ABOUT
LOUISE
BATEMAN
Hello, thanks for taking the time,
My name is Louise and I have been thinking about movement since I can remember. At the age five I began dance classes, learning Ballet, Modern and Ballroom/Latin then continued experiencing a variety of dance forms including African, Flamenco and Contemporary ballet attending different schools in London and the South East.
In my early 20's I found Martial Arts and have learnt 9 different styles and forms over 30 years.
I am an experienced therapist with over 25 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 along side some of our most experience Advanced Soft Tissue, Body Work and Movement Therapists and teachers.
​
The change from Dancing to Rehab / Pain management was in September 2001 when I gained my first Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage.
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 positive for an autoimmune disease and my search for keeping my body as pain free and moving began.
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!
