Motor Neuron Disease (MND)

Gentle, Low-Impact Exercises

Recognising the nature of MND, we focus on gentle, low-impact Pilates exercises. These movements are designed to be safe and achievable, minimising strain while maximizing benefits. By engaging in these exercises, individuals with MND can work towards maintaining their current level of mobility and flexibility for as long as possible.

Strengthening Muscles

Muscle weakness is a common symptom of MND. Our tailored Pilates program targets various muscle groups to help maintain muscle strength and function. Regular practice can aid in slowing down muscle deterioration, providing a sense of empowerment and independence.

Managing Symptoms

Symptoms like muscle cramps and rigidity can be particularly challenging for those with MND. Our Pilates method includes specific exercises and stretches that help alleviate these discomforts. By improving circulation and promoting relaxation, we aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of cramps and rigidity.

A Supportive Environment

At NeuroPilates Method, we provide a nurturing and understanding environment. Our Exercise Physiologists are not only experts in Pilates but are also compassionate and knowledgeable about the unique needs of individuals with MND. We ensure that each session is tailored to your abilities and comfort level.

Enhancing Overall Well-being

Beyond physical benefits, our Pilates program offers mental and emotional support. The practice encourages mindfulness and a connection between mind and body, which can be incredibly beneficial in coping with the challenges of MND.
