Tight Neck & Shoulders
Poor Posture
Chronic Tension Headaches

"True Healers don't heal you they teach you how to heal yourself"

I am paraphrasing a quote by Maryam Hasnaa because this very much tells you what I am aiming to do with this course.  

Some people "want to be fixed"... they want a pill or a quick fix that allows them to be a passive passenger in the process of their rehabilitation and healing.  My personal experience of rehabilitating from injury is that this rarely works. 

What I usually find is that if people understand how their body works they can work things out form themselves when I'm not around.  This gives people the understanding and confidence to take control of their own health. 

This course is designed to do just this and give you a toolkit of exercises and resources to support you.You will learn about common muscle imbalances, disfunction and poor posture and how they can affect you and cause chronic pain or disfunction.  The course then give you strategies to deal with each issue so you can put together a program that will exactly match your needs.

Whats the game plan?

Each week there is a workshop that take you through

  • Different aspects of the anatomy of the thoracic spine, neck and shoulders as well as an explanation of how and why things go wrong. 

  • Exercises that will help you address the issues we are discussing.

  • Printable worksheets for all the exercises covered.

  • An online video library of all exercises.

  • The knowledge to be able to understand and pull together a simple daily program that is specific to you and your requirements. 

  • I have also included a course of CBT and mindfulness to help you understand and manage chronic pain and most importantly relax and unwind.

​

This course can be self led online or you can book into the live in-person courses being held at Pointe Ahead Pilates in Edinburgh. 

 

If you do choose the in-person option you have access to the full online course with the addition of six weekly classes with Fiona.  The live classes are kept small to allow me to personalise the information to each individual on the course.

Please note these courses are designed to go through the basics everyone needs to build joint mobility and stability while addressing muscle and postural imbalances.  If you have a significant injury I would always recommend you see a Chartered Physiotherapist first or get clearance from your GP before joining any exercise program.  

If you are already under the care of a physiotherapist I am always more than happy to work with them on your mid to late stage rehabilitation to ensure that you get the most from your sessions with me.  However as a Pilates Teacher I am not qualified to treat acute injuries or diagnose any kind of condition.
