Hello September!
Hello, September!
September might, on the surface, signal the end of the summer months, those carefree days making the most of longer evenings (or are you feeling down that summer didn't really arrive), fret not, all is not lost.
September is a wonderful midpoint between the end of summer and the start of Autumn that eases us into the colder months.
So, if you’re feeling down about the end of summer, we have a few reasons to convince you that September is actually the best month…

NEW CLASS STARTING SEPTEMBER
To Help You Connect Better to Your Core and Pelvic Floor
If using your pelvic floor seems really overwhelming, there is still time to sign up for this 6-week course, to make it simple and achievable.
How do you strengthen your Pelvic Floor?
When I first started strengthening my pelvic floor after getting my Pelvic Organ Prolapse diagnosis, I realised that it was much more than just Kegel’s. Below are the 7 areas of focus for a gold standard pelvic floor:
- The pelvic floor itself - learn to contract and release so that it’s dynamic in function
- Posture and alignment - stack your bones and improve your posture
- Diaphragm and breathing patterns - master diaphragmatic breathing pattern
- Core pressure regulation - discover if you are actually squashing your core
- Glutes - find your strong and dynamic booty
- Hips - integrate happy hips that move well
- Feet & Jaw - who knew the feet and jaw connect to the core and floor?
**This class will appeal to pre and post pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause**
12Sep - 17Oct (6 weeks initially)
Tuesday 1230 - 1320
£85.00

NATIONAL FITNESS DAY!
We can support all your fitness goals at our one-stop movement rehabilitation clinic! Read the testimonial below on how the Bridgeham team have helped Becky Owen, Team GB Triathlete:
Bridgeham have helped me for the last 5 years. This has been through osteopathy, Pilates, massage and Pranic healing to help me return to training and racing post injury and keeping me strong when peaking. I started having appointments at Bridgeham when I was a heptathlete and the progress I was seeing in my movement patterns made me realise that I needed to stick with Pilates when moving to triathlons last year.
2022 didn’t start great with a hip injury and the help of Jo and Trev has ensured I’m ready to race at Euro and World champs this year. Trev ‘fine tunes the Ferrari’ and Jo makes sure that Katy and Lois have me sweating (or should I say swearing) on a reformer.
The help Bridgeham have given me physically and emotionally is really appreciated and I could not thank Jo and Trev enough for their support and belief.

AUTUMN MEDITATION!
Preparing ourselves for autumn and winter to support body, immune system, nervous system and lower stress levels... If we enter the later part of the year well and with minimal stress, we are less likely to be susceptible to winter ailments and recover from them better.
By meditating regularly we lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and this helps the immune system stay strong.
Each meditation week by week will focus on different aspects of letting go of things we don’t need to carry with us. We will explore techniques for letting go; letting go at the right time of year for our Meridians and organs allows us to rest and truly use the winter to regenerate for a healthier spring next year!

Testimonial Prize Draw Winner!
Here is what Ms. W said about her Bridgeham experience:
“I initially saw Mike England at Bridgeham for osteopathy and am now on a maintenance plan with him. He referred me to Gordon with Pilates to help stabilise my movement patterns and stop me injuring myself again. Gordon was extremely thorough and professional, explaining how each exercise would benefit me. It was like being back at school with the amount of homework he has given me! Gordon made sure I knew exactly how to do the home exercises he gave me. I have booked to see Gordon for a few more sessions. Everyone at Bridgeham is really friendly and positive.”
