Pilates: Beginners Class

"Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control" Joseph Pilates

DM Physiotherapy: Pilates Studio

The beginners class is just that - meant for people who have never done Pilates before! It is recommended for men and women of all ages, who are interested in improving their fitness, posture, and well being. This is a 6-week course, and we start at least one course per month..

Pilates is particularly suitable for people who:

• Suffer from back, neck or shoulder pain
• Want to improve their posture, or need to have good posture e.g. dancers
• Do a lot of sport, and want to improve core control and muscle balance
• Are recovering from injury

The maximum class size for the beginners is 9 people, we are striving to get away from the leisure centre set up of 80 people and want to ensure that everyone is able to receive plenty of one-to-one attention.

Modern Pilates mat exercises contributed to increased quality of life in sedentary adult females through improvements in abdominal and lower back strength, posterior trunk flexibility and abdominal muscular endurance.
