Physical Finesse

It’s official! I will be graduating from Cardiff University with a First Class Honour degree in Physiotherapy.

This feels incredibly surreal.

I went back to university just before I turned 30, after a horrific car accident changed my life forever.

I was determined to be the light in other people’s lives, that my Physiotherapists were for me, as I learnt to walk again.

I have literally worked my a**e off & honestly, I couldn’t be more proud of everything I’ve achieved in the last 4 years:

- Level 2 diploma in Gym Instructing
- Level 3 diploma in Personal Training
- Level 4 diploma in Sports Massage Therapy
- Dynamic Reformer Pilates Instructor
- A first class honour degree in Physiotherapy

Oh, & I set up half way through my degree too!!

What a 4 years!!

Here’s to the next 4, hey? 💫

Please read this if you’re considering going to reformer Pilates classes with more than 6 reformer beds.

This article was published in over the weekend & I THANK THE LORD it was, as over the last few months, I have been feeling more & more unsettled by what I have been hearing & seeing online when it comes to reformer Pilates.

Over the last few months I’ve been watching the popularity of reformer Pilates soar.

I’ve also been watching some absolutely ludicrous movements being performed on the reformer, by various online accounts, including more than one person using the same reformer at the same time & the reformer being used as a piece of cardio equipment.

Reformer Pilates is supposed to be slow, controlled, mindful movement.

That is how it works.

That is why it works.

Those who have followed me for a while have seen the content I upload. This is how reformer Pilates is supposed to be performed.

Carefully & with control.

This is NOT me bashing the industry, this is merely me raising concern for the health & safety of the public & the apparent lack of duty of care some gyms & “Pilates” studios seem to have over their clients & users.

PLEASE read this & share it…

… & next time you think about giving it a go, spend some time looking in to the type of studio you’re going to & please check the credentials of the instructor or trainer.

At Physical Finesse WE CARE about you & your health, which is why all of our sessions are Physiotherapist led & on a 1:1 basis.

Sports massage case study & testimonial ⬇️

➡️ Find yourself a therapist that listens to YOUR problems & concerns & seeks to resolve them, not a therapist with their OWN agenda.

Sadly, I hear first hand from clients about previous therapists who have not really listened, not assessed the client effectively, and therefore not actually resolved the presenting complaint…

… leaving the client financially worse off & physically no better off!

⭐️ Sports massage is available from our Barry studio ⭐️

🔥 We also offer MOBILE sports massage, depending on location 🔥

A regular client during her 20th session, proving that age is really just a number!

This incredible client is 71 years old and is by far my most active client attending gym classes, pilates or swimming lessons 5 days a week.

…and it really pays off! She’s the fittest she’s ever been & continues to achieve great things during our sessions.

Proud of you .cooper12 - you’re an inspiration to so many! ✨

✨ Just look at these results! ✨

I took these photos for the client pictured, to show her how her hamstring flexibility would progress in a short space of time, doing Reformer Pilates with me - & I am so glad I did!

These photos were taken on:
- 10th June (clients first session)
- 17th June (clients second session)
- 24th June (clients third session)

Reformer Pilates is a unique blend of strengthening & stretching that creates the perfect environment for your body to become more flexible while also becoming stronger.

I absolutely love this shot 😍
:
This isn’t wedding related I know but when Hannah at asked me to help her out and get some personal branding shots, I was more than up for it! However, when she said she’s starting up her reformer pilates sessions as part of her business, I had no idea what to expect because I knew nothing about reformer Pilates 🤦🏼
:
It was the most fun I’ve ever had on a personal branding/corporate Photoshoot! And some of the shots we got are just “👌”

Do you go to the gym? Or are you keen to start?

Have you been training in the same way for months, or possibly years, on end? Or are you brand new to training & don’t know where to start?

Have you reached a plateau & feel like you’ve stopped progressing? Or are you keen to get going & need some expert guidance?

Have you lost motivation & want to find that spark again? Or do you need someone to keep you accountable in order to implement positive change?

Do you wish you could go to the gym & know exactly what to do without paying for a gym based personal trainer?

Or do you just want to mix it up & explore new training methods?

If any of this sounds familiar, online coaching may be the answer you’re looking for!
