Short Self-Physio Assessment Course in Ruddington
Don’t just move, move well
Our 3-week Short Self-Physio Assessment Course in Ruddington is designed to teach you how to assess your own posture, movement patterns, and body mechanics in the way a physiotherapist would.
This course offers insight, empowerment, and clarity about how your body moves and why certain issues like pain or stiffness might be showing up.
Led by Sally, a physiotherapist with over 23 years of experience, this is not a workout class. It is an education in how your body really works.
What Is the Self-Assessment Course?
This short course mirrors the process Sally uses in her initial clinical assessments. You will learn how to:
- Analyse your posture and 3D movement
- Identify which movements are restricted or missing
- Understand your feet, breathing, and core function
- Review fundamental movements such as squatting, lunging, and bending
- Connect movement patterns to sources of pain or tension
Each session is guided, hands-on, and supported by a structured worksheet so you can record your findings and track your progress. You will leave with tools to improve how you move, both during and beyond the course.

Who Is This Course For?

This self-assessment course is suitable for:
- Adults who want to understand their bodies better
- Anyone experiencing pain, tension, or "niggles"
- Clients preparing to join movement or rehab classes
- People returning to activity after injury or time away
- Curious minds who want to feel confident talking with healthcare professionals
You do not need to be fit, flexible, or experienced. This is about learning, not performing.
