Emma Riedo Movement

I was left with a weak pelvic floor, core and subsequently back pain after a traumatic birth. Before pregnancy, I loved going to the gym and dancing, but, when I tried to start again after the birth, I found I couldn’t exercise as I felt weak and was worried about accidents.

Working step by step through Emma's program in such a supportive environment was just what I needed; she ensures everyone in the class is working to their level and tailors exercises to each person.

I thought I know how to move and breathe properly, but Emma’s advice was a revelation for me! I love the way that I can go back to the homework videos to revisit exercises and doing those and the little adjustments to the way I stand and move have made such a difference. I’m now back at all my classes and feeling happy and strong again.

Not only has it strengthened my core but it has helped my posture and given me more movement in my shoulders. It has helped to reduce the headaches I was suffering from.

After 4 weeks, I am no longer leaking when I jump in my other exercise classes.

I've carved out some me time at the weekends!! It's made me realise that I need to be aware of my posture and that with time I can increase my general flexibility.  I have learned how to fire my glutes!

[Emma] helped me find a stronger post birth body and I wish had beeen able to access her wealth of knowledge after my first pregnancy.  I incorporate her lessons into my daily activities as a way of taking care of my body which is essential for busy mums who don't find the time for extensive workout routines, or short ones for that matter.  I look forward to continuing my work with Emma to see how my body can shift further.  I highly recommend her as an instructor and support for women at any stage of life.

I undertook Emma's six week Restore Your Core course just before Christmas and not only really enjoyed it but have also noticed a big difference in the shape on my stomach. Emma is so knowledgeable and provides excellent advice on so many different areas. The relaxation at the end of each session was a welcome treat each week. I will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Emma!

[It was] more than just doing the exercises, [I] loved the explanation about why eg lengthening and strengthening and relating everything to real life.

Being a new mum, I was pretty ignorant of the changes my body would undergo postpartum. Emma’s guidance and classes have enabled me to identify where my body has changed and her exercises have been invaluable in building up my core strength again. The classes are great because Emma addresses any concerns you have and teaches exercises that are best suited to you.
