29 April 2026 meeting: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!

By Clifton WI -



We were delighted to meet Claire Callaghan, a hugely experienced, Bristol-based, physiotherapist specialising in female health, well-being and performance. 

It was hugely interesting to hear about the particular issues affecting women from perimenopause and beyond and the health challenges we face as our oestrogen levels reduce. 

Bringing many years of wisdom, and an obvious passion for her work, Claire shared advice and information on how to protect and support our joints and bone strength, giving us all plenty of ideas about the different ways we can look after ourselves and how to manage and address specific conditions. 

You can find out more about Claire on her website: www.clairecallaghan.com.

  We had such a lovely, entertaining walk with Hidden and Haunted Bristol, in place of our typical monthly meeting! It was hot, hot, hot out there, but we pushed on and cooled off at the pub. The refreshments were well-earned, and the company was incomparable. Our next meeting will be at Alma Hall at 7.30pm on 28 August. Our speaker is from Somerset Road Safety, and he will be discussing road safety and having an interactive evening where we can all hone our skills as drivers.  As always, visitors are welcome to come along with a £5 donation, and we look forward to seeing everyone there.
