I have been practicing Pilates since 2000 & qualified as a teacher in 2007.  Pilates is a wonderful system of therapeutic exercises that I've seen support people in managing pain and moving with greater ease.  At the beginning of my career, I taught Pilates primarily as a form of fitness.  Over time, I began to see how valuable Pilates could be in supporting people with pain and movement difficulties, and this gradually changed the way I work.  Today, I use Pilates as part of my approach to helping people manage pain and recover movement, including those with back problems, slipped discs, sciatica, orthopaedic conditions and those recovering from surgery.
