Maybe you're still walking, exercising, gardening, travelling or playing sport, but you've started wondering whether you're as strong, steady or mobile as you used to be.

Or perhaps you feel absolutely fine and want to keep it that way.

My 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗢𝗧 is designed for women after menopause and into later life who want to stay active, strong and independent.

During your MOT, we'll look at five key areas of physical function, including your strength, balance, mobility and flexibility. We'll also screen for joint, pelvic health and bone health concerns.

You'll find out what's going well, where you could improve and what you can do now to help you keep doing the things you love for years to come.

You don't need to have a specific problem to book.

What to see what I have been doing in my limited spare time??! I have dusted off the pastels and started creating some artwork again.

Back to pastels

And here he is — my first proper pastel picture in around six years.

After a couple of little experiments to get used to pastels again, I wanted to tackle something more substantial. I loved the reference for this one, particularly the raccoon peering out from the old tree and all the different textures in the wood.

It’s taken quite a few hours, but I’ve really enjoyed watching him gradually come to life.

Not sure which Pilates class would suit you best?

I offer a range of physiotherapist-led Pilates classes, so whether you're looking to reduce pain, improve your mobility, keep active or challenge yourself a little more, there's a class to suit you.

🟣 Small Group Clinical Pilates – ideal if pain or stiffness is stopping you doing the things you enjoy.

🪑 Chair Pilates – perfect if you'd like to improve your strength, mobility, balance and confidence to help you stay active and independent.

⚡ Express Pilates – a 30-minute, slightly faster-paced class if you're short on time.

💪 Intermediate & Advanced Pilates – suitable for those with Pilates experience and looking for more challenging exercises.

If you're not sure which class is right for you, just get in touch. I'll happily point you in the right direction.

"It's helped me beyond my expectations. I feel happier and healthier for it."
— Carly B

One of the best parts of my job is seeing people realise that they can exercise, even if they've been putting it off because of pain, stiffness or a previous injury.

Because I'm a Physiotherapist, I can adapt exercises to suit different abilities and medical conditions, helping people exercise safely and with confidence.

Whether you're looking for Small Group Clinical Pilates, Chair Pilates, Express Pilates or a more challenging class, there's something to suit a range of abilities.

Don't have an hour to spare?

One of the reasons I introduced Express Pilates was because I know life is busy. Sometimes fitting in a 30-minute class is much more realistic than trying to find an hour.

It's a slightly faster-paced class, but it's still physiotherapist-led and based on the same Pilates principles as my other classes. The exercises can still be adapted if needed, and the focus is always on helping you move well.

It's ideal if you're looking for an efficient workout to build strength, improve mobility, keep active and get a cardio workout.

What's the difference between my Pilates classes and a typical fitness Pilates class?

As a Physiotherapist, I don't expect everyone to do exactly the same exercises.

My classes are based on the principles of Pilates, but exercises can be adapted to suit your body, your goals and any injuries or medical conditions you may have.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing aches and pains, improving your pelvic health or simply wanting to build strength and stay active, I'll help you exercise safely and confidently.

From Chair Pilates through to Small Group Clinical Pilates, Express Pilates and Intermediate & Advanced Pilates, there's a class to suit a range of abilities and goals.

𝗜𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆?

If you're finding it harder to walk as far as you used to, feeling a little less steady on your feet or simply not moving as easily, Chair Pilates could be a great place to start.

These classes are led by an experienced Physiotherapist and are designed to improve strength, mobility, balance and confidence in a friendly, supportive environment.

You'll work at your own pace, and if an exercise isn't right for you, I'll always give you an alternative.

Many people tell me they come for the exercise but keep coming because they enjoy the class and the people.

Is pain or stiffness stopping you doing the things you love?

Whether it's walking the dog, gardening, playing with the grandchildren or simply getting up from the floor, aches and pains can gradually make us do less than we'd like.

My Small Group Clinical Pilates classes are based on the principles of Pilates, combined with physiotherapy expertise. That means exercises can be adapted to suit your body, whether you're recovering from an injury, managing ongoing aches and pains or simply finding you're not moving as well as you used to.

The aim isn't to push through pain – it's to help you move more easily, build strength and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

✔ Physiotherapist-led
✔ Small group classes
✔ Exercises adapted to suit you
✔ Friendly and supportive

**Does anyone know someone who might be interested?**

I'm looking for an Associate Clinical Pilates Instructor to provide occasional cover for my physio-led Clinical Pilates classes at Thrive and Shine Women's Wellness Ltd in Winscombe.

Initially it's ad hoc evening cover for holidays, illness and planned leave, with the potential for regular classes and additional cover in the future.

I'm happy to hear from experienced instructors, but I'd also love to hear from newly qualified Physiotherapists or Sport Rehabilitators who have completed APPI Clinical Pilates Level 1 & 2. If you're newly qualified, I'm happy to provide mentoring and support to help build your confidence teaching classes.

If you know a local Physio or Sport Rehabilitator who might be interested, I'd really appreciate it if you could tag them or share this post.
