Assess & work with foot mobility, balance & integrated whole body movement

Ouse Lea, Clifton Green YO30 6SA / my 1st floor home studio

• a 50-60 mins coaching session

• with exercises, drills or flows to keep

No matter whether you are new to foot-friendly movement restoration or more experienced, I offer coaching and education at your level to help you work on:

• freeing your feet, training your toes

• restoring balance

• exploring using foot-friendly footwear

• feeling more grounded from the feet up…ankles, knees, hips, back & beyond

• moving with more ease and confidence

All with tools and science backed techniques researched and used by holistic physiotherapists & podiatrists The Foot Collective.

During your session…

Depending on your interests and whether this is a first or follow-up session, we will experience a selection of the following:

1. Foot function mobility assessment

2. Foot foundation warm up ideas - we do these together so you can learn them for later at home

3. Foot strength & mobility training exercises - several to suit you. I demo, then we do them together

4. Balance assessment

5. Introduction to balance - we practise a few basic balance stances

6. Learning about keeping in the Goldilocks Zone for enjoyment and stress-free learning. I guide you to:

   • tune into your comfort or otherwise so that we can respond to you

   • play with the difficulty / intensity levels - upping the level via different types of challenge, or easing the level via smart adaptations

7. Intro to any of:

   • exploring foot-friendly minimalist footwear, if you don’t currently use this

   • larger movements such as various squats

   • ground-based movements, such as sitting comfortably on the ground, the sit to stand to sit test

   • more advanced moves to suit

After the session

I will send you (by email or WhatsApp) a pdf copy of the exercises we did in the session for you to work with later at home.

Can anyone do this?

Pretty much!

• any age, ability and experience

• if you can stand (with or without support of a wall or chair) or even if you are restricted to sitting in a chair at the moment

I particularly enjoy working with people who lack confidence with movement or are returning to it after injury, illness or just a long break for the many reasons that life throws our way.

What should I wear?

• everyday clothes are fine, as long as you can move freely and feel comfortable

• sports kit is also fine if you prefer

• please come ready to take your shoes off, as we will preferably move in bare feet at least some of the time

• please bring your clean tootsies & any cuts or sores covered with plasters

Make progress with foot mobility, natural movement & balance / 30 mins

Ouse Lea, Clifton Green YO30 6SA / my 1st floor home studio

• a 30-min catch up

• with any new exercises or variations sent on afterwards

A short catch up can be ideal for a follow-up session, assuming you have no brand new topics or challenges to work on. We will have a quick chat to review progress since your previous session, so we can build on what you have been doing so far.

• Try out more challenging versions of the movements you have been working with

• Add new variations or different exercises to meet the same goals

• Regress or tweak any moves that haven’t been working for you

If you want a change in focus or you have completely new goals, you may prefer to book a 60-minute session.

After the session

I will send you (email or WhatsApp) a pdf copy of any new exercises we did in session for you to work with later at home.
