Our Services
At Park View Pilates, we offer a range of services that are designed to help you achieve your fitness goals. Here is an overview of the services we provide:
Pilates
Pilates is a slow, controlled form of exercise centred around the core. Our classes combine strengthening work along with exercises to improve mobility and flexibility. It's recommended by GPs, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and osteopaths and is one of the best forms of exercise for those with back-related issues. Pilates helps to:
- Reduce back pain and sciatica
- Strengthen back muscles
- Rehabilitate injuries
- Improve posture
- Increase mobility and flexibility
- Strengthen core muscles
- Strengthen the pelvic floor (so very good for post-natal women and those suffering from stress incontinence)
- Improve body awareness
- Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
Personal Training
Our personal training services are tailored to meet your individual needs. We offer 1-2-1 sessions with our fully qualified and insured Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer, Lorraine Thurlow. Our personal training sessions are designed to help you achieve your fitness goals, whether that's to improve your strength, mobility, or overall health and wellbeing.
Bad Backs
At Park View Pilates, we specialise in helping people with back pain. Our founder, Lorraine Thurlow, suffered from years of back and neck pain after a car accident at the age of 20. Wanting to help people manage their back pain is the main reason why she decided to retrain for a career in the fitness industry. We offer Pilates classes and 1-2-1 sessions that are specifically designed to help people with bad backs.
