Lucy has a keen interest in Clinical Pilates, using it as a low impact form of exercise, focused on managing postural problems and improving spinal stability through muscular support. Pilates can be used to treat a wide range of conditions including neck and low back pain, and rehabilitation of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries such as ankle sprains and knee pain. Pilates is also a beneficial form of exercise during and post pregnancy due to its low impact nature and individual tailored exercise prescription.

Reviews

“Very happy with the treatment I received after I tried a few other physios with poor results. They explained what they were doing and why which gave me confidence in the process. 2 weeks into treatment and my knee is the best it has been for years. Thanks”
