Pilates is a highly efficient method of body conditioning that focuses on posture, breath control, flexibility and toning and strengthening muscles. It’s slow, controlled movements means that it is suitable for all ages.

It is a form of body re-education which concentrates on what is known as core stabilisation. Core stabilisation focuses on the torso and builds inner muscular strength. This then gives stability to move the limbs efficiently and safely.

The Origin Of Pilates

Pilates is named after its founder, Joseph Pilates. Born in 1880, he suffered from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever, and it was through these diseases that he developed a method of overcoming them. He became particularly interested in the human frame and studied musculature alongside Eastern forms of exercise, such as yoga. As a prisoner of war in England he devised exercises to keep himself and his fellow inmates fit. On his released he developed Pilates.

The key elements of Pilates are:

  • Lengthening short muscles and strengthening weak ones
  • Improving the quality of movement
  • Focusing on core postural muscles to stabilise the body
  • Working to place the breath correctly
  • Controlling even the smallest movements
  • Understanding and improving good body mechanics
  • Mental relaxation

I brought my 5 year old to see Tara after the dentist expressed concerns about her teeth grinding. With Tara's help and guidance along with her skilled adjustments week on week, we are now at a place where our daughter is sleeping better and is much more regulated day to day than before. Tara explained each step in the treatment plan as well as what she was treating and why. She also encouraged us to go to our GP for a referral for another issue that she picked up during the course of treatment to make sure we had a full picture. Not only is Tara very skilled as a Chiropractor she is also kind and compassionate and patient - which with kids is incredibly important!

I'd been struggling with plantar fasciitis for several years and various treatments I'd tried had only helped temporarily. The condition was very painful and badly affecting both my sleep and daytime activities. I saw Ashleigh Phelps at The Lansdown Clinic, who has been amazing, knowledgeable, informative, kind and helpful. Her attention to detail is most evident. I'm so glad I made that initial appointment and have been very impressed by the professional and caring way that Ashleigh looked after me. Having completed the course of visits the pain has reduced significantly and life's much better as a result. With continued use of the exercises Ashleigh recommended I'm confident things will be good from now on. I can thoroughly recommend Ashleigh and The Lansdown Clinic. The clinic has a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone I've had contact has been very friendly and welcoming, starting with the lovely receptionists. They've got excellent premises with parking right outside too. Thanks Ashleigh, you're amazing!

Tara has managed to do what many physios osteopath and other chiropractors couldn’t - I am pretty much pain-free. I am beyond grateful for all the help Tara has given to me, she is exceptional and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Ashley & Tara have both been great from start to finish! The exercises and plans they have given me have been well thought out and the support has been great! They’ve both really helped in relieving me of the issue that had been causing me pain for over a year and I couldn’t be happier!

Really nice space, feel looked after from the moment you get into reception. Easy parking too. Hayley has been great with my treatments, listening to me and makes me feel comfortable. Seems to be helping with my rugby recovery.

I've been going for years for regular "maintenance sessions" with Tara, helps keeps me moving and flexible, working on "proaction is better than reaction"! There's also been times when my neck / back have flaired up and have managed to get an appointment really quickly and sorted me just as fast! Can't rate the team highly enough, very pleasant to deal with.

I went here with a bad back and groin, and was helped tremendously by Hayley. I’m on a path to get my hip (which was the main issue I didn’t know about) fixed thanks to the work by Hayley. Highly recommend!
