A great deal of lower back pain comes from poor posture and our daily mistreatment of our spines. By re-aligning your spine and imprioving your posture, lower back pain can often be eliminated entirely.

One in two women and one in five men over the age of 50 in the UK will break a bone, mainly because of a bone disorder called osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects three million people in the UK every year, with bones (and particularly those of the spine, wrist and hips) becoming thin and weak and susceptible to fractures. By promoting good posture and balance, pilates can actively help you avoid becoming one of those people.

Pilates is a gentle form of exercise that literally re-introduces you to your own body. The better you understand your body and how it works, the easier it will be for you to release tension, relax and beat the stresses and strains of modern life.

Stress incontinence is the most common form of incontinence and affects over three million people in the UK. A common cause of this type of incontinence in women is pregancy, where the pelvic floor muscles can be weakened. This can also happen as we get older. Pilates will help you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, thereby curing what can be a very distressing problem for sufferers. A further bonus is that improving these muscles after childbirth can also improve your sex life.
