You don’t need to be slim or athletic or a celebrity to enjoy or benefit from Pilates
Pilates isn't necessarily about aiming to look like Elle Macpherson (some of us will never be that tall), it can be as simple as reaching the top shelf in the supermarket again, improving your tennis game or marathon record, or waking up each morning without a crick in your back.

Pilates for Injury Recovery and Prevention Pilates is the perfect recovery program to follow after you have suffered an injury. Low-impact, specifically targeted exercises get you moving again and address imbalances in the muscles around the affected joints. Ongoing strength training then works to keep you balanced and prevent further injury. |

Pilates for Pregnancy Pilates helps you to strengthen and balance the muscles which support the growing baby and keeps your whole body feeling strong and stable. It reduces the risk of developing aches and pains in the lower back and joints, and helps you recover more quickly after the birth. |

Pilates and Cancer Treatment for cancer has a tremendous impact on your body, not to mention the long period of inactivity most people will go through. Gentle Pilates practice relieves the ongoing effects of treatment and helps you recover your strength and mobility after treatment ends. |

Pilates for Staying Young As we age, it becomes even more important to stay strong and mobile. Pilates is the perfect system for maintaining bone strength (important for men too!) and maintaining everyday flexibility. Keeping a strong core and continuing exercises that challenge stability also helps to prevent falls and injuries. |
