Classes and Seminars
In addition to our one-to-one therapy sessions, we also run regular in-person and online courses, held over Zoom.
Our online courses are recorded and made available to clients enjoy or revisit if they are unable to attend.
Functional Movement
Our movement classes explore how the human body develops as a baby, with a strong emphasis on correct breathing mechanics. If you find crunches, sit-ups and v-sits don’t agree with your neck and back, try this.
We focus on key techniques we can use to unlock the true potential of the core using exercises designed to optimise breath mechanics, eye movement and balance to stimulate the brain and overwrite bad-habits.
Better Breathing
Using the practices of Buteyko Breathing, the Physio-East Better Breathing seminar covers progressive breathing practices including, breathing during speech, nose breathing and breathing during exercise.
Better Running
Appropriate for everyone, whether you’re now getting into running or a seasoned athlete. This seminar teaches running-specific drills based on leading research, allowing for greater efficiency and reduced injury risk.
Better Riding
As experienced equestrians, our Better Riding seminars focus on core strength, breath mechanics and asymmetries in riders to improve canter transitions, circling on both sides, and make yard-work work for you.
Breathing
How we breathe affects our skeleton, our biochemistry and our brain function. Good health starts with good breathing.
