Hello!
I’m Clare, ‘The Movement Therapist’. I run a small sports therapy business in the centre of Glasgow. I began working in the fitness industry whilst at university in 2008, initially employed as a Swim Coach with Glasgow Life before qualifying as Personal Trainer & Pilates instructor, operating in private wellness studios across the city.
My mission was always to have my own business, so in 2013 I went out on my own and haven’t looked back.
Over the years I’ve discovered that integrating hands-on therapies with movement practice, generated better results than individual modalities. If you come to see me with a sore hip, I’m not just looking at your hip. I’m looking at your feet, knees, hips, spine and shoulders. I’m asking about your personal history. Your story matters. Nothing happens in isolation. The whole body needs to be considered.
Through integrating my skills as a therapist & trainer I became fascinated by the anatomy of the foot (it really is a masterpiece of engineering!) and it’s relationship with the rest of the body. I’m now in my 4th and final year studying Podiatry - and the plan is to become a lower limb MSK specialist.
I love working with my hands, I’m a huge anatomy geek and a sucker for all things health and fitness. I thrive on problem solving when working with diverse populations, and running my own business gives me creative freedom to explore innovative approaches but also requires me to constantly up my game. I’m always growing & evolving, in order to grow and evolve my people.
If you’re in pain and don’t know what to do about it, or maybe you’ve tried everything else and got nowhere, I’m here.
Together we can figure it out and you can get back to your normal self.
Drop me an enquiry at hello@movementtherapist.co.uk or just go ahead & book your session with me.
