We offer specialist Back Care Pilates courses which are aimed at people who want to use Pilates based movement therapy to help with back issues.
If you have had treatment with a Manual Therapist (Physio, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Masseuse) then you might like to consider these sessions as a follow on.
The sessions may be beneficial if you
- have some back pain
- are stiff and achy in your back
- have a situation where your back “goes” periodically
- have postural issues that are causing back pain
- are recovering from an injury
- are in a rehab phase, following back surgery
- have done mainstream Pilates classes and found them to be too intense for your back
Back Care Pilates sessions are for just 2 people only. You will have time to get the hang of what you’re doing, have the opportunity to ask questions and be observed carefully.
The sessions are structured, steadily paced and carefully planned giving you the reassurance that you are working safely and effectively. We have the time to explore different ways for you to get stronger and feel better and have some control of your circumstances.
Have you been wondering about doing something to help your back? Give this a go – it can be super helpful.
We can discuss the Back Care course and your particular needs with your Therapist if you give us permission.
Planning Your Back Care Course
The back care courses are held at the LS8 Studio.
If you have done these sessions in the past, or visited this page before you will know that the sessions used to be for 3 people, but, from now on I decided that it is more appropriate to reduce the class sizes to 2 people. The smaller size is the reason for the increased cost per person.
The days and times will be:
Tuesday evening at 7.00 pm. Next Start Date: 30th May with Alison
Tuesday evening at 5.55 pm. Next Start Date: 16th May with Alison
Friday morning at 9.30 am. Next Start Date: 14th April with Charlotte
The Back Care Course runs either as a set of 6 sessions and costs £108
(Occasionally we run a set of 3 sessions and this costs £54)
If you cannot attend, the class will still go ahead. However, if you miss a session you can have a catch up class for free in any of the community classes, once you feel ready.
Please contact Alison by phone or email to confirm your place before paying

IMPORTANT: If this is the first time you have done Pilates with us, please can you fill out a very short Health Questionnaire before you attend class. (It only takes 2 mins). It is necessary for your safety, our planning and for our Insurance purposes.
