Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Building Strength and Flexibility

Muscle weakness is a common symptom of MS, but with our tailored exercise prescription, we aim to rebuild and maintain muscle strength. Our low-impact, gentle exercises are designed to target key muscle groups, enhancing strength without causing undue stress on the body. Flexibility is also a focus, with stretches and movements that help maintain joint health and reduce stiffness.

Improving Balance and Coordination

Balance and coordination challenges are frequent concerns for those with MS. NeuroPilates Method addresses these issues head-on, with exercises that enhance proprioception – the body's ability to sense its position in space. By improving balance and coordination, we help reduce the risk of falls and increase confidence in movement.

Managing Fatigue and Boosting Energy

Fatigue can be one of the most debilitating aspects of MS. Our approach is mindful of this, incorporating controlled, mindful movements that maximise exercise benefits while minimizing energy expenditure. This careful balance helps manage fatigue, and over time, can contribute to improved overall energy levels.

A Mindful Approach to Movement

Pilates is not just about physical exercise; it's also a practice of mindfulness. For individuals with MS, this aspect of Pilates can be particularly beneficial. The focus on controlled, deliberate movements encourages a deeper connection between mind and body, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
