We believe that the secret to success is understanding how to maintain the changes and improvements that each treatment will offer. Stretching, conditioning, strengthening and relaxing are all essential elements in recovery from injury, or altering bad postural habits. If you have long standing problems then you need to understand what changes to make at home, and exercises you need to be doing to cement the changes we can work during your treatments.

Debbie has now completed levels 1, 2 and 3 of APPI mat-based Pilates and likes to encourage all her patients to incorporate some aspect of Pilates based exercises into their recovery programme. Debbie has been practicing pilates for several years as well and also utilises both mat and some small equipment exercises into her treatments when needed.

The APPI system of Pilates was developed for manual therapists to use in a clinical setting for post injury recovery. It breaks all the traditional Pilates movements into different "levels" of difficulty so that even very basic exercises can be given to start the rehabilitation process. As you become stronger, more flexible and in less discomfort, the level of difficulty can be increased in relation to what you yourself can work with.
