HOW TO SIT WELL

Most of us need to sit for long periods of time each day. A few simple tricks will make sitting much easier for you. We take you through four simple tips but if you need us to show you more, contact us.


MAKING STANDING EASY

Whether it's standing watching the kids sport, coping with a cocktail party, or getting used to a standing desk, these are some simple tips to take the load off your back when you need to stand.


WALK TALL

Try these great tips to get you using your core when you walk. Feel stronger, lighter and more stable next time you go for your daily walk.


TABLE STRETCH

This is our all time favourite stretch. It is great relief for your back, is easy to do and improves your flexibility like magic. Combining this with regular core rebooting is an ideal way to keep most backs in check.


CHAIR TWIST

Is your neck a bit tight? Finding breathing a bit tough? Been sitting too much? This is the stretch for you.

You can do it anytime, anywhere and it is great for releasing tension in your neck, mid-back and chest.


PSOAS STRETCH

Back sore when you stand for long periods? Need to release spasm in your back? Psoas stretch is perfect for easing aches and releasing tension.


FAVOURITE BUTTOCK STRETCH

This is a great one for loosening your hips and relieving aches that are mainly on one side. If you are a Flippy you will find one side is really different to the other, so do a couple more on your still side.


STANDING LANCELOT STRETCH

This is a fabulous stretch for the front of your thighs and your hip flexors. Easy to do anywhere, anytime and great to do after sitting or after working those legs.

If you aren’t sure, pop in and organise a one-on-one with one of your physiocise team.


LANCELOT STRETCH

A magnificent stretch that releases the front of your hips after sitting. It also gets us ready to lunge and to walk or run.

One side can be really different to the other, so do an extra one on your tight side.

If you aren’t sure, pop in and organise a one-on-one with one of your Physiocise team.


UNDERSTANDING THE CORE

Did you know your core is like a piece of tiramisu?! It's a series of layers of muscle and to get it working again you need to activate the right layers in the right way.


REBOOTING THE CORE

There are lots of reasons why our cores crash. Regular rebooting is a great way to keep your core activated and your back supported. Lie back, close your eyes and let us talk you through it!


PERFECT LUNGES

Lunges are great exercises for strengthening your legs and buttocks for walking and running as well as bending and lifting.

The trouble is it is easy to cheat, which can overload your knees, feet and calves. So join Physiocise Founder Anna-Louise Bouvier, and our Physio Susie Powell, to learn the best tips for getting the most out of your lunges.


SUPER SPLIT SQUATS

It’s easy to cheat when you are doing leg and buttock exercises.

This one-minute clip shows you the four simple elements that help you switch on the right muscles in the right way.

Once you have the knack, it’s amazing how much load they can take off your back, knees and hips.


TERRIFIC TAPS

Your deep buttock muscles are fantastic for taking the load off your hips, knees and back and walking. These tap exercises are a great way to get them firing up!
