Pilates is also an excellent complement to other sports and activities, helping to reduce injury risk through improved alignment, stability, and muscle balance.
Sue’s sessions are fully adaptable, with thoughtful modifications to suit all bodies and abilities — making Pilates accessible and effective whether you are new to exercise, returning after injury, or looking to deepen your practice.
“My Pilates journey began when I was struggling with hip pain caused by running. My consultant advised me to find another way to build strength around my hip — and that’s when I discovered Pilates.
From my very first class, I knew I had found something special. Within a month, my hip pain had improved significantly, and within a few months, it had almost completely gone.
Pilates may not be magic — but for me, it came very close.”
