As part of the Back4Good Programme, I run Healthy Backs classes which are aimed at back pain prevention. They are small group classes, which give a gentle, balanced workout, focussing on strengthening your core, improving the quality of your movements and keeping your spine flexible and strong. I make the classes as enjoyable as exercise can be (!), you may well find that in time you even look forward to it....
I have completed specialist training with the Body Control Pilates Association, to enable me to work with people who have Low Back Pain, this training (REPS level 4 Specialist Exercise Instructor in Low Back Pain) is the highest level of pilates training currently available in the UK.
All of the classes that I run, work the whole body and include many exercises to stabilise and strengthen the spine. If, however, you have had a lifetime of low back pain, regularly wake up with an aching back, or have been diagnosed with a back condition for example stenosis, sciatica or disc problems, then a Healthy Backs class will help you to reclaim your spine.
Quite often the simplest exercises are the most effective, you really don’t need to strain your muscles until veins appear to get results….
All of my daytime classes are Healthy Backs classes, ranging from beginners through to intermediate, one of my classes (Forest Row 2pm) is particularly suitable for people recovering from surgery.
In all of my classes, I give options for many of the exercises so that you can make them easier or more difficult depending on the state of your spine on a particular day.
As with all of my classes, any other medical conditions or injuries can be accommodated within the class, HOWEVER, if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, you should attend one of the classes listed on the Osteoporosis page.
If you would like to discuss which class would most suit your needs, please email lisa@healthyworld.uk.com or telephone me 07512 932415.
