Back Care and Pilates
"Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play, and in the way you work" - Joseph Pilates
The Pilates method, dramatically changes the way your body looks, feels and performs by helping to build strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on lengthening and aligning the spine, rather than on building muscle mass.
The program focuses on the abdominal and lower back, region which is considered the body's "powerhouse" as a result Pilates is popular in the field of fitness and rehabilitation. Pilates is effective in the alleviation, treatment and prevention of back pain, most muscular-skeletal problems and injuries can be corrected with Pilates.
Furthermore, Pilates can be used to progress individuals through the movements that represent their daily activities.

What They say about me
"I have known Leandra since I had treatment from my Chiropractor for chronic back pain and acute sciatica in 2007. Following successful treatment, he suggested that it would be helpful for me to follow it up with regular rehab under the guidance of his trained therapist. I have attended weekly since then and find that I am free from pain which is wonderful.
Leandra is a joy to be with. She is totally professional with a thorough knowledge of her subject. She is hardworking, empathetic and vigilant. The hour flies by because we enjoy working out in such a pleasant environment.
I have total faith in her ability to help people to help themselves and am delighted to give this testimonial.”
Rosemary Boyle-Wood (71) Retired
"I had a pathological hate of exercise for over 35 years. Leandra has managed to make me believe in and enjoy her training sessions."
David Hurd (55) Company Director
"My GP recommended I give up golf as it was causing me so much back pain. A friend recommended I have some back care sessions with Leandra.
Best thing I have ever done! Not only am I now pain free.....I've increase my handicap!!"
