Morning light in the studio. #stockbridge #edinburgh #pilatesforpain

That feeling when you attend a Pilates workshop and one of the teachers comes over to ask you to sign your book 😍😍😍

Ask anyone over 40 how they are feeling and there's a decent chance they will say something hurts. We accept pain, especially joint and muscle pain, as a normal part of life after a certain age. But ask those same people if they have chronic pain and probably half will say no.

BACK TO SCHOOL! Now officially a postgraduate student at @edinburghnapier.bsky.social, completing an MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology!

Interrupting this ongoing cleanup to let you know that my #Stockbridge studio is almost finished! I'm opening for a max of 5 clients in September. If you or someone you know is looking to get active after chronic pain and/or illness, book a discovery call: movementremedies.as.me/discoveryses...

Looking forward to the next Book Club for Movers meeting with Maria Earle!

I'm so excited about this virtual class format that makes Pilates available to everyone who finds it difficult to get on a Mat on the floor. And that's A LOT of people! Using a basic kitchen chair and 2 cans from your pantry, we work on strength, mobility and balance in seated and standing.

New blog post is up: Guiding principles for teaching movement to people with chronic pain.

I really want to get back into a regular yoga practice for mobility and relaxation. Can anyone recommend an #edinburgh yoga studio that doesn't do heated classes? I feel like every place I look at only has hot classes and this #perimenopausal woman doesn't need added heat when I exercise!! #iykyk

The challenge of adapting pain neuroscience education materials to new settings.

Yay! Next #efic Congress will be in #Scotland!

Sunday self-care at @thebotanics.bsky.social Self-care takes many forms. For me... Water colour painting is a very effective mindfulness-promoting activity.

Just one more week until the @efic.bsky.social conference in Lyon. Will you be there? I'd love to connect with other European movement coaches specialising in chronic pain.

So close....1 month away from finally being in our own home in #Edinburgh. It's been such a long journey.

Help me get rid of these before I move! Sending out signed copies for free to #Scotland and #UnitedKingdom friends!!
