You need no previous experience of Pilates!
In our initial consultation we will discuss how issues have affected you and what you would like to achieve - in layman's terms! We will then get straight into checking your current movement patterns with a few exercises, plus taking you through the basics of safe Pilates exercise.
Jenny will design a program, made up of face-to-face in person or online sessions and home practice sets, to move you towards your goals, targeting the areas needing attention and taking into account any improvements or additional issues along the way. Programs may involve strengthening your core or limb muscles, increasing flexibility or evening out imbalances throughout your whole body. If you are undergoing treatment with a health professional their diagnosis and remedial plan will be incorporated to quicken your recovery.
Every face-to-face session is aimed at your pace and level. Each movement is demonstrated first, then explained with visual cues or by guiding the movement. Feedback is given on your progress along the way and the next session is adapted accordingly, taking into account how your body is reacting.
Exercise mats and aids are provided for individual home visits. To practice between sessions, you will need your own equipment. If you don't have your own, we suggest purchasing
high quality equipment.
Jenny carries out assessments in the comfort of your own home, but may then offer subsequent sessions as individual live online or in person sessions and/or give advice as part of your personal plan: making Pilates movements less of a chore and more of a way of life!
