Postnatal Pilates

 

Rebuild Strength & Confidence After Birth

 

Postnatal Pilates is designed to support your recovery after childbirth by safely rebuilding core strength, improving posture, and addressing common postnatal issues such as abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pelvic floor dysfunction, and lower back pain. 

 

Led by a qualified physiotherapist, these one-to-one sessions are tailored to your stage of recovery and personal goals.

 

With a focus on gentle, controlled movements and expert guidance, postnatal Pilates helps restore balance and function—whether you're returning to exercise, managing discomfort, or simply looking to reconnect with your body in a supportive, clinical setting.

Pilates for Horse Riders

 

Enhance Balance, Posture & Connection in the Saddle

 

Equestrian Pilates supports riders by improving core strength, postural alignment, and body awareness - key components for effective and harmonious riding. Including increased strength, improved posture and balance, and enhanced body awareness. 

 

Benefits to your riding:

• Improved Communication with the Horse - A strong, balanced, and controlled body allows for clearer communication with the horse, leading to more effective riding and a stronger partnership. 

 

• Better Balance and Stability in the Saddle - Pilates improves balance and stability, helping riders maintain a stable seat.

 

• Reduced Risk of Injury - A strong core and improved posture can help reduce the risk of injury associated with riding. 

 

Guided by a physiotherapist who has worked with elite riders in high-goal polo and showjumping—and as a dedicated rider herself—you’ll benefit from expert, tailored guidance that blends clinical knowledge with a deep understanding of the demands of equestrian sport.

 

Whether you’re aiming to refine your performance or recover from injury, Pilates can help you ride with greater balance, control, and confidence.

Pilates for Runners

 

Build Strength, Stability & Efficiency on the Move

 

Runner-specific Pilates is designed to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and support recovery through targeted, physiotherapist-led sessions. 

 

These one-to-one sessions focus on improving core control, pelvic stability, hip mobility, and running biomechanics—key areas that influence stride efficiency and injury resilience.

 

Benefits of Pilates for Runners:

• Core Strength & Stability - Builds deep core muscles to support posture, reduce strain on joints, and stabilise the spine and pelvis while running.

 

• Flexibility & Mobility - Enhances range of motion and helps prevent tightness and muscle imbalances that can lead to injury.

 

• Breathing Efficiency - Focus on controlled breathing improves oxygen intake, endurance, and stamina during runs.

 

• Injury Prevention - Strengthens supportive muscles, improves alignment, and reduces risk of overuse injuries like runner’s knee or IT band syndrome.

 

• Faster Recovery - Boosts circulation, reduces muscle soreness, and aids in post-run recovery and injury management.

​

• Body Awareness & Technique - Encourages mindful movement and helps runners tune into their form, making technique adjustments that boost efficiency.

 

• Improved Posture - Strengthens postural muscles, helping maintain upright form and

           reducing back and hip strain.

​

• Muscular Endurance - Builds endurance in stabilising muscles, supporting better performance in long-distance running.

​

• Balance & Coordination - Improves control on uneven terrain and enhances agility and foot placement.

Whether you're preparing for a race, returning from injury, or looking to improve technique, Pilates can help you move better, recover faster, and run stronger.
