Stand Tall

I’ve gone through the process from the dancer who felt like everyone’s bodies just worked better to a specialist with the knowledge as to why. I'm Sophie, a Postural Alignment Specialist trained in the Egoscue Technique; I’m here to help and give you the tools to understanding your own misalignments and address the root cause. Before specialising in postural alignment, I trained at one of the UK’s leading dance conservatoires and went on to perform internationally. My years of professional dance experience has given me a deep understanding of the physical demands placed on the body, as well as the importance of structural balance for both performance and longevity. This background allows me to combine technical knowledge with lived experience, supporting clients in optimising alignment, preventing injury, and enhancing overall performance. My work is designed not simply to relieve discomfort, but to restore the body’s natural alignment, efficiency, and resilience. If you’re ready to optimise your performance and fulfil your potential , get in touch, I’d love to help you on your journey with a postural assessment and a personalised alignment exercise routine to completely transform how you dance and move.

I am a passionate Egoscue trained Postural Alignment Therapist at ByStudioM. Committed to optimizing performance and preventing injuries for dancers and athletes. Dedicated to helping individuals achieve peak physical and mental well-being through personalized holistic approaches. My passion for posture and postural alignment started when my daughter wanted to become a dancer and I wanted to understand why dancers were so different in their abilities, after all, we all have the same building blocks. I now understand how we stand, walk, move is not genetic but as a result of our inbuilt mechanism to mimic those around us whether they be parents, wider family or even friends. Eventually I discovered Pete Egoscue's book, Pain Free, and finally started to really understand how we are supposed to be and that over time, perhaps because of injury but definitely because of lifestyle, our mobility becomes compromised so we move less and hurt more. Of course, we put our aches and pains down to getting old, perhaps get hip or knee replacements and wonder why we still have aches and pains albeit elsewhere in our bodies. And yet, with simple but highly powerful exercises we can all reverse much of the posture misalignments which lead to pain and regain much of our mobility, pain free. Having spent the last three years helping young and older, I really want to concentrate on helping dancers, sportsmen and athletes understand posture, it's place as an essential tool on their journey to achieve their full potential and avoid injury.
