<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When I was first approached by Fiona Mackie back in January to deliver an iMoveFreely® instructor workshop on the Isle of Man I felt excited for several reasons;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A). iMoveFreely was clearly continuing to spread!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">B). A trip was in the cards! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">C). I could visit my cousins who I hadn't seen in a decade! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But when I saw the attendee list that Fiona had gathered it amplified my excitement even further!</span></p>

<ul>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Physiotherapist</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Chiropractor</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">PT</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Yoga teacher</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Sports Masseur</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Gym instructor </span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Sports therapist</span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Bowen practitioner </span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Holistic therapist </span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Fitness instructor </span></li>
	<li class="li5"><span class="s1">Pilates instructor </span></li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Like WOW! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This workshop was going to be seriously fun AND talk about a diverse range of professionals to challenge my facilitation skills! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A couple of months later with everything booked and a stunning line up of 14 learners, I flew from Birmingham with my mum, who was coming for a mini break and to catch up with some relatives we have who live on the island.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Fiona kindly collected us from the airport at the Isle of Man and dropped us at the hotel for the duration of the stay, Englewood Lodge. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">OMG this place is amazing!! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Classy, stylish, luxurious and our host, Margaret, couldn't do enough for us. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In our stunning room, with heated floors, Molton Brown toiletries, beautiful decor and furniture, we settled in. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We decided to have a nice meal and having decided to walk by the marina we came across the ‘Little Fish Cafe’. We ate scallops and lobster (yes lobster!!) then taxied back to our room later where we both fell asleep grinning I'm sure.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The following morning Fiona collected me and I left mum to a day of sight seeing!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">14 professionals arrived, manuals ready with that quiet nervousness you get on workshops where you are going to spend time with new people learning new things that may challenge you. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Every workshop I deliver I give myself a little challenge too. It is to learn every single name of those present as quickly as possible. I shake hands, look in their eyes, introduce myself and ask their name repeating it a few times in my head (and sometimes out loud!) as I smile and as a few questions.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you were to ask about the ethos of Biomechanics Education Ltd, this workshop really was the epitome of it.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To have clinicians, exercise professionals and hybrids altogether in one room learning alongside each other and I could barely contain my excitement! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A mild apprehension about ensuring my delivery was appropriate to all and applicable to each individual as I raised each point, reminded me how much I care about this ethos and my learners experience. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As a teacher, or rather I prefer facilitator, I take pride in delivering this content simply and effectively to passionate and caring people like these guys. This is the crux of why I love my job, my life and all the experiences I have the opportunity of having. I want to share the joy it brings me and judging by the response during this workshop I sense I may have succeeded in doing a little bit of that. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A fantastically open minded Physiotherapist, chiropractor and other therapists worked on tasks alongside smart gym instructors, pilates/yoga teachers and PTs. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Questions were challenging but excellent and certainly offered me the chance to learn from them too. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Another luxury of my job is mixing with super smart people.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So during the iMoveFreely® Instructor workshop we discussed movement analysis, muscle energy techniques, research, tricky clients, challenges we face in our industries, referral opportunities and of course the iMoveFreely® system of improving function and movement to reduce injury risk and improve performance by preparing the body for exercise.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">All with a huge emphasis on knowing our remit!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Each professional would apply these techniques differently but had now found each other to cross refer to when they felt it necessary.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">After a good 7hrs of learning it was time to demonstrate the magic they had all just acquired. The group watched as I showed them how we as iMoveFreely® Instructors have the ability to change orthotic prescription by releasing Pectoralis Minor in 1 min 20 seconds!! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Blew them away!! &#x1f633;&#x1f61c;&#x1f44f;&#x1f3fc;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So as we came to close all I heard was</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">"Can we have more?”, “Will you come back again?”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Well you KNOW what I said right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Of course and there's lots more!" </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So as I write this while mum and I fly home, Fiona and I have already set the wheels in motion to take Biomechanics Coaching™ to the Isle of Man. </span></p>
