Return to Movement: 6-week Programme
Rebuild your strength, confidence, and connection to movement — safely and sustainably.
Getting back into exercise after pain, injury, or chronic health conditions can feel daunting. You might worry about triggering flare-ups, overdoing it, or not knowing where to start.
I know exactly how that feels — because I’ve been there myself.
Living with rheumatoid arthritis, Achilles tendonitis, an inflamed hip bursa, a torn rotator cuff, and fibromyalgia, I’ve had to carefully rebuild my own strength and movement from the ground up.
Through this process, I developed a system that helped me return to exercise while gently resetting my nervous system and avoiding flare-ups. That’s what inspired the Return to Movement Programme — a 6-week guided plan to help others in the same situation regain confidence, mobility, and strength.
How It Works
This programme focuses on meeting your body where it’s at. We start slowly, build progressively, and teach you how to listen to your body’s feedback along the way.
Step 1: Initial Session
A short introductory consultation where we discuss your:
- Pain levels and movement history
- Current injuries or medical conditions
- Medications and relevant health factors
- Goals for returning to movement
Step 2: Coaching Session
A personalized 30-40 minute session where I take you through your tailored exercise and stretch plan, designed specifically for your body’s current capabilities. You’ll learn how to move safely and with confidence.
You’ll also receive a 6-week movement planner, complete with:
- Space to track pain and progress
- Weekly planning templates
- Guidelines on how to safely progress without flaring
