This time of year we get lots of calls from people who have aches and pains as they have been getting the garden ready for summer...
So this week we will be giving tips to enjoy gardening whilst limiting those aches and pains.
Number 3 do it in chunks - If you haven't done regular gardening for a while - Do not garden for longer than 20-30 minutes at a time. If you are bent over remember to regularly stand up and perform stretches for your back.
Build up and do tasks spread over a period of time. Remember it doesn't all have to be done in 1 day.

Julie came to Pilates and said “I was concerned that it would be complicated and not suitable for my poor coordination. I thoroughly enjoyed the session.

They were so patient and this made me feel relaxed and comfortable..”

Anne came to Pilates and said “I was worried that the exercises might be too difficult and I wouldn't be able to keep up. But with clear explanations and demonstrations, they were very achievable. Most importantly everyone is encouraged to work at their own level, in a way which suits their body and their particular needs. I have joint problems but Gemma helps me to do the exercises in a safe way, and I am already feeling the benefits. A gym would feel very alien to me but the atmosphere in the Pilates class is friendly and welcoming.”

This time of year we get lots of calls from people who have aches and pains as they have been getting the garden ready for summer...
The sudden activity of digging, raking or sweeping after a reasonably prolonged period without exercise can trigger acute back pain. Usually, these activities involve us adopting poor posture for relatively extended periods of time, with repetitive twisting, lifting and digging that causes pain.
So this week we will give tips to enjoy gardening whilst limiting those aches and pains.
Number 1: Warm up and stretch – Gardening is like any other exercise; you need to warm up first. Take 10–15 minutes to briskly walk around the garden and warm up your muscles. Stretch before and after, targeting your back and core, shoulders and arms and leg muscles.

Mel joined us and said “I was concerned the moves would be too complicated and exacerbate the injuries I had sought help for in the first place. The very individual treatment through small groups meant instructions very specific to my capabilities which addressed all my concerns from the outset. The only other class I had done was too large to provide the individual instruction. Now I feel I have improved my flexibility, greater stability, and the desire to keep going to achieve more.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about getting moving.
Number 10 is protect and guard.
Following on from yesterday's neutral pelvis when people are in pain they start to protect their injury or guard it to stop it being painful. As pain decreases it is important to start moving your body with confidence but within a pain-free range.
The more you do this the more the brain recognises there isn't a threat so you can move more freely.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about getting moving.
As people struggle with back pain they often change their posture and how they hold their body. From a pilates perspective, we often talk about a neutral pelvis. This is where we aren't tilting the pelvis too far forward or backwards.
As pain decreases and you can move more it is important to start re-finding the neutral pelvis for a healthy spine and good movement.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about getting moving.
When people are in pain they often stop moving as much as they used to. It is quite important to start doing gentle movements that don't aggravate your pain and start to ease it.
Gently increase how much you can do so that you can progress back to the things you used to do.
People often say to me they are:
- feeling stiff and not very supple…
- having niggles in their joints and back…
- wanting to strengthen their core & improve posture…
- nervous about starting something in case they'll be left behind or not sure what to do…
