If you're new to Pilates or joining an existing class (not Beginners only), I recommend an initial one-to-one assessment.
This allows us to evaluate your posture, individual needs, and medical history, while teaching you the Pilates principles and how to apply them to your body. The assessment ensures you join the most suitable class at the right level. This is essential for anyone referred by a medical professional or wishing to join Back4Good classes.
Pilates for Bone Health
Specialised Pilates classes designed to improve bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Safe, effective exercises specifically chosen for those managing osteopenia or osteoporosis.
What is Pilates for Bone Health?
Weight-bearing and resistance exercises proven to stimulate bone growth and improve skeletal strength. Our classes focus on posture, balance, and controlled movements that safely load your bones while building the muscle strength needed to protect them.
You can learn more about bone health from the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
Who is it for?
Anyone diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, post-menopausal women concerned about bone health, or those with a family history of bone density issues. Suitable for all fitness levels with modifications available.
