Claire's teaching and Pilates training gives her a detailed understanding of how the body moves in sport.
This allows her to see where her clients are not functioning efficiently. Many of Claire's clients have struggled with pain for several years and previously not achieved a long term solution to their problem. Her aim is to find their root cause of pain and rebalance the movement of the whole body to establish a pain free system where the client can re-engage with the fun of participation. Claire has developed her 3-Step system of Release, Restore and Rejuvenate. This involves, hands on integrated MFR, whole body 3-D movement and stretching, self-care release work (SMFRTherapy) and re-education of positive engagement with oneself. Claire will see her clients to a safe movement position and on to one in which they have the knowledge to maintain their own strong, coordinated patterns of movement.
