Success Stories

I am now able to stand or walk all day without crippling pains in my feet. AiM Gait Therapy is one of the worlds best kept secrets that everybody needs!

Thanks for everything Becky!

Becky is a great listener and observer of the body, she is open-minded and clearly loves a challenge! Her methods are very flexible and she is able to react immediately to whatever comes up during a session. I’m delighted with the results so far. After just one session I began to see a significant improvement in the arch in my foot. Importantly, I am beginning to understand what types of movements can quickly reduce any pain or limitations that I am feeling.

Looking back, I realise the work we did with my gait was an important turning point.
It released a constant sensation and discomfort down my right leg and allowed me to move on in my yoga.
I think it is important to emphasise taking responsibility for our own health and well-being and the work each of us needs to do as we grow, with help from those with skills, knowledge and experience.

After the second session I noticed my balance was a lot better. I noticed after a few sessions that I now walk with my chin/head up which had an effect on my whole body.

The whole experience has had quite an impact on my general well-being and fitness, and has given me a more positive attitude towards myself.

I think the most surprising thing was how simple the exercises are and how quickly they have helped and how easy they are to incorporate into my day. I would put down to Becky’s skill at analysing bodies and her extensive knowledge of how a body links together and then determining which specific moves will best help.

I felt a deep but really good fatigue in my upper legs, glutes and a bit in the lower back. Yet more mobile in my calves, soleus and feet. Really cool! Walking felt different in a good way last night. I really enjoyed the session and found it really interesting too. It broke a lot of fitness “rules” and turned them in to fallacies very quickly! Brilliant.

Thanks again. It was a truly liberating experience.

I’ve had lower back pain on and off since having children. This past year I’ve had more constant pain, not particularly brought on by any obvious movement. I’ve got to the stage of lots of pain killers just to get through the day and so thought I’d give Becky and AiM a go.

1st session and Becky asked lots of questions, got me to stand and walk and move toes around. Then with the use of some foam wedges and movement my foot muscles were “woken up” and when asked what I was feeling all I could say was “it feels weird”. This was aching in muscles I didn’t know existed in my foot and leg that felt completely different to the back pain I was experiencing. I felt like I’d done a lower body workout, all without getting out of breath. I was given 3 exercises for homework and sent some videos to help remember what to do. I slept well that night.

I came back 2 weeks later, having struggled with some of the exercises due to my knee not liking it (I’ve had a knee issue since a teenager), but also having reduced back pain. Becky reviewed what I’d done and did some more wedge work before modifying the exercises slightly to suit my knee and amazingly it stopped hurting. Even during the session, I could feel progress with the back pain, having reduced intensity.

A day on from the 2nd session and I really feel I’ve made progress, back pain is less intense and over a smaller area. I’m able to progress further with the exercises and my knee isn’t grumbling so much. I’m looking forward to further progress as I continue with the exercises.

I have had a number of AiM sessions to sort my lower back issues out. Having taken years to get in this mess retraining my body has not been easy or quick (my stubbornness not Becky’s techniques). Becky doesn’t just look at the physical problem but also the whole person. I’ve appreciated being able to chat through issues and realised that I need to listen to my body and look after it rather than just expect it to cope with everything I throw at it. Exercises that appear simple can result in aches as muscles are “woken up”. My posture has now improved, my back pain gone (and when I get grumbling pains I know how to stop them progressing) and I am more in tune with my body. My body is now able to attend Becky’s “Pilates with a Twist” classes which are continuing the good work and are so much fun. Thanks Becky for your holistic approach and making it so enjoyable.

Since my 1 to 1 sessions with Becky I have been conscientious in practicing the special exercises that Becky has suggested and find that my toes move more easily and my bunions seem to be reducing. I can stand more erect and use my leg muscles more fully. My blood pressure is down and I have lost 2 stone in weight with a much healthier attitude towards physical activities. She has also made me aware of the importance of some quiet downtime in my life.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you Becky for everything I feel so positive with what I can achieve with your help and guidance and I promise to do all my homework.

Appreciate your speedy & rich email of information. After our session I felt pretty happy. Some aches, yes, although nothing dramatic. Interestingly, I have been walking more softly for the past couple of days. Amazing what can be achieved in a single session with the right targeted movement.

I did find last week that I felt bloody great after doing the homework exercises – so much so that when I went out for a walk in the evening, I actually felt much more fluid which was lovely!

Just to let you know that the exercises are relieving the discomfort and the groin pain has gone, if I feel it twinge a couple of the movements you gave me sort it out.

Hi Becky, thank you so much for the detailed guidance. As always your approach and support is very much appreciated. My leg is feeling different this morning, something has shifted (in my head too).
