Improve your posture, tone and flexibility with Pilates
Why do Pilates?
How do I improve my posture?
Pilates helps us to achieve and maintain good alignment through our bodies by improving the flexibility and tone we need to stand, sit and move well. Good posture and movement is key to ​a healthy back and pain-free body.
How do I improve my flexibility and joint mobility?
A flexible body is one that can move well. As we age we naturally start to lose joint mobility and muscle tone which in turn can lead to poor balance. Pilates is a fantastic way to stop this from happening, or at least slow ​the process down!
Can I help my rehab and prehab?
Pilates is a tool which can be adapted for everyone from someone recovering from surgery, illness or a bad back (rehab) to an athlete wanting to be strong and supple enough to deal with the demands of their sport without getting injured (prehab) – and everyone else ​in-between!
If, at the age of 30, you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If, at 60, you are supple and strong, then you are young!"

What is it for?
Poor posture can lead to pain and injuries when our joints are put under stress such as when sitting for hours hunched over a laptop or standing with the hips or head too far forward. The Pilates exercises stretch muscles and mobilise joints, improve muscle strength and core stability and so allow us to achieve good alignment and posture naturally.
Pilates teaches us body awareness so we are able to correct poor postures and then gives us the natural strength to maintain better positions and movement patterns.
Why choose Pilates Therapy?
At Pilates Therapy all our instructors have undergone rigorous and extensive training with well-known and respected Pilates schools so you can be sure they are both knowledgeable and safe in their methods. All are Pilates specialists with individual areas of expertise and experience.
We keep our classes small (between 6 and 12 people in a class) so that we can pay attention to each client and correct and advise individually. Classes are held in and around Worcester and Malvern, in locations such as Rushwick, Hanley Swan, Powick and Kempsey, on Monday to Friday, in the day and in the evenings, so there is plenty of choice and you should find a class to suit you. Many of our instructors also offer one-to-one sessions as well.

"I have been part of Julie's Pilates weekly class for many years. These classes have enabled me to keep flexibility and strength in my core muscles, to give me more confidence in my bodily posture,
and, after 2 back operations, to enable me, through the rehabilitation class, to find mobility and 'hope' when, at one time, I felt beyond it."
