Pilates

Pilates is an exercise regime developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900’s. 

Initially the technique was used by dancers, but we now know that when techniques are guided by a physiotherapist, using a programme specifically tailored to your needs, great benefit can be achieved. 

The basis of these techniques focus on core strength and stability.  It is particularly good in the management of back pain and a terrific adjunct to your fitness regime.
