Pilates for movement
"Motion is lotion" is one of our favourite sayings, and for good reason. Movement warms and lubricates our joints, getting rid of unwanted stiffness and/or discomfort. Pilates is a great way to get you moving and to strengthen your body, in a gentle yet effective way. Pilates gives you a chance to move in a mindful way and is a lovely opportunity to give your brain a "break".

WORKSHOP ON BACK CARE
The Physio world celebrated Back Week earlier this month, 1st - 8th September, as well as World Physical Therapy Day on the 8th. These days provide Physios world-wide with the opportunity to raise awareness about the role we play in keeping people well, mobile and independent.
We are running a workshop for clients with current or recurrent back issues. It is ideal for anyone wanting to educate themselves on ways to manage their lower back pain, correct their workstation ergonomics and to move in a way that supports a healthy posture, by focusing on strengthening and stretching exercises.
The workshop is run over 3 weeks and it covers a variety of topics associated with back issues as well as teaching you to manage your back, thus empowering you to treat yourself. Our next course dates are the 26th of September, 3rd and 10th of October. If a session is missed it can be made up in the next three-week course. Give us a call to book your spot before time runs out!
