Breathing is something we do all day without thinking about it. But how you breathe has a big impact on how your body moves, holds tension, and responds to exercise.

What I notice with many of my clients is they don’t breathe deeply or even know how to take deep breaths through their nose. Breathing influences so many other systems in the body, so it’s an important part of the work I do.

When people hear “core strength”, they often think of sit-ups or planks. In reality, your core isn’t about the exercises you do but more about how you move on a day to day basis.

Your core supports almost every movement you make, standing up, walking, lifting, reaching, hanging out washing, even sitting.

Shuffling when walking isn’t just part of ageing — it’s a warning sign. Learn why it happens, the risks involved, and how to prevent falls through movement.
