The benefits of Pilates with Tracy Dixon
I have been teaching Pilates & Yoga for 24 years, during that time I have amassed over 5,000 client facing sessions & taught over 20,000 individuals. I have a huge wealth of experience to draw upon & I have continued to learn since my original qualification back in 1999 at the Pilates Institute London, increasing my knowledge & expertise as human science, psychology & understanding has moved on. I have recently undertaken specialist qualifications in Pilates for hips & shoulders. I want to help people at greater depth who are suffering with discomfort & pain by providing solutions for the most common hip & shoulder conditions. My passion is to experience how I can use all the techniques I have learnt to help you get what you want. To improve the issues you would like to change, in a way that is not a temporary fix but a life-long solution.
Are you suffering from one of the top three most common issues I see regularly?
Work or lifestyle related issues:
-
Tension in shoulders, neck & back from work positions, use of equipment, prolonged periods of time doing the same thing.
-
Muscular Imbalances causing niggles, aches & pains.
-
Lower back & possible upper back problems from sitting, driving & lifting.
-
Weak muscles that are not doing the job they are supposed to.
Activity or sport related issues:
-
Excessive use of one muscle group causing weaknesses & over developments.
-
Stiff & tight muscles that have adapted over the years & little injuries keep you from doing what you want to do in general.
-
Weak core & back muscles & tight hips causing a whole host of physical restrictions leading to time off from doing what you love!
Pre & post baby related issues:
-
Back, hip and pelvic problems caused by the huge strain on the body from carrying baby.
-
Weak core and abdominal muscles post baby.
-
Excess weight gain due to pregnancy & the difficulty in losing it because of the demands of having a new baby or toddler.
-
Carrying & lifting baby causing extra strain.
