Until now I literally froze if someone asked for a couple of exercises for their back pain ! I thought I was such a fraud 😆. I thought “what is wrong with me” - I literally couldn’t answer without going off on a rambling rant about so many things that could help. I usually ended on “it’s just not that simple” 🤣

But now after working with so many people and getting great results I realised that I don’t give exercises for specific areas of pain! I’m training YOU - your system, your body, your future self.

And now I wouldn’t have it any other way!

SOMA’S SMALL GROUP MOVEMENT COACHING

I’ve been exploring how to support women who want to improve how they move, slow movement down a little, understand their bodies better and benefit from being part of a small, supportive group.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that many women don’t need harder exercise.

They need help reconnecting with muscles that have become weak, underused or difficult to access. They want to understand their compensation strategies, feel stronger, in control and more confident in how their bodies move and function.

That’s what inspired this new Small Group Movement Coaching Programme.

Designed for women 40+ who want to improve movement quality, rebuild strength, reconnect with their core and pelvic floor, and develop greater confidence in their bodies.

The programme will include:

✨ Monthly 1:1 coaching

✨ Monthly movement coaching sessions built around the group’s questions and movement challenges

✨ Self-led movement sessions via the TrainHeroic app

✨ Community support throughout the programme

The first cohort will run for 12 weeks from September and will be limited to 6 women.

If you’re curious whether this could be the right fit for you, send me a DM with the word MOVE and I’ll send you the “is this right for me” form!

TRAIN THE SYSTEM

How cool is this? 🤯

Did you know? 👇

👉 The pelvic floor and deep core are designed to work together as part of a pressure management and trunk stability system.

👉 Pregnancy and childbirth can alter the strength, timing, and coordination of this system. That’s why postpartum rehabilitation should focus on restoring the coordinated function of the pelvic floor, breathing, and deep abdominal muscles—not just strengthening one muscle in isolation.

👉 This is one of the many things we’ll be working on in SOMAS Small Group Coaching, starting 14th September. I’ll be coaching 6 women through progressive movement training to help rebuild strength, coordination, and confidence.

DM me and I’ll send you a quick “Is this right for me?” form.

⭐️ CLIENT REVIEW ⭐️

Having always enjoyed an active lifestyle, with golf a key hobby - a career sitting at a desk really caught up with me as I approached 60 years of age.
Two consecutive years suffering a hamstring tear & various muscular strains that mainly resolved with extended rest - I was ultimately told by physios & sports physicians that HRT may help going forward!
I finally saw a decent pelvic physio that recognised my postural pelvic weakness & referred me to Niamh at Soma Movement for rehab.
I have worked with Niamh for 18 months now, focusing on gluteal strength & general motor mechanics - whilst improving core strength.
I have become a lot more aware of posture, balance & the importance of core strength & flexibility as we age.
I am now in a much better physical state to enjoy an active retirement.
Niamh is incredibly knowledgeable & I would recommend her skills to enhance any physical educational journey

The Squeezy App is known and loved by thousands. I like its convenience, its timer, its emphasis on letting go/relaxing, lengthening.

BUT if you still feel like your efforts haven’t quite translated over to running, jumping or trampoline fun or you want an integrated approach that starts translating to human movement then here’s three things to think about:

1. Learn how to manage pressure within the core canister (this includes the pelvic floor, trunk, diaphragm)

2. Use position to explore left and right. The hip shift here gives me the opportunity to focus on each side and work on hip mobility - your pelvic floor isn’t perfectly symmetrical

3. Integrate not isolate - if all you have learned is too squeeze and let go - then the force of your next cough, squeeze or impact won’t cut the biscuit

🧐 this is ONE piece of the puzzle and is so fantastic for reconnecting, feeling, integrating. The biggest wins come with adding variety, load, impact and YES ultimately automatic function will be on the cards !

⭐️ Movement Revolution course review ⭐️

“I can’t thank you enough for your course, I have absolutely loved it, and didn’t want it to end!! I was so grateful for the time and attention you took to ensure I was getting the movements right and feeling it in the right place, to actually work my glutes for probably the first time in my life, was such a breakthrough!! And in just 10 weeks I had the confidence to start the couch to 5k app without the fear of leaking, the difference I have felt in my body has been incredible. You put me at ease straight away and made me feel I could absolutely achieve my goals. Thank you so much!”

I love to help women make sense of their bodies - to move through physical changes and move past feeling stuck - not just sit with them.
