What is it?

Pilates is a holistic exercise method, which works on conditioning the whole body through a range of movements and exercises. It complements physiotherapy as it is designed to:-

  • Improve postural awareness
  • Improve suppleness and flexibility
  • Strengthen muscles – with emphasis on “the core”
  • Encourages relaxation
  • Improve circulation and breathing patterns
  • Improve muscle imbalances within the body, aiming to restore balance
Who is it for?

Anyone, all ages and abilities

For example:-

  • A person who is in chronic pain, to help strengthen the body to improve quality of life
  • The athlete (any level), to restore muscle balance and work on higher level of core strength
  • Post injury, to possibly help prevent recurrence
  • The first time exerciser, to build up some fitness
One to one sessions

One to one sessions are available with a physiotherapist, who has extensive post training in pilates. These sessions are designed to target problem areas and to help gain a deeper understanding of exercise and to give confidence to the complete beginner. The number of sessions is flexible and will be discussed with your physiotherapist, but 3-6 sessions prior to starting a class is recommended.
