“It’s a great shame we didn’t know about the significance of Pilates and core training when we were younger! I was training full time for ten years and the damage we did to ourselves beggars belief! All those sit ups to bleep tests and weight training on external muscle before core! The result for me was daily intermittent back pain at a severe level...

During my second pregnancy I started to develop pain in the front of my pelvis and at the recommendation of my GP I was told that Ante-Natal Pilates could help, by improving my back and pelvic posture and strength. I chose to attend classes at Pilates Physiotherapy Cork mainly because their classes are run by a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in Women’s Health and in their clinic, they have all the equipment needed for the Ante-Natal classes, I didn’t have to bring any thing with me.

Having been born in a breech position, I have had problems with my hips all of my life and consequently, have suffered with pain from a “snapping tendon” in the hip. In addition to this, my six foot slender frame, lifelong lack of interest in sports/exercise, and sedentary lifestyle have given rise to occasional bouts of severe lower back pain and occasional sciatica. After a particularly bad bout of lower back pain, I joined a Pilates class at the Cork branch of Pilates Physiotherapy Ireland, and under Jo Chapple’s expert tuition as a Chartered Physiotherapist, I have experienced a remarkable improvement.
