🌿 Why Outdoor Pilates ??🌞

1️⃣ Boosts Your Mood Instantly
Fresh air + natural light = increased serotonin and reduced stress. Moving your body outside just feels better.

2️⃣ Deeper Mind-Body Connection
Nature helps you slow down and tune in. Breathing exercises feel more grounding outdoors.

3️⃣ Vitamin D Glow
Sun exposure supports immune health, bone strength, and that natural post-workout glow.

4️⃣ Challenges Your Stability
Uneven ground (grass, sand, etc.) activates more stabilizing muscles—hello stronger core!

5️⃣ Reduces Stress + Anxiety
Being in green spaces lowers cortisol levels, making your practice even more restorative.

6️⃣ Feels Less Like a Workout, More Like Self-Care
Birds chirping > gym speakers. It’s movement therapy.

FIRST IN KENYA & EAST AFRICA 🇰🇪🌍

We’re bringing gold-standard performance diagnostics to East Africa for the very first time.

🔬 VO₂ Max Testing
🩸 Lactate Threshold Testing
📏 Anthropometry & Body Composition

These are the same tools used by Olympic programs, elite endurance teams, and high-performance labs worldwide — now available in Nairobi.

Why this matters 👇

• VO₂ max remains the strongest single predictor of aerobic endurance performance and cardiovascular capacity
( Bassett & Howley, Med Sci Sports Exerc, 2000 )

• Lactate testing allows precise identification of training zones, improves endurance adaptations, and optimises race performance
( Faude et al., Sports Medicine, 2009 )

• Anthropometry & body composition profiling are essential for monitoring performance, health, injury risk, and long-term athlete development
( Ackland et al., Sports Medicine, 2012 )

Together, these assessments allow us to:
✔️ Individualise training loads
✔️ Optimise endurance & speed
✔️ Track adaptations over time
✔️ Reduce injury & overtraining risk
✔️ Support elite and recreational athletes with objective data

🌍World Lymphedema Day – March 6

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that affects millions worldwide, causing swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility due to lymphatic system dysfunction. As physiotherapists, we play a crucial role in managing, preventing, and improving the quality of life for individuals living with lymphedema.

FASCIA Training with Developed by South African Physical Therapist Douglas Heel, Be Activated uses a system of reflexes throughout the body that wakes up muscles. Once muscles are awake, they can function at their maximum potential in strength, power, endurance, and flexibility. Applications for Be Activated range from improved sports performance, to great gains in training. It is also used to release tight structures throughout the body that are causing pain and dysfunction.
