I’ve seen a lot of posts lately criticizing "old-school" physio exercises like these, and it worries me. While these perspectives aren't entirely wrong, they can easily make the average person think there’s something inherently flawed with exercises like clamshells or glute bridges.

​Are they as advanced or progressive as a kickstand hinge? No. But we absolutely can not write them off, especially when they are performed VERY WELL.

​I’ve worked with countless clients dealing with acute aches and pains where a clamshell or a basic bridge was the only starting point that worked. Did we stay there forever? Of course not. We progressed as soon as they were ready. But the point is: these exercises work for the right person at the right time.

​Efficiency is great, and some exercises will get you from Point A to Point B faster. However, effective coaching always comes down to the individual—their history, their pain levels, and their body awareness. Don't let fitness influencers convince you that a foundational movement won't work for you. Your unique context is what matters most.

Results Built on Science, Not Just Sweat!

​Ever finished a workout feeling strong, but not necessarily "drenched and destroyed"?

That’s the Jo-method in action.
​We don't do "one size fits all" fitness. Our small-group sessions are limited to just three people, ensuring you get the biomechanical expertise usually reserved for elite athletes.

As this recent testimonial shows, our focus is on how your body moves, not just how much it can suffer.

​Why we’re a class above the rest:

​Biomechanics First: We identify your specific weaknesses and adapt every movement to your unique frame.

​Precision Over Pace: You’ll leave feeling capable, not crushed—though you’ll definitely feel those gains the next day!

​The Power of Three: All the perks of a Personal Trainer with the supportive energy of a small, friendly team.

​"She understands how my body works, quickly spots my weaknesses, and adapts exercises to suit me. That means I can train safely, avoid injury, and still see real results."

​Stop guessing and start training with intent. This isn't just another gym session—this is how we work.

Why We Are Exercise Specialists, Not Just Personal Trainers

​The distinction between a "personal trainer" and an Exercise Specialist isn't just a title—it’s a standard of practice.

One of the defining factors that sets us apart is the art of the cue.

​The Power of Precision
​An elite coach’s ability to use language to elicit an immediate, precise physical response is invaluable. It is the difference between a client "just moving weight" and a client achieving the exact physiological outcome intended for that moment.

​Mastery Takes Time

​Mastering the nuances of verbal, visual, and tactile cueing is a skill most trainers never fully grasp. It isn't something learned in a three-month certification; it requires:

​Years of hands-on experience to understand individual biomechanics.
​Unwavering confidence to pivot strategies mid-set.
​Rapid adaptability to redirect a session’s momentum in seconds.

​Backed by Results
​We don’t use the term "Specialist" lightly. Unlike the sea of generic trainers, we possess the technical depth to back up our claims. Our results and client testimonials aren't just success stories—they are proof of a higher level of coaching.

Ever walked into a gym and felt like you accidentally stepped onto a movie set?

​Between the thumping bass of the music, the sea of mirrors, and the feeling that nobody even noticed you walked through the door, it’s no wonder so many people over 50 decide to give up on the whole gym thing altogether.

​We know the struggle because we see it every day:

🎵 ​The Noise: Music so loud you can’t hear your own thoughts, let alone your trainer.

💪 ​The Intimidation: Feeling like you need to be "fit" just to step foot in the door.

🔎 ​The Invisibility: Being ignored by staff who are more focused on their phones than your form.

​At Liquidsteelbiomechanics, we do things differently. We’ve traded the "pumping iron" ego for a welcoming environment where the music is background noise, the equipment and exercises are explained (repeatedly, if needed!), and everyone knows your name.

​Fitness isn't about looking a certain way; it’s about feeling capable in your own skin.

All of the above we understand and we listened. With all of this, we have a very unique skillset that caters for over 50s aswell as over 40 years of experience in the fitness industry.

If you've struggled with any of the above or even more...pop us a message and see how we can help you started on your fitness journey.

What it means to work with a female health expert.

Menopause changes the body. Your exercise approach has to change with it.

Menopause isn’t just about hormones.
It changes how the body loads, moves, stabilises, and recovers.
That’s why working with an exercise specialist who understands female health and biomechanics matters.

During peri- and post-menopause, women commonly experience:
🎀 Joint pain that “comes out of nowhere”
🎀 Reduced bone density and higher injury risk
🎀 Loss of muscle and strength despite exercising
🎀 Changes in balance, coordination, and confidence
🎀 Fatigue or flare-ups from workouts that used to feel fine

A menopause-focused exercise specialist doesn’t just throw lighter weights or generic “safe” workouts at the problem.

They look at how your body is actually moving.
A biomechanical approach means:
✔️ Assessing posture, gait, and joint loading
✔️ Understanding how hormonal changes affect connective tissue and stability
✔️ Rebuilding strength through the right joints, not around pain
✔️ Protecting bones while still loading them enough to stimulate growth
✔️ Restoring confidence in movement, not fear of it

Instead of:
❌ “Avoid this exercise forever”
❌ Random classes and hope
❌ Pushing through pain or giving up altogether

You get:
✅ Smarter exercise selection
✅ Better joint mechanics
✅ Stronger bones and muscles
✅ Less pain, more control
✅ A body that feels capable again

Menopause isn’t a signal to stop training.
It’s a signal to train with more intelligence.
And that’s exactly where a biomechanically-driven female health specialist makes all the difference.

What a privilege it is to have run this side of the business for us. A wealth of experience and incredibly knowledgeable.

Jo is currently opening more slots for small group PT sessions (3 at a time), so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you want more information!

Even though our main focus at Liquid Steel Biomechanics is helping people over 55 move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies…
I still have a deep passion for working with young athletes.

There’s something special about their energy, their drive to improve, and their ability to adopt new movement patterns so quickly. They remind us what optimal movement really looks like — fluid, connected, and full of potential.

Working with young athletes keeps me sharp as a coach and constantly learning. It also gives incredible perspective on what we should all strive for as we age — not just strength, but efficient, pain-free movement that allows us to live fully.

I've been working with Arjun for nearly 2 years now and genuinely delighted with this next step for him. He is a young athlete who embodies dedication, discipline, and humility. Being part of his next journey and helping shape how he moves — now and for years to come — is a privilege.

At the end of the day, whether it’s a young athlete chasing performance or a 65-year-old chasing pain-free independence, the mission is the same:
To help people move better and live better.

If you would like to work with us, don't hesitate to pop a message regarding a free consultation.

Why over 55 year olds shouldn’t skip exercises like the Banded Crab Walk
(Even if they look a bit funny!)

When most people think about staying strong after 55, they focus on big muscles — arms, legs, chest…
But one of the most important areas to strengthen is the side of your hips — the muscles that control hip abduction (like your glute medius).

✅️ What is hip abduction?
It’s simply your ability to move your leg out to the side and stabilise your hips while you walk, climb stairs, get out of a chair, or balance on one leg.

Exercises like the Banded Crab Walk target exactly that — those side-hip muscles that help keep your pelvis steady and your knees and lower back happy.

✅️ Here’s why hip abduction strength is so important after 55:

1. Better balance & stability – Helps prevent falls and improves confidence when walking or turning quickly.

2. Reduced hip & knee pain – Strong side hips keep your legs aligned and take stress off your joints.

3. Easier everyday movement – From standing up, walking uphill, or stepping sideways, these muscles work behind the scenes in almost everything you do.

So next time you see someone shuffling sideways with a resistance band… they’re not just exercising — they’re future-proofing their movement.

Tip: Start slow, focus on good form, and feel the burn in the side of your glutes — that’s where the magic happens!

Not All of Us Are Bodybuilders

Counting reps in the gym can be helpful — it gives structure, guidance, and a sense of progress.
But somewhere along the way, many people start believing that exact rep amounts automatically means better results.

When we're working with someone — especially those over 55 — it’s not always about how many reps you do… it’s about how well you do them.

Because movement quality, body awareness, and understanding why you’re doing an exercise more often than not, matter more than chasing numbers.

A solid, well-controlled 8 reps will do far more for your body than a questionable 12 done with poor alignment or tension in the wrong places.

So next time you’re in the gym — don’t get lost in the numbers.
Slow down.
Feel the movement.
Connect to your body.

You’ll get far more out of your training when quality comes before quantity.

If you're interested in learning more about how and why your body moves the way it does...give us a shout. We're big on education, not only exercise.










15/10/2025

You’ll often see us doing movements like these with our clients.

But here’s the why:

This kind of movement teaches your body how to coordinate and transfer load — just like you do when walking, climbing stairs, or catching your balance if you stumble.

It builds stability, balance, and control without putting you in risky positions.

The ribcage rotation helps you reconnect your upper and lower body, improving how your hips and spine move together.

And most importantly — it’s functional. It improves the exact patterns that keep you strong, steady, and confident in everyday life.

We don’t just train muscles — we train movement.
Because moving well means living well.
