Health, wellbeing & performance expert for women and girls

Leading women’s health Physiotherapist, speaker & writer

I am a CHARTERED PHYSIOTHERAPIST with 25+ years of experience, and specialise in female health, wellbeing and performance. I bring a unique understanding of women’s needs, aches, pains, stiffness and the common changes and challenges they go through. My female specific, holistic and practical approach helps women to move well, gain confidence and strength and stay resilient through midlife and beyond. I help women manage their energy levels and optimise performance.       

I work with women in group settings in person and online. This is in the form of Masterclasses to workplace groups, sports groups and women’s groups. I do keynote speaking and workshops at events and festivals, and provide professional education as part of continuous professional development for health and fitness professionals. 

I am based in BS9 in Bristol, and travel regularly to London, Birmingham, Bath, Cardiff and around the south west of England to deliver Masterclasses and speaking engagements.

I am available for clinical 1:1 consultations by arrangement.

  • "Jam packed, informative, actionable session which gave lots of helpful ideas rather than simply terrifying the perimenopausal woman!"

    PAULA, PERIMENOPAUSE AND RUNNING MASTERCLASS ATTENDEE

  • "Claire Callaghan recently spoke to our Real Good Fitness group, and she was absolutely brilliant. She shared incredibly useful, practical information about how to look after our bodies, and tailored everything to our needs. We’re a mixed-age group of women with questions about everything from neck pain to foot issues—and Claire took it all in stride. She guided us through stretches and exercises to help prevent injuries and answered every question thoughtfully and thoroughly. It’s clear she really knows her stuff and has a genuine passion for helping people feel their best. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again—our group got so much from her session."

    KAREN S, REAL GOOD FITNESS GROUP

  • "Claire has delivered excellent sessions on exercise, wellbeing, back pain, ergonomics and women's health as part of our ongoing wellness programme. Our staff greatly benefited from the sessions and we have noted quantifiable changes as a a result. I would recommend similar sessions to others.​"

  • "Claire provided information for a range of activity levels in a relaxed and informal way. The Masterclass was a good combination of science and practical advice to use immediately, whatever your level of fitness."

    KIRSTY V, MASTERCLASS ATTENDEE

  • "A thoroughly informative and enjoyable event learning a host of new things to take forward in dealing with my menopause. I would thoroughly recommend this seminar for any woman - regardless of where she is in her journey... wish I’d had this info earlier"

    KAREN A

  • "A really useful session - well presented and informative. Claire used a great mix of chat and demonstrations, with advice and useful links"

  • " I really like the idea of being able to exercise at different levels. It's good to know small changes make a big difference and you don't have to go 'hardcore' or nothing. Claire explained movement in a way that makes it achievable. I found the examples very practical and easy to remember and implement. Thank you!"

  • “Thank you Claire, this is a brilliant subject, and there is loads of new information. You are a great teacher"
