This short lesson, is short extract from a bigger lesson I teach on my Better Bones For Life programme. It's focussed on improving gait. Enjoy If this recording helps you please buy me a coffee! it helps fund what I do. Creator of  the OsteoProSisters: Better Bones for Life ™ Programme. Developed for women who are: active, perimenopausal or just approaching menopause, recently diagnosed with early stage osteopenia and osteoporosis or individuals noticing changes potentially signalling hormone change and starting to plan to live healthy for as long as possible . Evidence shows a good holistic bone health programme makes a valuable contribution to your health and longevity, so lets have a conversation and check if my programme is a good fit for you. If you're in the UK you can book a free 20 minute conversation to discuss options. Here is my diary booking link -  Diary  Or send me a message through my Contact Form At the heart of Better Bones for Life™ sits a lifetime of serious confidential clinical work. Not wellness practice. Not personal trainer studio teaching. Real confidential clinical work — with fractures, emotional and physical trauma, bone non-union, complex bone pathology, osteoarthritis, and persistent pain. The kind of complex health challenges that insurers and legal teams bring to Jill when outcomes truly matter. This is bone health expertise forged in the most demanding clinical environments, across more than four decades of advanced practice supporting literally thousands of individuals. Better Bones for Life™ is an evidence informed programme. It’s main focus is early osteoporosis support simply because you need to be agile enough to get down to the floor and up again. But that doesn't exclude you, because if your bone scan scores are low, and you are active, mobile, walk well, then lets have a talk. Entry to the programme has some flexibility. However, it's reasonable to say that if you have severe osteoporosis, limited mobility, cant get outdoors, have a history of falls and fragility fractures then you may need something else, and I can create a bespoke programme for that. Essentially Better Bones for Life™ is designed for women who want to understand their bone health — and take genuinely informed steps to support it. What is Better Bones for Life about ?: The Better Bones for Life™  programme offers a grounded, holistic education covering movement, many differing kinds of exercise, bone stacking, mindset, nutrition, sleep, hormones, lifestyle and more. BBFL Programme participants are generally active, but aware they are less active than 10 years ago, between age 35 and 65, not had a serious fall or fragility fractures, can walk at least 800 metres (half a mile), not as agile as they were, can climb stairs maybe use a handrail at times, and can get down to, and up from, the floor (because the programme includes mat work).   Here is my DIARY Link -  Diary to book a conversation  How do I sign up ? First we have a conversation, which is a free no obligation 20 minute call via webcam. You can book a free conversation time in my diary through the links on my website pages, they don't always show on the podcast links. During the call we discuss your needs and options and I’ll provide a recommendation on whether the group work would be a fit for you or whether one to one would be best. Group work runs online, UK time and is currently open to people living in the UK usually as either a bootcamp whole day in person or via webcam.   For more information visit my website Jill Wigmore-Welsh Better Bones for Life  If you're in the UK and need one to one help with a programme you can book a book a 20 minute conversation with me.   FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can a holistic rehabilitation programme with targeted osteoporosis exercises and life style change really improve bone health? Yes, the evidence is clear. An integrated lifestyle modification programme, for bone health  combining targeted bone loading exercise, progressive resistance training, nutritional support for bone mineralisation, sleep optimisation and mindset work can measurably improve bone density, reduce fracture risk and accelerate recovery. . The recording is a Body Movement Awareness Lesson at introductory level Remember no lessons are meant to be a treatment or medical advice, and you do any movement work entirely at your own choice.  Do leave me a message and let me know how you get along.

    Jill Wigmore-Welsh Re-Release - Hypnosis for Sleep

    This podcast was recorded in 2009 and was a very early podcast episode created for a friend, Anthony, who had severe insomnia. He was due to travel for demanding business and was extremely anxious and unable to sleep more than  2or 3 hours a night. It worked for him and others have reported the same. I'm a General Hypnotherapy Registered Hypnotherapist, I've been using hypnotherapy in my work since 1995. There are so many ways we can work with words and some are incredibly beneficial. These days, in addition to all my other work, I also run a sleep clinic, called How to Sleep Better Clinic I've developed a process called Faster Sleep which integrates CBT-I, Somatics, Hypnotherapy, and more. if you have sleep problems then give this episode a go and let me know how you get along. Even better, if you like it, please buy me a coffee !  If you're a UK resident living abroad or living in the UK and have sleep problems then send me a message and we can discuss ways I can help you. xx J

    Re-Release Jill Wigmore-Welsh : A subtle lesson in aware breathing

    This lesson has been recorded with a person in mind. I've re-released it for participants who attended an interactive talk on the Rest Less platform on  9 January 2026   Starting from 16 June 2026 Better Bones - The Anatomy of Movement talks are hosted on my website. Go to this page and complete the form to be first to hear when the next one is released.  (  https://jillwigmore-welsh.com/better-bones-the-anatomy-of-movement/)   It's a subtle easy slow gentle lesson, with some detail on the anatomy and structure of the thoracic spine. Just a little, but enough to spark interest. The lesson is not designed to be a medical treatment and if you are worried in any way that moving may be problematic, then speak to your physician before doing the work. However, you can always do this just in your imagination either in sitting or side lying.   I mention a pillow support system in the lesson. It's the Lejrelet System and here is the link    Here is a link to a youtube about the thoracic spine, some time back uploaded about 2015 I believe. Here is one of the other lessons on the thoracic spine, but quite an advanced one   Me, and my website Enjoy

Go to this page and complete the form to be first to hear when the next one is released.  (  https://jillwigmore-welsh.com/better-bones-the-anatomy-of-movement/)   Today someone asked me what is meant to be 'embodied' to practice work to improve 'embodiment.   As a Physiotherapist and Psychologist sometimes I use words and phrases and forget that someone might not have a concept on the meaning. So, here I'm attempting to give a simple explanation, with examples on how we used to appraise for 'embodied skills' years ago, and how things have changed.   Let me know is any of this resonates.
