SPECIALIST TUITION

LOW BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT

Aurora has recently attained her Level 4 Advanced Exercise Instructor qualification allowing her to tutor on a one-to-one basis the most vulnerable back sufferers, including GP and Physio referrals.

Low back pain can be very debilitating and make life a misery. It can affect not only your health, but your attitude and social life. Some people think that there is no cure. Well, rethink!

Aurora is committed to empowering the client to take responsibility for their own back health, learning to manage it. In particular this is achieved by learning control of the deeper abdominal muscles and following a prescribed stretching regime.

There will be an initial consultation during which an assessment will establish the nature of the pain and the suitability of the exercise programme. The programme itself is tailored to the client’s postural needs. Provided the client is not going through an acute phase of back ache, he/she will be asked to commit to further 5 sessions, at the end of which the pain will become manageable.

OLDER POPULATION

Growing old is inevitable and, if not suffering from any particular ailment, does not require treatment. However, older people have special needs, seldom taken into account by mainstream exercise classes.

Aurora has completed an additional Level 4 course dealing with this vulnerable sector and is passionate about helping her clients progress through their mature years with optimism and joy, while remaining active.

Regular physical exercise will ensure a fuller, more satisfying life. It will prevent and slow down deterioration of muscle tone and joint condition, counteracting osteoporosis and the risk of falling.

Pilates during pregnancy

Aurora has developed a gentle, but effective exercise regime for anti and post natal needs, which will enable mothers to obtain optimal physical form before and after the birth.

It is recommended that this exercise regime takes place after the 6^th week of pregnancy.
