PILATES TESTIMONIALS

“Having contracted Coronavirus myself, Pilates has kept my mind, body and soul going through a very anxious and stressful period.  I am now practising at least three times a week and three months on am feeling much healthier.”

— Debra Necrews-Davies

“Pilates is a wonderful form of exercise for any age. I started after my GP advised me that there was no cure for my back and pain management was my only option. Thanks to Pili-Pala I am now pain free without medication. The classes are well paced and differentiated to meet the needs of each individual. You are taught how to challenge your body which enables you to become stronger in a safe and enjoyable way. I always walk out feeling a bit stronger and more confident.”

— Paula Williams

“After a high speed car accident 3 years ago which left me with a fused lumber spine and partially fused ankle, I had resigned myself to a life of constant pain and restrictive movement. Pili-Pala should have been my first rehab programme! My back and body feel like my own property again. It’s given me the confidence (through being in less pain) to regain suppleness and strength, resulting in a life changing experience. I feel so much happier and positive about the future. Thank you!”

— Kate Thompson

“I originally took classes because of my back problem which didn’t improve until Mel insisted that I have an x-ray which led to a hip-resurfacing operation. Pilates helped me before, during and after the op and I now use it for maintenance (and sanity!). Mel’s professional approach is superb – she really knows her Pilates and tailors the class to fit individual needs. While enjoying our progress, we still manage to laugh at our limitations!”

— Val Samuel

“I joined Pili-Pala a few years ago after suffering a debilitating attack of inflammatory arthritis. With weekly classes I can definitely feel the benefit on a day-to-day basis. My 1-1 session with Emma, having found out that she has a medical background, combined with her Pilates knowledge, has helped me discover ways to improve that are specific to me.”
