Pilates

Pilates is a great way to exercise in a controlled environment, isolating and focusing on the muscle areas most relevant to your needs. These very tailor made classes allow for direct interaction with a qualified instructor who will work with you directly on your needs and any related injuries.

Choose from • 1 on 1 • Machine classes (2 people) • Matt classes (4 people)

We are used to people with injuries which is where we specialise so machine classes are restricted to 2 people per session (3 dependent on individual needs) and matt classes generally have not more than 4 people per session with the maximum being 6. With small groups we can ensure there is individual attention and there is no risk of aggravating existing or old injuries focusing on weaknesses and problem areas to prevent these problems.

The Pilates method of exercise offers a focused well-controlled physical program for the whole body. While aiming to improve aspects such as strength, flexibility, co-ordination and posture, emphasis is also placed on helping clients to gain control of their body for a more balanced efficient way of moving. The exercises used in our Pilates sessions have been proven scientifically to reduce low back pain and prevent reoccurrence by up to 80% and we have many success stories in getting rid of knee, neck and shoulder problems as well as incontinence.

It is safe and effective and compliments the medical management of many injuries. Pilates is all about 'how to move', not just improving fitness. Plus, the functional strength and flexibility learnt in Pilates can be carried over into daily living habits, sports & hobbies.
