All our basic movements originate from this area of the body, a weak ‘core’ leads to compensatory movement patterns resulting in additional stresses on certain parts of the body, leaked energy and higher risk of injury. By enhancing the strength, flexibility and coordination of the core muscles we can improve how we transfer energy and move.

The benefits of Pilates are for all and we have classes which are tailored to all levels. Whether you are a high level athlete or have been relatively sedentary and are looking to tone up our classes can be tailored to your needs. We run small classes of a maximum of 8 people which allows us to give more individualised attention to the needs of our clients. Our classes our run by highly qualified Pilates instructors and we have a select number of Pilates classes which are lead by a chartered physiotherapist for people with rehabilitative needs.

This is a form of Pilates which is physio lead and tailored towards the needs of clients who are recovering from injury. Clinical Pilates is used as a form of rehabilitation particularly in back pain patients to aid recovery and reduce the risk of re-occurrence. It comprises a series of mat based exercises in various different positions which look to improve the strength, posture and flexibility of one’s back and hips. Our classes are small so that all our clients receive individualised attention and are open to people of all ages and ability.

Pre and Post Natal Pilates are Physio Led exercise classes specifically designed to help women during and after pregnancy regain lumbo pelvic strength, pelvic floor function and core stability. Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences for a women’s body. One of the areas that may become weakened is the pelvic floor which is the diaphragm of the pelvis and serves to support bladder and uterus function. Similarly the core muscles that support the spine, hips and pelvis can also become weakened increasing the risk of mechanical related pain. We use targeted exercises to address these common areas of weakness and regain strength.
