The Benefits of Pilates for your Team
Our bodies weren’t designed to spend long hours sitting at a desk or in front of a computer... and sitting for long hours contributes to postural problems, back aches and stiff joints. So it’s not surprising that the two main reasons for sick days in the UK are due to musculoskeletal problems and stress.
I practice Stott Pilates, the original method based on modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation. My main focus will be on using core stability, balancing muscular strength and flexibility. I advise on specific exercises that fit perfectly into the working day: before you begin, as a break midway, or to guide you into the evening. And we can be as energetic or calm as you wish...
