down and explore gentle movement, breathing, relaxation and some of the other tools Janine uses in her wider workshops.
No need to decide whether you’re “the right age”.
If you’d like to know whether the class could be right for you, contact Bridgeham and Janine will be very happy to chat.

World Arthritis Day
This week we’re talking about arthritis and movement, because arthritis doesn’t only affect people who have retired.

Maybe you’re at a desk for hours, commuting, sitting through meetings or working from home, then wondering why your back, hips, knees or hands feel stiff when you finally get up.

Movement may look a little different when you have arthritis, but that doesn’t mean giving it up.

What would you like your body to keep letting you do?

Get through a working day more comfortably? Take the stairs? Exercise after work? Sit at your desk without feeling like you’ve aged 20 years by 5pm?

Our Osteopathy and Physiotherapy teams can help you understand how you’re moving, while our classes can support strength, mobility, balance and confidence.

Class update, week commencing 12 October
- All regular classes are running as scheduled
- Saturday 17 October, 10:00 to 11:30am: Menopause Yoga with Janine (NEW)

You don’t have to choose between keeping moving and listening to your body.

Sometimes it’s about finding the right way to do both.

New to Bridgeham classes? Your first class is FREE.

WHAT’S ONE THING YOU WANT YOUR BODY TO KEEP LETTING YOU DO?

Have you ever actually thought about it?

Maybe you’re 30 and want to keep playing the sport you love.

Maybe you’re a single woman in your 50s who wants to throw her own suitcase in the car, head off on an adventure and know her body can keep up.

Maybe you’re 70 and have absolutely no intention of slowing down, thank you very much.

It’s different for all of us.

And perhaps that’s a better way to think about looking after our bodies.

Not “I should exercise because I’m getting older.”

But “What do I want my body to still let me do?”

At Bridgeham, whether it’s Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Pilates, Garuda or Rehab & Strength, we’re here to help you keep doing more of the things that make your life, your life

So, over to you…

What’s the ONE thing you’d hate to have to give up?

Does this sound familiar?

“My shoulders never seem to relax.”
“My back is always tense.”
“I’m not sleeping properly.”
“My mind just won’t switch off.”
“I’m exhausted, but I keep pushing through.”
“I’m in pain, and it’s starting to affect how I feel.”

Sometimes our mental wellbeing shows up in ways we don’t immediately connect with mental health.

At Bridgeham, we look at the whole person.

That might mean seeing an Osteopath or Physiotherapist to help with pain and movement, easing tension with massage or acupuncture, rebuilding confidence through movement, or finding ways to slow things down with hypnotherapy, meditation, yoga or Pranic Healing.

There isn’t one right way to look after yourself.

On World Mental Health Day, perhaps it starts with one simple question:

How are you, really? 💚

And if some of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to give yourself a little attention.

If you feel one of our therapies could support you, you’re always welcome to get in touch with the Bridgeham team or book an appointment when the time feels right.

💀 Friday Funny

Waiting for the kids to tidy their rooms…

At this rate, we might need to add bone health to the list of things to worry about. 😂

October at Bridgeham is all about keeping those bones, muscles and joints moving well through midlife, menopause and beyond.

Strength work, Pilates, Garuda, Rehab & Strength, Osteopathy and Physiotherapy can all play a part in helping you stay active and doing the things you enjoy.

Because we’d quite like you to be Moving Marvellously for Life…

Book your free assessment today.

Preferably before the kids finally pick up their socks. 💀

🍂 Harvest time is a time for giving 🍂

Hayley and I are heading to Crawley Open House to hear how their year has been and, as a team at Bridgeham, how we can continue to support the incredible work they do in our local community.

We already provide a monthly lunch, but we’d love to do more.

That’s where you can help too. ❤️

We have a Crawley Open House collection point in Bridgeham reception, so if you’re able to donate, please bring something along when you’re next at the clinic.

They’re always grateful for:

• Small bottles of water
• Tinned meat, fish, fruit & vegetables
• Tinned soup, potatoes, beans & spaghetti
• Long-life milk
• Cereal, tea, coffee & sugar
• Pasta/cooking sauces
• Cooking oil
• Jam, marmalade, peanut butter & honey
• Instant noodles
• Custard & rice pudding
• Biscuits, chocolate & sweets

Crawley Open House provides around 48,000 meals each year, as well as emergency food parcels for people experiencing food crisis. Much of what they provide comes directly from donations from people in the local community.

And that got me thinking about something a little closer to home.

I recently set myself the challenge of walking the 100-mile South Downs Way.

I didn’t make it to the end. After 46 miles, my knees eventually said enough on those challenging downhill sections.

I was gutted. It knocked my confidence and, if I’m honest, my mental health too. (A bit Broken not brilliant 🤦🏻‍♀️)

But I had to remind myself that doing your best is still doing something.

I didn’t complete 100 miles but I did complete 46.

And perhaps that’s the same with giving. We don’t have to be able to do everything. A little can still mean a lot to someone else.

So this Harvest, whether it’s a tin from your cupboard, a bag of essentials, a donation or simply sharing this post - do what you can.

❤️ Together, small things can make a big difference.

And if you’re anyway, pop something into our collection point, stay for a cuppa or join us for a class. ☕️

🙏 If you’d prefer to make a donation, you can support Crawley Open House

Bones like a bit of pressure 🦴

When we think about looking after our bones, calcium and vitamin D often spring to mind. But movement matters too.

Bones respond to the demands we place on them. The right kind of loading encourages them to adapt and helps maintain bone strength.

And before you picture hours in the gym or lifting enormous weights, it doesn’t have to be scary.

Walking briskly, taking the stairs, tackling a few hills, strength exercises and suitable impact activities can all help. The key is finding the right level for you and building gradually.

This becomes particularly important as we get older and during and after menopause, when maintaining bone density, muscle strength and balance matters even more.

At Bridgeham, our team can help you understand what movement is appropriate for your body, particularly if pain, injury or confidence is currently holding you back.
Not sure where to start, or worried that pain might get in the way?

Our Bridgeham team can help you find the right kind of movement and loading for you.

October is all about keeping you moving

As we head into a new week, our focus is on strength, movement and confidence, particularly if you’ve been told you should be doing more, but your body isn’t quite convinced yet.

This week’s thought:
“I’ve been told to lift weights… but what if it hurts?”

That’s where getting the right support matters. Our Osteopathy and Physiotherapy teams can help you understand what may be causing discomfort and how to move forwards safely.

And when you’re ready, our classes offer different ways to build strength, balance, mobility and confidence at your own level. Getting stronger doesn’t have to mean suddenly picking up heavy weights.

Class changes, week commencing 5 October
- Thursday 8 October: No Pilates Plus Circuit
- Friday 9 October: Yoga Foundations is back with Janine at 10:30am
- All other classes are running as scheduled October 2026 Class Schedule

New to Bridgeham classes?
Your first class is FREE. Bring a new friend along and you’ll both get that class FREE. October 2026 Class Schedule
Start where you are. Build from there. And keep Moving Marvellously for Life.

What do you still want to be doing at 70, 80 or 90?

Walking the dog? Gardening? Travelling? Dancing at family weddings? Getting down on the floor with the grandchildren and managing to get back up again?

During and after menopause, looking after our muscles, bones, balance and movement becomes increasingly important.

It isn’t about trying to stay young forever.

It’s about helping your body stay strong enough for the life you want to keep living.

So, what would your answer be?

Tell us in the comments. 💙🧡
