Classes and privates lessons offered:
Classes are small, with a maximum of 5 people, to ensure attentive instruction with modifications to make an exercise easier or harder. In private lessons, we can tailor the workout more to your specific needs, whether it’s for post-rehab, prenatal, post-natal or athletic conditioning.
Golfers
For golfers, shoulder motion can be influenced by restrictions found in the mid-back muscles and joints, while restrictions in the lower back might be influenced by problems in the hip region.
For this reason, the assessment should be for the entire body and not just the area that appears to be inhibiting the swing. For a golfer, the Pilates routine should start by doing the mobility exercises followed by those for balance and, lastly, the stability workout for stance and swing.
You can increase club-head speed by developing flexibility and then by learning how to control this newly developed flexibility. Increase club power by training dynamic postural balance and by doing segmental coordination exercises for the entire body.
