Pilates

Pilates addresses the importance of core stability and provides an understanding of correct posture and muscle use, thereby reducing injury and providing rehabilitation when injury occurs. Based upon an anatomical understanding of the body’s muscular and skeletal systems, Anna Tetlow Pilates will create a comprehensive remedial programme for each client.

Individual sessions or small group classes will focus on specific areas individually or of common concern whilst using exercises to integrate the whole body to re-educate and restore it to optimum muscular and skeletal function. Pilates can be beneficial and adaptable for just about everyone regardless of age and fitness level.

Internalizing this awareness is a basic requirement for all highly developed body skills whether demonstrated by a professional dancer, gymnast, athlete, footballer or professional musician. It also provides the necessary remedial insights when injury occurs to enable a rapid recovery. Clients with less specialized complaints will benefit enormously from regular sessions and exercises to promote a better understanding of overall conditioning and muscle toning. In addition regular Pilates treatment promotes greater awareness of general body posture, movement and correct use of muscles. The promotion of Pilates exercising is highly beneficial to maintain a sense of physical and mental health and general well-being.

It is this holistic approach that sets Pilates apart from other forms of exercise. Osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners recommend Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today. Read More...
