**New Term Pilates Classes** very limited spaces have become available for my in- person mixed level class in Straffan Hall on Wednesdays at 1115am and online on Mondays 945am + recording. Bookings are open on my website, or you can call/ text/dm me to hold your place.

Both these classes are ideal for beginners or someone with some pilates experience. They would also suit someone recovering from injury to build up strength in a controlled and supported environment.

BONE HEALTH🦴you asked, and I've answered!… th $BONE HEALTH🦴you asked, and I've answered!... this is just a snapshot. Bone health is complex and this is just a brief summary to encourage you to think about your bone health and that of your family members. . . I've lost count of the number of post-menopausal women who have not been advised to get a Dexa scan or to have one at least every 2 years after menopause. Knowing your bone health means you can take control and increase your bone density if needed. Bone breaks can be hugely life changing, so we need to try to avoid them. . . Your GP can refer you for a Dexa scan. It takes approximately 20 mins, is like an xray but with less radiation and costs about €120 (breakthrough insurance may cover)or can be accessed for free in the public health system. . . Please get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for reading!

5 Back Pain Myths… there so many myths out there

5 Back Pain Myths... there so many myths out there about back pain, it was hard to choose only 5!
Back pain is complex, as we are complex beings. So many factors affect it that you can be sure, it won't be explained in one sentence.
There are so many misconceptions out there, these are just a selection.
Have you heard any big statements about back pain or been given any advice and wondered about its validity?
.
Would love to hear your thoughts⬇️

Not all exercise is equal! Yes, all exercise is great, but you need to get a little specific if you want to achieve your goals.
.
A recent study by Edwards et al (2022) found that isometric exercise was optimal for the management of blood pressure.
This is great news as it is such an accessible form of exercise for anyone. It has even been shown to reduce pain- so double win!

My Pilates classes always involve some isometrics as they are great way to build up endurance and tolerance of load without aggravating pain.
