Testimonials (Pilates)

[My physio] was the one who recommended i do pilates; she was very keen, and gave me your flier (...) and I continued coming [to your classes] (...).
Pilates saved my back as well as my sanity. Having Sciatica wasn't funny and I was in terrible pain. Using pilates significantly repaired my strength and indeed I'd say that it made me even stronger. I swear by it, and wish that you were here in sheffield, because the teachers aren't half as good.
When I first began pilates I had numbness in my lower left
leg and foot.
My flexibility was very limited and I certainly could not do the 'rolling like a ball'.
Within a matter of weeks, through walking and doing my pilates breathing and posture,
the numbness had cleared and my flexibility dramatically improved.
Prior to the sciatica, I was an avid cyclist but could not ride my cycle as the position was too painful. Last summer, I completed a 210 cycle ride through Wales, which I'm certain I could not have done without Pilates. I would recommend it to anyone... need i go on?!!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I have moved away from Leicester now so wont be coming to the Thursday night classes anymore. I was hoping to come to a last session to let you know myself, but unfortunately couldnt make it. Many thanks for your excellent teaching - I have really enjoyed your classes, and if I move back to Leicester again I'll definitely look you up!
Thanks again.

After having back surgery for a herniated disc and a few years of on and off physiotherapy I was suffering from constant back pain every day. This affected my confidence to exercise and perform tasks and activities.
Contacting Emanuela at Pilates Fitness was the best choice I have every made. I was given a personalised programme of exercises and stretches on a one to one basis.
After approximately a year and a half my posture has improved, I have a much stronger core area which supports my back and I am more flexible. I was also given a series of emergency exercises/stretches for back pain, which I have never needed to use.
I am now pain free and am able to do everything I could before the surgery. In fact I am now fitter than I was before the surgery.
I have also received information and advice about diet and nutrition and stress management including massage and Indian head massage.
I am able to do the exercises and stretches at home by myself and my confidence has returned.

After 1/2 hr massage on my calf muscles, Emanuela relieved the pain and stiffness in my Achilles.
The following morning was the first time in months I had been able to walk down the stairs forwards!!!
