Pure Balance Physio & Pilates: Nikki Laing

16/09/2026

On National Fitness Day 2026 here is what fitness means to me 💕

💫 I exercise for my mental health.

💫 To be physically, mentally and emotionally strong.

💫 To FEEL good, rather than to look a certain way.

💫 To appreciate what my body can DO.

💫 To set a positive example for my children & create healthy habits for us as a family as a whole.

Fitness should be FUN.
It shouldn’t feel like a chore or be a punishment.

Get those feel good hormones flowing and move your body in a way that you enjoy. Today is just another day full of potential. Go for it! 💥

This we’re recognising the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in the prevention, management and rehabilitation of cardiovascular and stroke.

❤️Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, while 1 in 4 people will experience a stroke in their lifetime.

Physiotherapists play an important role in supporting people to become more physically active and reduce their risk, and through rehabilitation to help people regain mobility, function and independence.

Get in touch if you want help to get more active, let’s break those barriers to movement.

At Pure Balance Physio & Pilates, we believe every client deserves to feel supported, confident and capable.

That’s why our approach starts with an individual assessment, getting to know you, your body and your goals.

From here we can tailor the classes to those in each class and adapt and modify anything for your capabilities.

If you feel you need more time to get to grips with Pilates before starting a class or you would rather do individual Pilates sessions we offer 1:1 Pilates too.

🤔Are you struggling with pain in your current exercise regime?

🤔Are you struggling to get started because of pain?

🤔Do you find yourself overdoing things and then needing to spend weeks recovering?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you need a starting point that respects where you are right now. Consistency matters more than intensity. Gentle repetition matters more than pushing through pain.

The message is not “move more no matter what.”
The message is “find the smallest possible way to reintroduce movement, and let your body slowly adapt again, increasing movements at a speed your body is ready for”

Because the body is still built to move.
Even if it has been still for a while.

The photos show my first couple of climbs after left hip surgery (femoral osteotomy and labral repair 2017) The first photo was me not trusting my left leg despite being 4 years post surgery, relying more heavily on my upper body and right leg.

By a week later, I was using my body more evenly after practice and exposure, allowing my body to be challenged but also listened to how it felt and not overloaded. 🥰

If you want help knowing where your starting point is and how to progress, get in touch. 📲

💦Hydration is key💦

Are you exercising today this week in this heat?

💦Hydration is crucial during exercise because it helps regulate body temperature, maintains bodily functions, and prevents performance decline.

🥵Dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, and decreased physical and cognitive performance.

🧘‍♀️Take regular breaks and listen to your body.
