Testimonials
Our very patient teacher/physiotherapist takes each of us through the various exercises from the first level, the second, and sometimes further, at our individual paces, encouraging and supporting us throughout. At the end of the hour session, I always feel I have made significant progress.
I have been attending the Modified Pilates Exercise programme for lower back pain for the past two years. The classes have been most helpful, and I have benefited them in many ways. We have learned how to relax our muscles and keep our joints in neutral alignment.
Huge thank you for your help and expertise in keeping me flexible, healthier (and up right!) for another year. Also the efforts you put into our classes are fantastic!
Thank you for your huge help to me over the last weeks. I was knocked for six with my fibromyalgia diagnosis and you have helped me, with your kindness and brilliant teaching, to feel better about myself.
