South West Pilates is a fitness based pilates currently based in Terang and Camperdown. Pilates is a low impact exercise that helps increase your core strength, assists correcting muscle imbalances, promotes good posture, fosters relaxation and provides an all over body workout. Pilates is a great complimentary exercise to other sports such as netball, football, swimming, running, cycling and golf. Your instructor:
I (Rachael) am a pilates instructor from the UK who has been teaching for a year in South West Victoria. I started practising pilates (clinical based) 6 years ago, after I sustained a chronic back injury. Today I still manage my back injury through a number of ways including pilates and believe I'm a testament to how fantastic pilates is. Through my rehabilitation I realised the benefits and importance of pilates to providing core strength. To date I've avoided back surgery for 5 years and I believe it is through the use of pilates (in combination with fantastic physios, chiros, myotherapists and massage therapists to name but a few). However I try not be complacent about my back injury and now cherish every day I live without back and sciatic pain. Please note South West Pilates is not a clinical or rehabilitation based pilates. Should you have any injuries, illnesses or issues please consult with your physician or other professional to ensure you are in sufficient health to be participating in one of South West Pilates classes.
