First wealth is health

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803 - 1882

Pilates

‘Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.’ – Joseph Pilates

For what conditions is Pilates treatment most successful?

In addition:

whip lash and spinal injury; disc injury maintenance or conditions such as scoliosis kyphosis; knee, hip and shoulder rehabilitation; repetitive strain injuries, for example carpal tunnel or tennis elbow.

Pilates is strongly endorsed by a wide range of health professions as one of the safest forms of remedial exercise.

How many classes will I be expected to take?

There is no fixed answer to this question as needs and rate of response will vary from one client to another. This will be carefully assessed at your first class and a completely personal and individually tailored programme will be designed for you. Anna has many long-term clients who attend regular weekly classes as part of their general health, fitness and well-being discipline.

‘In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in twenty you will see the difference, and in thirty you will have a whole new body.’
