“I have a chronic lower back problem which I manage through daily exercises at home and weekly sessions with Jo. The weekly sessions are key because they help me keep the daily exercises on track and provide additional challenge when I need it. Being one to one, the sessions are intense but fully focused on my needs. The resulting improvement in my mobility and general quality of life has been fantastic — so I heartily recommend the Human Movement Clinic!”

Jo will go over your history of injury, if applicable, and any other concerns or questions you may have. Then a short postural analysis will be conducted before taking you through a tailored Pilates workout designed just for you.
What should I wear and bring with me?
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in, ideally without zips and buckles as they can dig into you and may damage the equipment.
Please wear socks so that feet can be placed on the equipment.
Bring your own towel - you may work up a sweat!
A water bottle - refill it at the studio.
