As a physiotherapist, Shivaun assesses your specific needs and designs a programme to help you meet your goals. She then monitors your progress and adapts the programme to make sure you are doing the most appropriate exercises as your condition improves.
Pilates helps you strengthen and balance your body through exercises that improve overall central core stability and posture. Practicing Pilates can reduce chronic pain and make you less prone to injury.
