💡Nerve gliding is a regular discussion point in

💡Nerve gliding is a regular discussion point in my classes and private sessions. Some of our mobility stretches will include nerve gliding, especially the sciatic nerve.

💡Nerve gliding may help those managing peripheral neuropathy, where the nerves in the body become damaged. This could be through diabetes, undergoing chemotherapy treatment and other areas.

💡@drmalekpt Science of Stretch book is an incredible resource in this area, and wider understanding around the physiology of stretching.

💡For those of you registered for my monthly e-newsletters you'll be receiving a nerve gliding video next month. For those not registered, drop me a message if you're interested to receive.

We really are on the countdown to Christmas 🎄

We really are on the countdown to Christmas 🎄

So...I've somehow got very organised (not on the Christmas shopping front) and have planned a focus area each week taking us up to the last studio class on Saturday 21st December!

We kicked off this week with a lumbar spine focus, and finding elongation and strength into an area that can often feel locked. The weeks continue with different areas to focus on and building up the last week where we pull together all our learning, new visuals and cues, and build it into a lovely end of year strength and mobility class 💚

Some dates to note:
No class 21, 30 Nov, and 14 Dec
Last 2024 class on 21 Dec will include (free) Christmas treats and drinks after class, and everyone is welcome to come along at 10am after class. After sending my November email, most places are filled so book on asap if you want to come along to the last class.

Final point to note:
Classes are full each session, often with people on waitlist (🙏🏼) so I will be looking into booking/membership options for 2025 and what additional extras you would get if I decide a membership option is the way forward. I'll keep you posted, but equally I will still have a pay per session option to ensure ongoing flexibility.

Class planning inspo from @jpilatesuk

Following a PCL injury physio diagnosis, I started

Following a PCL injury physio diagnosis, I started working with @matteo_perkins a local young talented footballer, to progress injury rehab.

We worked on strengthening structures to support the knee... hips, glute and feet especially, reducing hamstring and calf tightness, and work to regain knee extension. The 'before' pic shows extension had been impacted...look at the large gap between the back of the knee and mat.

During our sessions there was still concern about knee pain, so I referred Teo to a specialist sports physio I work with. Following incredible manual physio treatment, this unlocked tension and movement, and highlighted focus areas I could work on with Teo, from a Pilates perspective.

Knowing when to refer Pilates clients for wider treatment is so important and this open dialogue I have with expert local Physios and Osteopaths is so valuable.

The result of this close collaboration is there to see. Teo's knee extension has not only improved HUGELY, his pain has gone and freedom of movement, and strength, has been released!

Our sessions continue from an injury prevention perspective now, and in Teo's words.....

"Under Lisa's expert guidance and connection with specialist Physios, my injury has improved to a point I feel I'm fully through rehab and consistently back to playing 90 minute games pain free, and I also have the confidence back in my body. Sessions are both focussed and fun...thank you!"

Having an inviting atmosphere in the studio is rea

Having an inviting atmosphere in the studio is really important to me 💚

So many people have recently mentioned the smell of the studio in group and private sessions...even my children walk in and comment how amazing it smells.... 'like a spa mum'!

After a crazy busy day and night last night, I cleared the studio for the start of my 1-1 sessions today, put on the aroma blend diffuser using the @jpilatesuk blends created by @thewellretreat...and calmness set in! All natural ingredients, that are hand blended.

Let me know if you want any aroma blends as I'll be placing my next order soon 💚
