Stiff neck? Sore back? Generally need a stretch to awaken and move a bit more?
These classes are for you!
A range of short sessions to target areas that people tend to get stiff in when sitting for prolonged periods - especially if at a computer.

We LOVE these classes!
In our PMP Pilates classes in this collection, we look at working all muscle slings, spinal stretches and neural stretches, to keep your body as happy and as healthy as it can possibly be.
No two classes are ever the same, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Stretching is often overlooked / rushed. Take the time to stretch your body - it will thank you for it. If you don't move your body through it's full range of motion, then it will stiffen to it.
Move it or lose it!

Aside from helping with strength work and toning for legs and shoulders the band is a great aid for stretches too.

As many of you know, we are somewhat gluts obsessed! They are SO important for hip and knee control as well as reducing stress on your low back.
You'd never do a PMP class without some form of glute work.
All in all, these are really great sessions to do, to keep a healthy and happy body. Enjoy.

We are often asked in clinic "What is the best way to tone my abs?".
Well here you go - here are some great options for you.
Aside from toning, abdominal strength is important for control of your pelvis and low back. Not an area to ignore.
Remember, you shouldn't feel any build up of tension in y...

We will be adding to this section to cover common complaints that we regularly see in our PMP Physio clinics.

Often with Pilates based exercises, the focus can be on the pelvis and abdomen, but control around your shoulder girdle is not only important for upper limb function, but it can really effect your neck and spinal dynamics.
