Don’t just take our word for it!
Here is my story. After a year of back pain, I had spinal surgery in September 2019 to stop that pain or so I thought! I ended up still in pain and pretty fearful of movement. I remember being frightened of twisting, tripping , falling and even bending really and was stiff and upright. I heard Pilates might help and found yourselves. I came for my introduction and it was an eye opener. I kept thinking “ I won’t be able to get into that position!” Rather embarrassingly, I remember being on my front and asking how to get out of this position! That’s how bad I was! I joined a regular class and haven’t looked back. The clear instructions for each movement, even down to when to breathe and corrections when necessary, began to give me confidence to move more. Still struggling with pain though, you gave me the details of Bernadette the physio. She has been amazing and I swear she has x-ray eyes! She knows exactly where the problem is and explains everything in simple terms so I get it! By understanding what isn’t working properly in my body I can work towards making things better. It works! I am stronger, more confident and generally, in less pain. I can now do movements in class that I couldn’t do to begin with and even a year ago. Even when I do have some discomfort, I know I need to move and stretch it out and not go into protective panic mode. I also have enough knowledge to be able to do exercise at home when things are stiff and can often be found after a day at work lying on the floor doing spine curls!
You two wonderful ladies have given me so much confidence and knowledge about how to become stronger and more flexible and I will be forever grateful.
