Shoulder & Pelvic Floor Workshops
Shoulder Wellness Workshop - Hosted by Emma Caldwell-Lewis
In response to many clients struggling with maintaining healthy shoulder ROM (range of movement), Nourished You has held numerous shoulder exercise workshops.
The scapula, aka the shoulder blade, is known for its mobility and if not optimally functional, can be extremely debilitating. The workshops are designed as a guide to start optimising your shoulder health. As well as supporting workshop attendees experiencing shoulder issues, the workshops are also targeted towards those who wish to take a preventative approach. Therefore lessening their chances of developing shoulder pain or degenerative conditions in the future.
A comprehensive, practical session with takeaway video clips of exercises to practice at home. Featuring internationally recognised formulas including the Franklin Method, MFA Joint Mobility, Biomechanics, plus drawing upon personal experience. The workshops encompass step-by-step demonstration as well as time to practice yourself, observe and support one another throughout the session.
The result? Positive feedback from clients about noticeable, and at times, life-changing improvement to shoulder health, and lessening discomfort and shoulder pain over time.
Pelvic Floor Workshop - Hosted by Emma Caldwell-Lewis & Natalie Rouse
As long-term enthusiasts of all things female health, pelvic floor health has increasingly become an integral part of the Nourished You approach. Mirrored by client sentiment, with many members of the Nourished You community keen to learn how to optimise their pelvic floor health.
Consequently, Nourished You’s first pelvic floor workshop was hugely popular - and sell out! Showcasing a refreshing, modern approach to the pelvic floor as well as facilitating a safe space for like-minded women to speak openly and share their personal experiences.
An evidence-based and research-backed workshop which involved addressing the basic anatomy of the pelvic bones and identifying the 3D muscle of the pelvic floor. Demonstrations included walking lunging and squats designed to help condition the pelvic floor. Followed by mat and chair exercises using Franklin Method balls to proprioceptively improve pelvic floor function. Pilates exercises were also integrated into the workshop, explaining why are effective and demonstrating best practice. At Nourished You we take a modern day approach to the zip n’ lift method as well as exploring how diaphragmatic breathing can be utilised to powerfully target your abdominals and pelvic floor.
What’s more, expert nutritionist Natalie Rouse, delivered a talk on how combining certain food groups can help support with hormone balance. The workshop also touched on UTIs and prolapse in addition to how perimenopause and menopause impacts pelvic floor function. The session was rounded up with a Q&A, giving workshop attendees the opportunity to seek specific advice from Emma and Natalie.
