Here’s a great Tai Chi movement we teach in our classes and use in clinic to help improve:
✨ Weight transfer from one leg to the other
✨ Shoulder mobility and control
✨ Gentle spinal rotation
✨ Balance, coordination and overall body awareness

This exercise is suitable for all levels and can be done standing or modified if needed.
A brilliant way to stay active, loosen up stiffness, and connect movement with breathing.

🎯 Part 4: Goal Setting & Activity Modification — A Smarter Way to Recover

Recovery works best when it’s structured, realistic, and tailored to you.
That’s where goal setting and activity modification come in. Two powerful tools that help you stay consistent without overloading your body.

Here’s how to build these into your day:

✅ 1. Set Clear, Achievable Goals (SMART Goals)
Break your recovery into small steps that you can tick off.

Your goals should be:
• Specific – “Walk for 10 minutes” rather than “be more active.”
• Measurable – You can track if you did it or not.
• Achievable – Challenge yourself, but keep it realistic.
• Relevant – Linked to the activities you want to get back to.
• Time-bound – Give yourself a weekly target.

Small wins build confidence and give you a roadmap to follow.

✅ 2. Modify Activities – Don’t Avoid Them
You don’t need to stop doing what you love.
Instead, adjust things so your body can cope as it heals.

This might include:
• Reducing load or intensity
• Breaking activities into shorter chunks
• Changing technique or position
• Taking planned rest breaks
• Gradually building back up

This approach keeps you moving, which is essential for recovery, while reducing flare-ups.

✅ 3. Pacing Helps Prevent the Boom–Bust Cycle
Many people push hard on good days and then crash on bad days.
Pacing helps you stay consistent by spreading activity evenly through the week.
It keeps progress steady and symptoms more predictable.

🌟 Try This Over the Next Few Days
• Set one small weekly goal
• Modify one activity instead of avoiding it
• Celebrate small wins, they all add up

Consistency beats intensity every time.

💬 PART 3: Positive Self-Talk & Affirmations

Following on from our posts on mindfulness and visualisation, today we’re focusing on the power of positive self-talk.

How you speak to yourself during recovery matters.
Your thoughts can influence how you move, how you heal, and even how you experience pain.

Here are some simple ways to build a more supportive mindset:

✨ Encourage yourself:
Try phrases like:
• “My body is capable of healing.”
• “I am in control of my recovery.”

These reminders help shift your mindset away from fear and back toward confidence.

✨ Focus on progress:
Instead of thinking about what you can’t do, notice what you can do — even the small wins.
Every bit of progress counts.

✨ Practise gratitude:
Recognising tiny improvements each day can lift your mood, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Positive self-talk isn’t about ignoring pain — it’s about supporting yourself through it with a more balanced, compassionate mindset.

💭 PART 2: Mental Imagery & Visualisation

Following on from our last post on mindfulness and breathwork, today we’re looking at another simple tool to help manage pain: using your mind to create calm in the body.

✨ Try visualising:
• Your pain softening or easing
• Tension melting away
• A peaceful place where your body feels relaxed

These techniques help calm the nervous system, reduce muscle tension, and lower the intensity of pain — supporting your recovery alongside physiotherapy.

Give it a try over the next few days.
Part 3 coming soon.

🎙️ I recently joined the Founders Mindset Unfiltered podcast to share my journey from physiotherapist to business owner — and the story behind Bodyform Physiotherapy.

It was definitely a nerve-racking experience being on a podcast for the first time, but I really enjoyed it once we got going!

We talked about what physiotherapy really means, common misconceptions, memorable patient stories, and what it’s like starting and growing a business while balancing family life.

It was great to reflect on the highs, challenges, and lessons learned along the way.

💭 Your mindset matters more than you think 🧠

When recovering from an injury or dealing with back, neck, or joint pain, it’s easy to focus on what hurts.

But research shows that positive thinking and mindfulness can actually reduce pain intensity and support your recovery.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing short videos to help you understand how to shift your mindset and manage pain more effectively.

These simple strategies can be done in your own time — they just need a little focus and consistency. It won’t happen overnight, but with practice, they can become part of your daily routine.

🌸 Mindfulness and Breathwork

• Be present — notice the moment you’re in, without judgment. This helps shift your focus away from pain and tension.

• Engage your senses — what can you hear, see, or smell right now? Small grounding moments can help calm the mind.

• Breathe deeply — slow, controlled breaths help relax your nervous system and release natural pain-relieving endorphins.

These small steps can make a big difference alongside your physiotherapy.

Stay tuned for more practical tips to help you move better, feel stronger, and take back control of your pain. 💪

💭 Did you know your mindset can influence pain?

Pain isn’t just physical — it’s also shaped by how we think and feel.
When we focus on positive thoughts, set small achievable goals, and use encouraging self-talk, our brain can actually reduce the intensity of pain signals.

🧠✨ Positive thinking helps:

Shift your focus away from the pain

Boost your sense of control

Calm the body’s stress response

Promote healing and movement confidence

This powerful mind-body connection means that changing the way you think about pain can help change the way you feel pain.

Stay hopeful, stay active — your mindset matters just as much as your movement. 💪

🌟 Real Results — Back Pain Recovery! 🌟

This patient came to us struggling with back pain and difficulty bending backwards (extension). Like many people, the pain had started to affect confidence in movement — and even small motions felt restricted.

After treatment, guidance, and reassurance that the pain was normal and nothing to fear, you can see in the video how much freer and more comfortable her movement is. 🙌

At Bodyform Physiotherapy, we help you understand your pain, move with confidence, and get back to doing what you love.

🎥 Watch the before and after — the difference speaks for itself!
💬 If you’ve been avoiding movement because of back pain, know that recovery is possible with the right support.

✨ Tai Chi Exercise of the Week ✨
(Moderate Intensity Level)

This week, in celebration of Diwali, we’re adding an Indian fusion twist to our Tai Chi practice — turning our movements into a dance-inspired flow you could even show off at your next party! 💃🕺

This exercise focuses on weight transfer from one leg to the other — helping to engage your leg muscles, improve balance, stability, and coordination, and support smoother walking, stepping, and changing direction.

We’ve also included gentle arm movements to enhance shoulder, elbow, wrist, and finger mobility. Start off slowly, focusing on balance and control, then gradually increase the pace to raise your heart rate and boost energy.

👉 Aim for 1 minute of each movement.
💬 Leave a comment to let us know how you found it!

These exercises should be performed with little or no pain — keep within a comfortable range and gradually build up over time.
