Suitable for anyone with back pain or discomfort

as well as movement teachers.

Knowledge is power! Fear comes from lack of knowledge.

This workshop is designed to teach you key information about your spine.  Develop a sense of how and why it moves (or doesn’t), to bring you some much needed confidence and to get you moving freely again!

• Learn why your health practitioner can’t tell you exactly what’s happened to your spine and why it doesn’t matter

• Custom made exercises that enable you to strengthen your spine and increase flexibility in the right places in your body between sessions. This will result in balance throughout your whole body, and lead to a reduction or removal of pain and discomfort in the spine and hips

• Discuss the spine and how Pilates can help reduce and often dissolve back pain

• Learn how to assess your own movement patterns and posture   

• Learn to move more confidently and freely in just one workshop!   

• Learn about the Neuro-muscular connection and why fear avoidance causes the real discomfort in your back, and how to overcome this

• We will end with a short relaxation class and discover your ‘emergency/first aid’ poses that you can use at home if you have any periods of discomfort

CANCELLATION POLICY

Due to the popularity of this course and the limited number of spaces, there is a two week cancellation policy for these workshops.

Workshop 1. Foundation

Knowledge is power! Fear comes from lack of knowledge.

This workshop is designed to teach you key information about your spine.  Develop a sense of how and why it moves (or doesn’t), to bring you some much needed confidence and to get you moving freely again!

Workshop 2. Hips and Low Back

The hips and pelvis thrust us forwards and absorb all of the shock from hitting the ground when we walk. That’s why it’s really important to take a look at how the hips and pelvis are sitting. We’ll analyse whether they are causing the back to over compensate, not just through walking, but in all functional movement too.

Workshop 3. Shoulders, Upper and Mid Back

The shoulders ‘float’ on the ribcage. Any restriction in the shoulders can cause a restriction in thoracic spinal movement (upper and mid back). Equally, restriction in the shoulders could be coming from a restriction in the spine.

This workshop is designed to address both the shoulders and back, and get you moving freely again!
