“Some patients referred to Pilates teaches never need further regular treatment, and many only begin to maintain improvement once they take up Pilates,’
Piers Chandler DO(Osteopath)

I want to thank you so much for teaching pilates to me for the past 2 years. It's the longest that I have ever been able to commit myself to something and really feel that I have found "the thing" for me. I am much fitter now than I have ever been, and that is in large part due to your professionalism, encouragement and challenges each week - thank you!

...A very small thank you present for almost 5 years of pilates which have taken me through 2 higher degress and over 80,000 miles of commuting, and numerous other life events intact and more healthy than I started - THANK YOU! Your teaching has been consistently excellent throughout and I have learned a great deal .......".

You have been a very good teacher. A good teacher to me is like a candleholder in the flame of the students imagination. Let this little token of my appreciation remind you of how inspiring you have been as my teacher. Thank you.

PREGNANCY

....I felt so much more balanced during my third pregnancy having done pilates, compared with my first two.  This also helped my confidence generally.

....Body recovery following childbirth was amazing having done Pilates before and during my third pregnancy.  I hardly feel I've had children!  Recovery both inside and out was so much quicker.

IM Winchester 2005

....Pilates really helped me to regain my abs and my lower back strength and flexibility post pregnancy.  Having done pilates before and during my pregnancy I am able to manage handling my baby so much better due to my body awareness.

DR JK Winchester 2005

...I would always advocate Pilates to my clients during pregnancy as they hold so much tension around their ribs.  HS. Osteopath Chandlers Ford
