Pilates is a form of exercise first developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's that gained popularity as it was adopted by physiotherapists as a form of rehabilitation exercise in the 1990's. Physiofit Pilates combines these traditional Pilates movements with stability techniques used in Physiotherapy to provide a safe form of exercise accessible to all.
Pilates aims to rebalance the body improving posture, strength, balance and flexibility. Physiofit Pilates targets both mind and body with smooth flowing movements co-ordinated with efficient breathing. The progressive, functional exercises are ideal for everyone from those recovering from injury to athletes wishing to enhance performance.
Pilates has been proved to be beneficial in the prevention and rehabilitation of many injuries and conditions including back pain, neck pain and arthritis. It is recommended by many health professionals. The focus on correct breathing movement can also benefit those suffering from asthma or stress related conditions.
Physiofit Pilates classes are taught at our purpose built Pilates studios. The main studio, a converted stable block, provides a relaxing, open space for up to 12 participants. There is mirrored wall which is invaluable for correcting technique and the under floor heating ensures an ambient atmosphere. The Oak Room studio in Walnut Tree House accommodates small group classes of up to 5 participants.
In both studios we have small equipment available such as the fitness ball, resistance band and wobble cushion. There is full disabled access and a pleasant waiting area.
Physiofit individual Pilates sessions are held in the personal Pilates training room in Walnut Tree House. Here we have the Core Pilot machine, a modern version of the original Pilates reformer, along with fitness balls, wobble boards and cushions, resistance bands and fitness circles.
