One-to-One Coaching / 60 mins
Assess & work with foot mobility, balance & integrated whole body movement
At my 1st floor home studio in Ouse Lea, Clifton Green YO30 6SA
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 this session…
Depending on your interests, we will experience most or all of the following:
Foot function mobility assessment &/or balance assessment, as appropriate
Foot foundation warm up ideas - we do these together so you can learn them for later at home
Foot strength & mobility training exercises - several to suit you. I demo, then we do them together
Introduction to balance - practise a few balance stances
Learning about keeping in the Goldilocks Zone for enjoyment and stress-free learning
Playing with levels - upping the level via different types of challenge, or easing the level via smart adaptations
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
Pdf copy of the exercises we did in session will be sent to you later via WhatsApp or email
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
Who is this good for
This could be for you if you want…
to improve movements for daily life, sports or leisure activities - with more skill and less strain
to prevent injury, build joint resilience and support any rehab
to be anti-fragile, safeguard your future independence - avoid falls, fractures & fear
to start a new foot-first movement practice for life
Future progression
There are plenty of directions you can take this in.
Come to a playful workshop for a more social way to practise your balance abilities and natural foot movement skills.
If you come for further coaching sessions we can build on your progress, according to your interests, choosing from:
More specific balance training and progressions
More mobility training for feet, ankles, knees, hips & everything above - ready for strength work to build on this too if you choose
A structured plan to prepare your feet to transition to more minimalist shoes over time
Work with specific movement patterns and drills to address common foot conditions, or I can refer you to clinical foot professionals
More emphasis on honing your body awareness - your dynamic positions in space (proprioception) & other sensations (touch, pressure). This enhances your body-to-brain connections and results in more accurate mind-muscle movement control
More ground-based locomotion (primal) moves & flows - crawling and more - these are brilliant for all-round mobility, range of motion and strength
Larger whole-body movements that are part of your natural human birth right, such as squatting, hanging, swinging, carrying, vaulting
