Do you suffer from Back Pain and have difficulty choosing the right form of exercise to control it?
Did you join a Pilates Exercise Group and find that you were struggling with the pain?
If so, then 1:1 Pilates (or Individual Pilates) is a fantastic form of exercise that is designed with YOU in mind. The advantage of this compared to the more ‘traditional’ group based Pilates is that all of the exercises can be tailored to your specific needs, meaning you can move at your own pace.
Our program is run by our Physiotherapists, who are Pilates trained. You can be sure that each session and exercise has been built to make sure it has the maximum benefit for you. We will build your core strength (which can have a fantastically positive effect on something such as a leaky bladder) in a consistent way by performing flowing movements, rather than the static poses used by yoga.
What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that has often been compared to Yoga. In Pilates, we concentrate on your posture, balance and flexibility. You are much less likely to injure yourself doing Pilates than other higher intensity forms of exercise. Pilates can train you to co-ordinate your breathing and your body movement. When you are doing the exercises, you become a lot more aware of your movement as it is in sync with your breathing.
We generally do mat-based exercises at Relive Physiotherapy, but we can also do some of the more advanced forms which use specialised equipment. This will provide resistance and support, but it all depends on the objective of your particular session.
