Short Self-Physio Assessment Course
Short Self-Physio Assessment Course in Ruddington
Don’t just move, move well
Our 2-week Short Self-Physio Assessment Course in Ruddington is designed to teach you how to assess your own posture, movement patterns, and body mechanics in the way a physiotherapist would.
This course offers insight, empowerment, and clarity about how your body moves and why certain issues like pain or stiffness might be showing up.
Led by Sally, a physiotherapist with over 23 years of experience, this is not a workout class. It is an education in how your body really works.
What Is the Self-Assessment Course?
This short course mirrors the process Sally uses in her initial clinical assessments. You will learn how to:
- Analyse your posture and 3D movement
- Identify which movements are restricted or missing
- Understand your feet, breathing, and core function
- Review fundamental movements such as squatting, lunging, and bending
- Connect movement patterns to sources of pain or tension
Each session is guided, hands-on, and supported by a structured worksheet so you can record your findings and track your progress. You will leave with tools to improve how you move, both during and beyond the course.
