Created from years of clinical work and Pilates teaching experience by Lydia Campbell, a fitness industry expert of conditions and scar tissue, the programme has been released after thirteen years in the making.

A Trigger Point Pilates class combines Pilates’ core moves and applies clinical Myofascial principles to help alleviate chronic pain conditions. The class is designed to release tight muscles and enhance functional daily movement and restructure the body. This class attracts everyone from the elite fit to the post-rehab. Fascia restrictions occur in everyone, whatever their age, activity or level of fitness. Equipment is used to release and realign the body which you can buy from your instructor to exercise at home.

In class, there are many exercise sections where we work deeply on releasing into the deeper layers of fascia targeting the release of trigger points. Healthy fascia (connective tissue) needs to be kept hydrated with water and movement. This allows the body tissue to change and heal. The worst thing you can do is sit around in a chair all day, even if you are injured or post-operative or live with a chronic, painful condition.

High intensity interval Power Pilates is a dynamic form of Pilates that combines precision and focus of a traditional Pilates session with dynamic energy of high intensity workout. This is a cardio and strength class for those with a fair level of fitness. It is a great way to help reach your 150 mins per week cardio goal. The Pilates sections will count towards the recommended two strength sessions per week. It is a high energy class where you can expect to sweat and laugh lots.

There is quite a lot of exercises in this class as we get the heart rate up. As a result, it is not recommended for those who struggle with a lot of joint pain or pelvic floor dysfunction, although lower impact options can be given if needed. Guidance must be sought from a GP if you have any conditions where raising your heart rate would be detriment.

Pilates brings people together who are experiencing living with cancer or life beyond finished treatment. Pilates has a lot to offer you and aid your recovery.
Increase your physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Becoming more physically active is a positive change when you are living with or after cancer. Cancer and its treatment can make things feel very uncertain. Doing something for yourself like becoming more active can help you feel more in control.

Research suggests that along with having a healthy diet, being physically active can help reduce the risk of some cancer types coming back. It can also help reduce the risk of developing other health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Being active before, during and after treatment is safe. It can: • reduce tiredness (fatigue) • help look after your heart • reduce anxiety and depression • help you keep to a healthy weight • strengthen your muscles • improve bone health • improve your flexibility and ability to stretch • improve balance • increase your confidence. There is also a small amount of evidence to suggest physical activity may help improve memory.

In class we will assess and progress on mobility, stability and improve posture. Giving you more freedom and less restriction. We will also strengthen areas pelvic floor, abdominal wall the Core and shoulders. With the use of equipment we focus building muscle mass and muscle strength. Not all in one class of course!

Classes are run by a qualified Spine safe Pilates instructor.

The Spines safe Pilates exercises are those of the classical work of Joseph Pilates but may not follow his original order. I pay honour and respect to The Principles of Pilates with every person I teach. In this class I use those exercises in the Spine safe repertoire. They are appropriate for disc issues or general lower back pain. The exercises are to allow us to move freely without any symptoms.
