Corrective Exercise / Rehabilitation
We work closely with GP’s and physiotherapists and have qualified exercise referral consultants who can give you the correct exercise prescription for your condition, from musclo-skeletal disorders, ankylosing sponylitis, back conditions, obesity, anxiety, depression, pre-post natal and many other related conditions.
In the one to one sessions we offer, exercise correction and rehabilitation. You might be recovering from an operation? Or maybe you need to strengthen the muscles in
your back and shoulders or around the knee joint after physiotherapy?
Depending on your needs and requirements, we can assess your posture, range of movement, strength and flexibility. Then provide an individual specialised corrective exercise training programme, working on your muscle imbalances, and improving your body alignment and range of movement. This training is very beneficial if you have muscle, joint back strains, or conditions related to poor posture, and gait.
Pilates therapy for Anklosing Spondylitis
“Having suffered from Ankylosing Spondylitis for thirty years, I was advised by two physiotherapists to try Pilates exercises.
Caroline devised a series of weekly exercises to specifically target my problem areas, as well as build up general ‘core’ strength. During the three-year period progress had been monitored by my rheumatology specialist who measures flexibility of my joints and spine. Over the period there has been a steady increase in the scope of my movement, to the point where it is not far short of what is considered normal.
Combined with the latest pain control drugs, I am sure that Pilates exercise has improved my quality of life, with the secondary benefit of a noticeable improvement in my upper-body definition.” PB.

Pre-post Natal Exercise
Pregnancy can be a very exciting time and also challenging. Athlete’s train before a competition to be fit and in excellent condition and isn’t being in labour one of the most stressful and challenging times for the body to go through?
That is why preparation for labour is essential, as the muscles and postural alignment shift during pregnancy to support the baby and extra weight. Therefore the mind and body needs to be ready for the birth itself. We can design a gentle exercise program for you to strengthen the correct muscles during pregnancy post-natal, to support the shift in weight, and assist you safely in maintaining your fitness. Also, after the baby, we can help you to become mentally and physically fit - to cope with the demands of motherhood. We will help motivate you to get back into shape so you can start and feel healthy, strong and fit to cope with those extra life pressures. Why not give us a call to book your session in this life-changing time. |
Reiki Therapy
Reiki, a Japanese word pronounced ray-key, can be translated to mean universal life
force, or universally guided energy, and ki meaning the energy of life. It is a very simple system of healing, carried out by placing hands on or over a person (who is always clothed) with the intent to channel Reiki. Reiki heals on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The characteristic heat of Reiki can often be physically felt as far as five inches away. Reiki is a non-confrontational form of healing, soothing away many different troubles and traumas in a very gentle way. It is also non denominational, which means it is practiced by people of different religions, and cultures. You don’t need to commit to a belief system in order to channel Reiki, or enjoy its benefits; all you need is the desire to be healed. |

The Science behind Reiki
Independent research by Dr. Robert Becker and Dr John Zimmerman during the 1980’s investigated what happens whilst people practised therapies like Reiki. They found that not only do the brain wave patterns of practitioner and receiver become synchronised in the alpha state, but also they pulse in unison with the earth’s magnetic field, known as the Schuman Resonance. During these moments, the biomagnetic field of the practitioners’ hands is at least 1000 times greater than normal, and not as a result of internal body current. Toni Bunnell (1997) suggests that the linking of energy fields between practitioner and earth allows the practitioner to draw on the “Infinite Energy Source” or “Universal Energy Field”. All of this supports the “oneness” and “expanded consciousness” related by those who regularly receive Reiki.
We have a Reiki Master, who uses the universal energy as explained above to treat and heal people of all beliefs and faith. Reiki is effective on all mental, physical and emotional levels. So if you are suffering from, emotional trauma, anxiety, stress, back, shoulder pain, depression, feeling run down or any other ailment or condition.
