Pilates offers both mental and physical training, teaching you to be in control of your body.

''I can’t praise the benefits of Pilates enough. For me initially it was  about managing pain. To a degree that is still so but it’s also about how my body has changed for the better.  I can’t imagine any reason why I would ever stop practising Pilates.”  Julia, Artist

Pilates for Rehabilitation
Many people are introduced to Pilates as part of their treatment after they have suffered an injury.  The exercises performed are gentle - but that doesnt mean you dont have to make an effort!   It is also ideally suited for people suffering with chronic health problems such as back pain.   That is why osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners are now recommending Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.

Pilates for Performance
Pilates focuses on working the body as a whole; strengthening weak muslces and stretching overused or tight muscles.  The technique improves the fleixbility of the joints and lengthens the spine.  This all helps to produce a more balanced body and better patterns of movement - reducing the potential for injury.  Specialised sessions which focus on sport specific exercise programmes are available.
