Reduce pain and keep moving to keep playing golf/ your passion

Just taught my Dad Terry!) one to one mindfulness Pilates on zoom, doesn’t matter where you live you can always do your Pilates! There is no excuse! My dad is 83-year-old years old, and in his younger days he was an international England table tennis player and has always been really sporty. He was county champion in three sports squash, tennis and table tennis! And his love of sport continues, an avid golfer, he plays several times a week but in more recent times he has suffered with his back and at times experiencing severe pain, limping, terrible posture and affecting his daily life and golf.. 

He has done all the right things, he saw his GP, had x-rays, scoliosis, disc problems showing , he saw the consultant as well as a really good practitioner, he’s been helping with his spine. He’s also helping himself with a lot of daily movement.

He’s been going to the spa daily for an hour for the jet massage in the pool, it’s a bit like hydrotherapy with massage on the Jets which is extremely helpful for the muscles and he exercises and stretches in the lovely warm pool too as well which is really helpful with the Pilates stretches and working on the posture.

He has been practising his Pilates daily for over 23 years And having lessons on and off with me, but now we’re back doing one-to-one Pilates on zoom lessons, so we can take his back to the next level, his posture has really improved lately and pain levels gone down, his posture was already improved after this session of Pilates today. And finally adding in some really good specific back strengthening exercises at a level that is comfortable, That’s really important. 

We are working on opening up the posture limbering up the shoulders and upper body, stretching out the chest and shoulders and encouraging the back to naturally go into its more natural alignment, which in turn will also help the golf. A good effort, well done Dad (Terry) 

Stretching. Improving the posture.

Posture before the lesson (not bad!!)

Posture after 1 hours Pilates, improved. Relax those shoulders!

1 way to build mind body strength

It's been a wonderful work and personal day today, yet all days aren't like that, sunday night I was unwell and had to postpone my monday work, it was so nice today to be back on sparkly form and for that I'm truly grateful. Something that is very apparent lately is how many people have lost their oomph, zest, motivation, enthusiasm, perhaps feeling low, anxious or even depressed. (obviously if you are depressed it's good to seek the advice of a doctor as there is so much help available these days).

Mind body strength comes from many different angles, as you know I have 2 podcasts a week now, my son said to me? Why don't you just have one podcast? Well maybe he's right, but at the moment there feels overall quite a big difference between the two yet the overall goal is to help you with your overall strength and happiness in mind, body and spirit. The thing is when we've been through all sorts of different past stress, it call leave us feeling splat. Yet you can do something about it, things don't have to stay the same, they really don't. But the thing is, its not as easy as waving a magic wand and everything will be sorted and happy, you have to put time and effort in with regular good habits that make you feel better on a daily basis such as having a morning routine.

Do you have one? Even 6 minutes can make a huge difference. this is what I get all my clients to do. Yes some do more, but what they notice that they know they can achieve this and they do. You can too.

I was chatting away to my Mum and sister in the next mindfulness Pilates podcast about motivation and what motivates them and then why they are motivated to do pilates with me.

I carry on the conversation, which you'll love with Author Karen Kay which will be out in next weeks I talk to angels podcast which includes Karen sharing her morning routine, we have something in common there and you can too.

One way I'm helping more and more people with their mindset, happiness and body is with my mind body strength membership. Some go full on seeing me 3 times a week for more rapid results and some weekly, you're welcome to try out a freebie session first or the one to one 6 week programmes available too.

What's unique about my Pilates? of course it includes mindset with positive affirmation cards, a card picked especially for you whilst you stretch or an angel card and starting and ending with meditation. All on zoom forever so it doesn't matter where you live in the world.

you’re now invited to join me at BWT physio at the studio there if you’re local to Poole Dorset


Like brushing our teeth, we have to keep brushing them at least twice a day. Same with our mind body strength, luckily it's enjoyable! See you soon
