Thank you for checking out my page and please let me introduce myself. I am Sarah Reid, Physio. Yoga Therapist, Yoga & Pilates Teacher and mother to two beautiful girls.

I have worked in the field of musculo-skeletal physiotherapy since graduating in 2001.

Qualifications:
From an early age I became fascinated with human movement and all the elements which contribute to it. I began studying dance from around age three and studied ballet, jazz and modern throughout my youth and continued with ballet up to my late teenage years. From this love of movement and observing the human body I became interested in a career in physiotherapy and directed my studies this way.
I graduated with a first class honours degree in physiotherapy from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2001 and gained the Kistler prize for the highest overall year mark. Throughout my time at university I became interested in Karate and studied Tai Karate for 3 years which further augmented my love of human movement and sparked my interest in eastern philosophy. I was able to utilise this passion and studied the effects of karate training on hamstring flexibility in my undergraduate thesis.
My early career began in the hospital setting where I gained experience in numerous fields and realised that my passion remained in field of movement and exercise. I went on to study a post graduate Master’s degree at the Universities of Glasgow, in Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise. During this time I further explored my interest in Ancient Eastern medicine and completed an acupuncture course which I then used in my Post graduate MSc thesis, studying the effects of acupuncture on muscle performance. I completed this degree in 2005 and started working full time in the musculoskeletal field.
- BSc (HONS) Physiotherapy (First Class).
- MSc Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise.
- Post graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy
- 350 hours Yoga Teacher Training (My Health Yoga).
- Post Graduate Certificate Yoga Therapy (Enlightened Events 2017)

When I got married in 2006, my husband and I traveled the world where were fortunate to dive to the depths of the ocean in the Maldives and Thailand and climb to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. During this time I first embraced the use of the word Namaste and its many meanings. After our year travelling our passion for the outdoor life lead us to emigrate to Australia and I began studying Yoga and my love of yoga practice was established.
My own personal Yoga practice and it's philosophies have got me through some difficult times and after having my first daughter, my priorities and attitude towards my career direction and life was challenged. I felt drawn to further study yoga and commenced my teacher training. I then went on to have another daughter and realized that I was naturally incorporating more and more yoga into my physio practice and decided to pursue a post graduate diploma in yoga therapy, I see many similarities between the ancient teaching of yoga and physiotherapy and realize how much the two disciplines complement each other. I hope to be able to draw from my knowledge of both these areas to provide sound evidence based practice of movement analysis and exercise prescription.
