Holistic Exercise Studio Pilates

Injury and pain

Pain is often associated with poor compensatory patterns from injury, postural habits or repetitive movements.

Our instructors will teach you better movement patterns, correct joint placement and help you develop long, strong muscle tone that is both functional and efficient from the inside out.

Pre & Post surgery

Studies have shown that people who attend a specific exercise program pre surgery have a much higher rate of success with recovery post surgery. Any surgical procedure is a major invasion to your body and preparation is key for successful long term health. With a focus on injury support and safe movement practices, we will work on core strength and improved function. Following your surgery we will support you on your way to optimal strength and mobility with a focussed, individualised program.

Pregnancy

An exciting and often overwhelming time. If you are suffering back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica or incontinence, or if you just need to move, we will educate and support you right up until the final phase of your pregnancy. We can help you stay strong and supple, educate you about each trimester and give you safe options as your body changes. Pilates prepares you for a connected birth experience and supports a faster recovery.

Sports & Athletes

If you are an athlete, semi professional sports person or someone who has a specific sports goal, studio Pilates can set you apart from your competitors. With a focus on better, more efficient movement patterns, Pilates will give you endurance and improve your technique. Used as a cross training form of exercise for elite athletes, an individually tailored program will give you the edge to succeed.

Neurological conditions

This includes Multiple sclerosis, brain tumours, Parkinsons, stroke, spinal cord injuries and any condition that effects the nervous system or neural pathways from the brain to body. Pilates can help you achieve better proprioception, understanding where your body is in space, increased spatial awareness, improved motor skills and general strength and conditioning. Unlike many modalities, Pilates takes the time needed to educate you on why you may be feeling or not feeling things and our instructors have the education to help you succeed on your journey toward better, stronger movement.

Cancer

If you are currently going through cancer treatment Pilates is a gentle, thoughtful movement practice that can keep you exercising during treatment. If you are in remission or post treatment, have had surgery or prefer one on one care our instructors will cater to your needs either one on one or in a small group class so that you can exercise at your own capacity and feel empowered and motivated.
