The Great North Run
Suzanne is taking part in this year’s Great North Run on Sunday 19th September 2010. For those of you who know Suzanne you will be aware that she is ‘no runner’ and has found the training hard. She has been raising money for the Rossendale Hospice and has reached her target with the very kind donations from patients, family and friends.
We would like to wish her all the very best.

Ante-Natal & Post-Natal Pilates Classes
Pilates exercises can be easily modified and adapted to suit pregnant or post-natal ladies. The exercise classes provide many benefits.
In the ante-natal period there is pre-conditioning of the pelvic floor muscles and improved endurance for labour with improved circulation and maintenance of flexibility. Ladies must be at least 13 weeks into their pregnancy and must have no complications which would contradict this type of exercise. The GP must be in agreement with commencing these classes.
In the post-natal period, rehabilitation of the pelvic floor and bone density is maintained and a sense of well-being is enhanced. Relaxation techniques are also included. Exercise can commence as soon as it is medically safe.
For all classes an initial one-to-one session is essential and this is followed by a beginners course. Class numbers are small, ensuring close supervision.
Please contact me at the clinic for further details and advice.
