    Today someone asked me what being 'embodied' means? and what it means 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.

    • Improve your sleep with a digital detox - Jill Wigmore-Welsh

      This podcast is following up on a BBC Radio program question they asked me to address and I recorded this afterwards. The podcast briefly outlines why it is important to have a digital detox. 

       

      If it's not something that you've come across before then have a listen in and consider trying it out every now and again. If you have a family you can maybe have one evening a week where you set aside an extra hour and put in place a digital detox for the whole family.

       

      It's a bit radical maybe to consider switching off the internet, switching off your phones and screens etc and finding other things to do. It's a great opportunity to read books, have conversations, catch up and have a family meal and also to spend time literally relaxing without the pressure of our never-ending system of screens.

       

      Have a listening you might learn something and you might be interested in trying something out at home have a great day 

      love you J xx

    • London Feldenkrais method Lessons in Shoreditch or your home - Jill Wigmore-Welsh

      This podcast today introduces you to a wonderful new development.

      I’m moving back to London to provide hands-on lessons (the traditional Feldenkrais method, called “functional integration”). In my work, I call them neuroclarity lessons.
      Because I'm also a coach, hypnotherapist, advanced practice physiotherapist, etc, the work that I do may mean you have a complex or catastrophic injury that you need help with.

      2025 is a fascinating time for me, and I hope you pick up the excitement in my voice. I've been unable to work freely and have time available to myself for nearly the last 40 years. Those of you who have children will understand the constraints that that can impose.  On top of that, I also had four Border Collies, and I'll tell you more about that in this Podcast episode.

      However, for now, I hope you pick up the excitement and enthusiasm in my voice as I look forward to seeing you in person in London UK and helping you.


      As always, you can contact me through my podcast, send me a message, or, if you search for my name, Jill Wigmore-Welsh, on the internet, you'll easily find my website and can send me a message or book a half-hour session to discuss any problems you have.


      A 30-minute chat won't solve your problems, but it will let us meet face-to-face and talk to see whether I can help you and what that would entail. I love you all and hope to speak to you and meet you one day

      Xx J

    • Jill Wigmore-Welsh - Answering "Why do we remember strange parts of our dreams?": on BBC Radio

      Based in the UK, I'm often asked to go onto BBC Radio to answer questions listeners have raise about sleep or dreams. Invariably I create a series of notes before the broadcast and only a small amount goes out on air. 

      Instead of letting this information sit in a folder, I thought " I wonder whether this question might be one more people have?". 

      This question was "Why do we remember strange events that took place in our dreams?

      Apparently listeners phoned in and gave some quite extraordinarily 'weird' accounts of activities in their dreams !

      When I went on air I wanted to answer the question, in a sensible evidence based way.

      Hope you enjoy this episode and as always do let me know your thoughts.

      Better Bones: The Anatomy of Movement

      Hidden Bones, Strong Foundations, and Steady Steps

      When I shared:

      • How our “invisible” bones and posture quietly support balance and wellbeing

      • The surprising power of your calf muscles—the “second heart”—for strong movement and healthy circulation

      • Simple, science-backed strategies to help you move well and build better bones, every day.

        Due to time constraints I recorded 3 short lessons to serve as an introduction to Body Sensing and Movement Awareness (BSMA) and it's application to bone health and circulation. 

        The recording is in total around an hour, however this is divided into:

        Lesson 1 Your Feet in Contact With the Earth ( stops at around 27 minutes) 

        Lesson 2 Wake Your Feet for Walking (From 27 minutes to around 50 minutes)

        Lesson 3 Axis Flow Like a Fish (From around 50 minutes to 70 minutes) 

         

        During the recording I make reference to some diagrams used in the presentation, which are not yet available for general viewing.

      • Jill Wigmore-Welsh Osteoporosis & Osteopenia : Why is my friend's Bone Density so much better than mine?

        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/)  

        This is a question many of my client's ask. 

        When they get their T score, test results they start to compare with their friend's.

        Sometimes they wonder why they're osteoporotic and their friend is osteopenic, Specifically, a T-score between -1 and -2.5 on a DEXA scan signifies osteopenia.

        Under -2.5 is osteoporotic and above -1 is considered 'normal' / OK.

         

        Are there any clues in their past?

        Well in this podcast I just cover off a short explanation about lifestyle in childhood, adolescence and during 20's to 50's.

         

        Hope you enjoy
