<b>If you had been sitting beside me last week when I sent out the
"Why DON'T You Read Our Emails?" <a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com">Juicemail</a> you would have probably wondered what the hell was going on!</b>

The constant ping of emails coming in responding to the SMALL PRINT would have probably driven you nuts, for me it was mind blowing!!

Seriously I am stunned and humbled and so grateful to EVERY single one of you who took the time to reply….

<i>Thank you for the chance to win a free 1 day workshop.  I loved your sessions at the Spin Convention in Blackpool and think you are almost the only one that keep sending information and e-mails, which I love! After studying for 2 years and not sorting things, I ended up with 1500 mails in my inbox...slowly but surely now I am getting my life back to normal and more organised. So yes, if the mail is too long I am now quick to just unsubscribe and move on.  Have to say, yours are always perfect to read as I move in between my appointments daily. Thank you for all the interesting reads, I am constantly learning and love it!</i>

<i>Your emails keep me questioning my commitment to my professional development and my clients and that keeps me on my game!</i>

RD

<i>Read the small print lol. Love these emails they keep me motivated to learn more</i>

DS

<i>informative, educational, and easier and quicker to do than 'juicing' in a blender!
Read, absorb, practice….</i>

SH

<i>Love the emails thanks and will be booking onto courses soon!
Cheers</i>

<i>Ha!  I do save them and read them in a block but I like to do that.
With doing cricket 6 days a week this term I have NO head space for anything else so with half term from tomorrow you know what I will be doing!
Looking forward to catching up with them.</i>

<i>Lots of love</i>

<i>I love reading your emails! They are factual ground breaking information that helps and inspires me when I need it most! Please keep sending them out I receive nothing else quite like it.
Best wishes </i>

<i>I love your emails!
I read, I share and I store for future reference!
One particular favourite was about the book Body by Science, which I bought and devoured! My husband has been following it and has recorded amazing results - I am constantly sharing little gems from the book to friends, clients and anyone who will listen! I think book sales have probably rocketed since your blog - you should get a commission!
I hope to enrol on your coaching course in spring 2017 when I've completed some further Pilates training this year.
Keep it up - hugely inspirational and informative!</i>

<i>Hi Rachel
Personally I love receiving your emails &#x1f60a;.
I find them interesting and the articles very useful in improving my knowledge.
I would love some information on becoming a biomechanics coach, and have a question: I noticed that the biomechanics coaches who have written articles are qualified in sports massage. Is this a qualification you recommend having before doing the biomechanics coach qualification? It is one I don't have at the moment.
Kind regards</i>

Congratulations to the Winner...

<i>Hi Rachel,</i>

<i>Very interesting timing!  I have red flagged your email ‘assumptions’ as I wanted to reply to it...but so far have just not had time!   I do read all your juicemails with interest (apart, I must admit, from the golf ones, where I try to be interested but loose it on the 5</i><i><sup>th</sup></i><i> paragraph of detail about swing and torsion!!).</i>

<i>The more I have learnt over the years, the more confusing my job as an exercise teacher becomes.  It used to be short &amp; tight = stretch it    long and weak = strengthen it!   Now I realise there can be any combination of those issues, along with issues involving the nerves, psychological factors, all with many different ‘methods’ of help/intervention/relief.  How can I possibly know how to help when I am only an exercise teacher and there are so many possible ‘issues’ which I could make either better – or worse – during my classes?  So, is it a 50/50 chance of improvement?  Even if I did a 1:1 screening, would the rate of improvement be better?  How do we even define improvement? </i>

<i>Minefield! </i>

<i>I remember during FFY training, being in awe of Jayne Nichols when she said bravely “ I tell anyone with injuries to ‘Get Out of my class’!”  I could definitely not do that with my customer base, I would have nobody left!   Although I would love to do some ‘hard-core’ workouts, I have to learn to manage the injuries/restrictions/limitations that present themselves along with my loyal customers.</i>

<i>I use a combination of many different approaches over the course of my pilates classes.  Gentle mobility – stretching – prickle ball release – anti spasms – and a variety of progressive strengthening exercises, in a bid to cover all bases.  I explain the benefits/pitfalls and hope that my customers will find something in the ‘toolbox’ that works for them.  The more I expose myself to different techniques and learn more, the deeper my toolbox becomes. </i>

<i>I am lucky to have regular customers, allowing us to ‘trial’ different methods and then be around to see the effects.     But even gentle exercises can destabilise the fine balance of a body ‘coping’.  When releasing restrictions, we have to make sure we then give the body another means of support.  I regularly see emails/ articles advocating the 20/20 technique, describing how to release away all the restrictions, but with no mention of the ‘strengthening’ and toning which should follow up.  So even the gentlest intervention can be problematic.</i>

<i>I used to wish I could be more precise, but now I am not sure that is either advisable, or possible.    Even if I know the exact issue a person is working with, I cannot predict how their body will respond to, or control the individual’s ‘performance’ of,  a given exercise.   How do I know an exercise won’t hurt somebody, worsen their condition or create new problems?  The answer is, I don’t, all I can do is add to that toolbox.</i>

Congratulations CM!!
