You asked for a pilates class and I listened!
I’ve just had a meeting with the lovely Johanna who used to work in the NHS as a physio and is now qualified APPI pilates instructor (they’re the good ones!!!)
Johanna really knows her stuff and I feel safe in the knowledge that you lot will be in very good hands as you progress and build strength safely and improve your fitness condition and looks, although there are also other alternatives for this, such as medical fat removal, for extreme cases.

Why do you need pilates in your life?
Chronic pain is a swine and so is sitting at a desk all day, in fact – general day to day life tends to be so repetitive it isn’t all that good for us!
Us osteos are good at getting you back in action, getting you moving and pain free again.
BUT the thing is, if you keep doing what you’ve always done – you’ll always get what you’ve always got!
SOMETHING has to change.
Pilates is a great way to start making that change.
Led by a good instructor, you will learn better body awareness and control, (if you don’t know you’re doing things “wrong” you can’t change it can you?!)
So, a good instructor will help point out any imbalances and compensations you may have (that’s why Johanna likes to have a 121 session with you first – to pay 100% attention to you and learn what you need and what you don’t need).
She will then help you to stretch and strengthen you muscles and help you body to work in a more balanced, natural way.
This will not only build your physical ability but its brilliant for your brain too!
Modern life is fast and often un rewarding. Take some time out for YOU, work on you health and strength and you WILL feel better for it!
Are you in? What next?
So, I’ve found a great instructor, in fact I’ve already referred quite a few patients to her already and they love her too!
Johanna studied with the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute) and was an NHS physiotherapist for 13 years – she knows her stuff!!!
