What makes Trevor Blount Pilates so important for posture is that it trains the deep structural muscles that support our skeletal system.
This makes movement much more efficient and reduces overloading on our feet, knees, hips, spines, shoulders and necks, and reduces headaches. You will look and feel much better and will have less pain that is associated with dysfunctional posture.
One of the best things about Trevor Blount Pilates as an exercise system is that it can be adapted to suit every need.
For our rehabilitation programme we have created a range of exercises that are specifically designed for clients who initially need a softer and more gentle approach. The exercises are simple, small and gentle. As you learn to master them, they increase slowly and carefully to challenge your body gently, to build your strength, flexibility, stability and mobility from the inside out, and to return you to health.
This is why medical practitioners recommend Trevor Blount Pilates to their patients to help relieve pain caused by postural weakness, arthritis, osteoporosis, and many other conditions. Medical practitioners also recognise us as specialists in rehabilitation for people who have had, or are trying to avoid, surgery and for the speedy recovery from many different types of injuries.
As a sportsman I know how sport-specific training can develop muscular imbalance, overwork certain muscle groups, distorting the entire body and decreasing the ability to produce good technique.
Trevor Blount Pilates fuses mind and body and harmonises them as one. This ensures deep overall conditioning, lengthens, strengthens and aligns the body, and brings balance and symmetry to prepare it for every sport.
In addition, it improves concentration, control, precision, co-ordination, balance, endurance, breath control and efficient movement patterns. It also helps to reduce sports injuries.
The teachers at our studio are dedicated to their careers as Pilates teachers; we work together as a team, pool our ideas, share our new creations with each other and with you. Our staff have been comprehensively trained for two years and qualified through an extensive examination process; each teacher is an individual with many years’ experience. This ensures that all our teachers have extensive knowledge and great skill in teaching Trevor Blount Pilates to you.
Because we want to help our clients achieve an advanced awareness in practising Pilates, we work with each person individually. We give you the time and space to learn about your body without the distraction of “over-teaching”. We firmly believe that we are providing you with the best environment in which to learn and to be taught Pilates.
When you come for your first session we will ask you to complete a health questionnaire, we will discuss it with you and answer any questions you may have. If you have any doctors’ letters, reports on MRI scans and x-rays please bring them with you. We are always happy to collaborate with other health professionals.
We advise new clients to work with the same teacher if possible, this helps us to develop your session and helps you to learn the fundamental principles that underpin all Pilates exercises, and to progress to more challenging Pilates. For the best results, Trevor Blount Pilates needs to be practised regularly so we recommend weekly sessions – two sessions a week is ideal.
The best way to achieve a routine is to book appointments at the same time each week, enabling us to schedule them automatically on a permanent basis for you.
