The Benefits of Pilates

Pilates Therapy classes have been set up to meet the demand for a person-centered approach to fitness, health, good posture and recovery from injury.
As a Chartered physiothe

rapist, Di has often seen patients with bad backs or neck or with muscle weakness leading to symptoms, who wish to improve their fitness and get toned.
But they often attended large classes and have either been put off by the loud music or found their symptoms aggravated by exercises that were too hard or performed without appropriate supervision and correction relevant to their problem. So Pilates Therapy classes evolved, initially with patients having finished their physiotherapy treatments and still requiring some supervision, but now offering the pilates mind-body conditioning exercise programme with all its benefits to everyone.

Some of the main benefits are:-
Reactivates core stability muscles.
Improves and corrects posture.
Improves flexibility.
Increases strength.
Reduces stress.
Assists in reducing joint pain.
Improves muscle tone.
Helps focus the mind.
Promotes confidence.
Increases body awareness.

Day and evening classes are held throughout the week in our spacious, well equipped hall. There are a range of beginners, intermediate and advanced classes to suit all abilities. For further details please browse through the rest of this site.

Classes are held at Blackwell's Cafe, Chipperfield Common. (WD4 9BS)

What Pilates Offers

The benefit of pilates classes with KLPC goes beyond just a core body workout. It helps you develop an awareness of body movement and posture, which is so important when managing chronic aches and pains e.g. back, neck or joint symptoms or general weakness in the abdominal or pelvic muscles following surgery or pregnancy / childbirth.

It tries to reduce the stresses placed on our spines, joints and muscles, thus helping to live with existing symptoms, to reduce the risk of recurring symptoms or causing further injury due to muscle weaknesses or imbalance.
Pilates is also recognised as a foundational exercise for any high level sporting activity. From professional show jumpers to rugby players and cricketers to ballet dancers, Pilates is widely acknowledged to be essential for maintaining functional strength in top level competition.
