ABOUT
LOUISE
BATEMAN
Hello, thanks for taking the time,
My name is Louise and I have been overthinking movement since I can remember. At the age five I began dancing learning Ballet, Modern and Ballroom/Latin and since then I have not stopped asking questions about Human Movement.
I am an experienced therapist with over 23 years qualified (2001) in this field and a previous 25 years in Dance, Choreography and Martial Arts.
I certified as a teacher and through working at some amazing schools and centres over the years it has allowed me the opportunity to work alone side some of our most experience Soft Tissue and Body Work Therapists on the globe. Its due to this and my experience that I have developed and moulded my way of working in clinic and into the Soft Tissue/Movement Therapist I am today.
​
The change from the Dancing to Rehab and Pain management was in September 2001 when I gained my first Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage. With my knowledge of movement from dancing with this delightful Diploma a passion was realised. I learnt as much as possible and developed my own theory's and Movement forms to suit my own needs.
In 2002 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It turned out I had been living with it for most of my life but because believed everyone had aches and pains like myself, I got on with it. A dear friend pointed out that this was not true so after some tests it was confirmed. With my inner knowledge of living with daily pain, I have developed The Bateman Form. A movement form that literally re-boots my body back to its healthy movements and functions which allows me to get on with the day.
​
I have enjoyed writing workshops and creating Diploma Courses for Four London based Schools while I held teaching posts .I am split between my love of teaching and being in clinic.....so I try to do both!
