Back pain that keeps returning
Massage releases; conditioning keeps. Deep-core and glute strength is the difference between relief that lasts a week and a back that stops flaring. This is the maintenance half of the equation most people skip.
Pilates & conditioning
Private Pilates and conditioning — in person or online
One-to-one coaching that builds the strength and control to stop pain coming back. At your place, or on Zoom from anywhere.
About this session
What pilates & conditioning actually does
Conditioning is the insurance policy against future pain. Rather than training isolated muscles, these sessions teach your body to work as one unit: deep core stability, postural alignment and the strength to hold what massage and stretching unlock.
I am a qualified Pilates coach with a background in gymnastics, circus and contortion coaching. Sessions are programmed for you — whether the goal is rehab, posture, returning to sport or performance.

Who this helps
Who books pilates & conditioning — and why
Desk bodies building a floor of strength
Postural endurance, hip strength and a spine that extends — the capacities desk life erodes are exactly what mat Pilates rebuilds, at home or on Zoom with zero equipment.
Hypermobile people who need control, not range
Coached by a hypermobile practitioner: stability at end range, proprioception, strength inside the range you already own. The single most useful training a bendy body can do.
In the session
Techniques I actually use
Posture and movement analysis
How you stand, sit and move — and which imbalances are quietly costing you.
Deep-core activation
The stabilisers that protect your spine, trained properly — not endless crunches.
Progressive programming
A plan that builds week on week, scaled to where you actually are.
Rehab-aware coaching
Sessions that respect injuries and work with your physio's plan, not against it.
Questions
Before you book
Do I need equipment?
No. Mat-based sessions need a mat and a little floor space. If you have bands or small weights I will use them; otherwise bodyweight is plenty.
How does online work?
A Zoom link with your booking. Set your camera so I can see your whole body side-on and we work exactly as we would in person.
