We are a family run Sports & Remedial Massage Clinic and Pilates Studio based in Upminster, Essex. Our clients range from sports people to sedentary workers and the elderly. Each session is tailored to the needs and requirements of the individual.
Some people seek help through Sports & Remedial Massage (otherwise known as Soft Tissue Therapy) or Pilates because they are in pain, but many also come in order to be proactive about their health - whether that be to improve posture, to aid in the prevention of injuries or for a general deep relaxation massage for stress relief.

Services
Sports and Remedial Massage differs from other forms of massage as it covers the management, manipulation & rehabilitation of the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia) of the body. It uses a combination of traditional massage strokes and specialised techniques such as Soft Tissue Release, Neuromuscular and Muscle Energy Techniques to help lengthen and realign soft tissue fibers.
Devised by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's, it is a series of slow and controlled body conditioning exercises which target the deep postural muscles in order to build strength from within. It relieves stress, builds core stability and strength, improves muscle elasticity and mobilises spinal and peripheral joints.
One-to-one's are ideal for beginners in order to learn the technique thoroughly before moving on to a class. They are also ideal for those who would like to progress very quickly or those who have an injury, or who are Pregnant or Post Natal, or who would prefer a personalised programme. It is also a good option for shift workers or those who are unable to commit to the group class times each week.
During World War I whilst working as an orderly in a hospital, Joseph Pilates helped bedbound patients to rehabilitate and strengthen their muscles against resistance by attaching springs to their hospital beds. This lead to the development of the Reformer.
More recently made famous by celebrities and sports persons such as David Beckham, Kate Hudson, Andy Murray and Cameron Diaz, the Reformer is a popular choice of equipment not only for post injury/surgery rehabilitation and for pregnancy, but also for general fitness and strength.It gives all of the usual benefits of Pilates such as core and overall body strength, flexibility and balance, but brings new challenges and variation.

The Ladder Barrel has ladder rungs with a barrel surface for stretching, core strengthening and flexibility exercises. The barrel connects to the ladder by a sliding base that adjusts to accommodate different torso sizes and leg lengths. The Wunda Chair is one of the most challenging pieces of Pilates apparatus and is great for strength building as well as stability and balance.
