Empower Pilates

Having a week off in Wales with my family and friends. No escaping the pilates though ūüėŹ No mats so beach towels it was! Followed by healthy shots... slightly different from the night before! See you all back in the studio next week! X

To all my long term clients... you know how long I‚Äôve waited for this ūüėā

What are the odds of bumping into one of your 6pm Wednesday Pilates clients at 6pm on Wednesday at Manchester airport ?! ūüėā #pilatesinterminal3

Good Morning all,
Here is my Physio Led Pilates timetable for September, if you know anyone who would be interested in daytime classes let them know there are spaces! Those of you on the waiting list for evening classes, I'm trying my best to add extra classes etc, thank you for your patience!

Quote from the creator of Pilates here! Looks like I have a bunch of very young clients judging by the performances this week! Those roll downs must be paying off eh?

Just received some lovely feedback from a client’s daughter who I taught back in March! Proving Pilates is for anyone and any age (this lady was 80+)! Nice to see she’s maintaining the daily exercises I left her with after the block.

Holiday Help for Backs!
Holidays, yay, everybody loves them. However, sometimes your back wont. Long flights, a change on mattress, flights and a change in activity level can all contribute to back pain. Here are some top tips for keeping your backs healthy on holiday: ‚ÄĘ Packing ‚Äď keep your case as near to waist height as possible to avoid prolonged bent over postures. ‚ÄĘ Luggage ‚Äď when lifting your case, use the handles, keep it close to your body and engage your core! (It i...s also acceptable to ‚ÄĘ Hand Luggage ‚Äď avoid one shoulder bags, rucksacks are best! ‚ÄĘ Flights ‚Äď move around as able when on board. Gentle neck and ankle stretches will ease any stiffness there. Before they call your flight try and stay active. Don‚Äôt sit for two hours before getting on a plane to sit for even longer!! ‚ÄĘ Pool ‚Äď If you are lucky enough to have a pool or access to the sea then use it! Swimming is fab for your core and even just walking up and down the pool is excellent. Of course, you can also increase the difficulty of this exercise whilst carefully sipping an iced cocktail at the same time. ‚ÄĘ Move ‚Äď as tempting as it is to lounge on the sunbed all day, be sure to change position regularly! Stretching your legs is important, and if you find an ice cream on the way, well that‚Äôs just a bonus. ‚ÄĘ Footwear ‚Äď if only pottering around the pool then ill accept flip flops but you are walking any longer distances try and wear more supportive shoes! Not only will if help your pelvis/back, it will also help prevent complaints such as planter fasciitis and shin splints. ‚ÄĘ Stretches ‚Äď when you wake up and go to sleep! Lumbar rolls, cat/cow and roll downs are all perfect for quick fixes that target the whole spine.
Hopefully these will help you get the most out of a well-earned break!
