Pilates
Pilates is a fairly new approach to exercise in comparison to yoga or tai chi. Pilates works by first of all building awareness of, then control of, muscles too often overlooked in regular training programmes. Pilates is as much of a tool for self- discovery as it is for increasing postural (core) strength. Once having established some level of core stability we start to move into mobilising the body with that new found awareness and control. If you are looking for more body awareness as well as relief from poor posture and its associated aches and pains Pilates might just be the thing for you.
Benefits
- Relieve your back pain
- Build core strength
- Develop excellent awareness of your body
- Alleviates aches and pains

Testimonial
"Mason has been helping me for four years, helping my body to stay flexible and strong, and able to cope with the strains of bushwalking. And more than cope - repair damage accumulated from decades of neglect. He integrates deep knowledge of several disciplines, pays attention to detail and is guided by sensitivity to individual needs."
