I am Pilates trained at level 3 which is the highest accredited
Pilates qualification and continue to update my knowledge through
additional training and workshops. You can never know enough
about how the human body works. I also have a level 4 qualification
in Low Back Pain which ensures you are in safe, knowledgable
hands if you are being referred by a physiotherapist (or other)
to Pilates to help manage your back condition. If you are pregnant
or a new mum you may also be interested to know I have a level
3 qualification in pre and post natal exercise.
Pilates has become a household name. It is an empowering method
of exercising and suitable for most people. It is especially
suitable for those suffering from back conditions. Pilates is
a series of exercises which involves working the muscles from
the inside out. It often means changing what our bodies have
become used to following years of incorrect posture, lifestyle
and occupation stresses and injuries to name but a few. Pilates
helps to re-educate the brain and the muscle recruitment with
the result of restoring good posture and alignment; the body
is then able to move more efficiently and effectively. Pilates
is excellent also for the older person and for individuals with
Parkinsons, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis although there
will need to be some specific exercise prescription. All Pilates
exercises do not suit everyone.
I teach Pilates as a course (click
for details) and I can provide individual or small group
tuition. The emphasis is always on technique; it has to be.
Whatever level you are, at the end of a Pilates session
you will always feel lengthened, stretched and relaxed.
In this frenetic paced life this is truly beneficial.
All courses limited to 12 persons.
NB If you are familiar with Pilates, it may be possible to
join a course part way through. Just phone or email to discuss.
