Scar Massage

Scar massage can be used to improve the healing of your scars after surgery or injury. Different techniques are used to 

• Soften and flatten the scar

• Increase flexibility and elasticity which can help restore range of movement problems

• Reduce sensitivity issues, like, pain, itching or numbness

• Improve the appearance

You will need to wait a few weeks to make sure the wound has healed. A scar specialist will know which techniques are best for you and use the appropriate pressure for your specific scar.

Pelvic Floor Health

The pelvic floor muscles often described as a sling at the base of the pelvis play a key role in controlling bowel, bladder and sexual function.  In women they also need to support the pelvic organs.

Both men and women have these muscles.

Leaking wee or not be able to control when you need to pooh is an indication something might be wrong.

A pelvic floor exercise programme can improve incontinence issues, support recovery after childbirth, pelvic surgery or prostate problems.

Balancing the Diaphragms

Martine, Client

Pilates has strengthened my body in an even way from top to toes! It has greatly improved my general fitness, balance and wellbeing, particularly my core, lower back, hips and buttocks. Each exercise is explained and your movement is checked. Zoom classes have been a real boost to everyone. You can do one class or as many as fit your day.

“My back is 20 years younger”

Jackie, Client

Just a brilliant way to stay fit, strong and healthy. Fiona is a great teacher even with the constraints that covid has put on us all. With the health issues I have had this year I can honestly say without Fiona I would not be walking today. I have a strong body due to my pilates training and of course, sheer bloody mindedness. Thanks Fi. You are my hero.
