James Lawrie, a 61-year-old retired surveyor from London, became ‘totally addicted’ to Pilates when bereavement left him feeling physically and emotionally exhausted. He had arthritis in his neck and was suffering from an old shoulder injury which left him in pain and with limited movement. James found the slow, controlled exercises and breathing patterns helped to alleviate his symptoms. More recently, following a nasty fall, James turned to Pilates to help with his rehabilitation. “It’s thanks to this exercise regime that I’m able to do all the things that I want and need to do. My only regret is not starting Pilates earlier in life.” Today over 12 million people enjoy the benefits of Pilates, establishing itself as the top wellness and fitness regime in the UK. As an added benefit to increasing strength and mobility, Pilates exercises can help to improve recovery rates following an injury. Find out if Pilates can help you by joining one of my classes.
