WHAT IS Pilates?
An exercise system of precision and control.
Pilates is an exercise system which balances muscle groups and strengthens stabilising muscles to improve biomechanics and postural alignment. It works muscles through full range of motion which is why it is often associated as a stretch method as well. It was originally named Contrology by Joseph Pilates and the contemporary version I teach puts emphasis on the stability of the shoulder complex as well as the pelvis and lumbar spine. I use both small equipment on the mat and BASI Systems equipment to offer the best possible movement considerations for the client.

Pilates for Athletic Performance & Recovery
I love to Cycle, Run, Ski, play Tennis and Padel and I hope to be doing it all for as long as I can. I have used Pilates myself in training for several endurance events from XC running races and Triathlon to mountain bike stage racing abroad. I highly recommend it for preventing injury and improving 'mind-body' connection.

Pilates is great for athletes because it can rebalance muscle groups where necessary to prevent injury and therefore give someone more longevity in their sport. It will compliment strength training by giving you stability and muscular endurance. It is also an excellent form of active recovery.
I specialise in Shoulder stability and injury prevention for the Cyclist as a personal interest but Pilates can be applied to many other sports.

Golf
Equestrian Sports
Watersports
Climbing
Skiing
