Pilates classes

Hi, my doctor wants me to do Pilates to help with recurring, severe back pain. I'm really fed up with the pain and although an osteopath gives relief, I do need to do something which will have a more long term curative effect. Has anyone else found Pilates useful and can anyone recommend a local class? I work fulltime so it needs to be an evening class.Thanks

Yes, brilliant.  It is a gentle approach to exercising and strengthening muscles.  It is important you find a class with a teacher who will make sure that you have 'found' the particular muscles that each exercise is intended for.  I sadly stopped after such a teacher moved on - so can't recommend a specific class.It is often taught by ex ballet dancers.

I go to classes run by Nicky Pallot at the Log cabin on Weds eves. She also takes classes at other venues in Ealing. I can highly recommend her as a teacher and pilates for back problems.Mobile: 07977 418 974Email: nicky.pallot@fsmail.net
