Modified Pilates

      "I have now attended three courses, each of six weeks of Pilates with Nigel and have found the classes extremely worthwhile, enjoyable and challenging. I think I am now able to use muscles that I never knew I had. The courses have enabled me to establish greater inner core muscle strength. I had been struggling with severe back pain with a bulging disc in my lower back coupled with excruciating sciatic pain in my legs; the pilates courses were tailored to suit my disability and together with a schedule of physio sessions with Lisa I was able to achieve full mobility over the first 2 courses. I then realised that to maintain good stability and control of important movements within my everyday working environment, I needed to improve my level of pilates. I will continue to attend classes with Nigel for this very reason. All the best and thanks again to you both for my rehab." Mr M le Lay.

      "I attend two pilates classes a week, one with JSSC and one at a local leisure centre. The JSSC classes have far less participants and offer more attention to correct positioning, this is because we spend more time on each exercise giving Nigel the opportunity to ensure everyone is doing it correctly. I often find myself correcting a postion in the gym class because I have learnt the correct positioning in the JSSC class, and so now get a lot more from both classes." Mrs J Marett.


      "Having suffered from sciatica I took up Pilates to see if this would help me avoid the need for an epidural injection and worst case an operation on my lower back to cure my symptoms. After 3 months my symptoms were much relieved and now 6 months later I have returned to full sporting activity. My core strength and flexibility is much improved and even if I do suffer a relapse, which happens occasionally, I recover from it quickly. I have found Pilates to be mentally relaxing yet challenging and would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel's classes to others. It is important to remember however that Pilates is no secret overnight cure for a bad back and you really only see the true benefits over an extended period of time - but it is worth it!" Mr J Ramsden.

“Finding someone who can effectively treat my low back pain has been a huge relief. Despite seeing several physiotherapists in the past, I have really struggled and I was not getting better. Nigel has used his physiotherapy, Pilates and acupuncture skills to allow me to get on top of my back problems and continue at work. I could not recommend Nigel more highly” - ST

“I was really struggling prior to seeing Nigel. His use of acupuncture as part of my treatment enabled me to stay at work and not go off sick” - HW
