Testimonials

"I endured daily headaches for years. Visits to doctors, Migraine specialists, Dentists and Opticians found nothing and I simply took prescription drugs daily to keep pain at bay. I had accepted that headaches were a part of daily life. I first received Chiropractic care following a motor accident resulting in whiplash. Various mis-alignments were found and several adjustments needed. Discomfort got worse at first (but I had been warned about this!).

However, after a couple of weeks I was stunned to realise that not only was the whiplash better, but the headaches had gone too. There was life without pain after all. I have recommended Chiropractic care to numerous other people and without exception all have benefited."

Pilates

Sundial clinics Brighton PilatesWhat is Pilates?
The Pilates Method was invented nearly 100 years ago by Joseph Pilates. It revolves around a series of stretching and resistance exercises, combined with a focus on breathing and body awareness, that lead to improved core stability and longer, leaner muscles.

 
Through Pilates you can correct postural problems and develop a 'scaffold' that supports your spine, so that tight muscles can relax and tension is eased.
 
How can Pilates help me?
At the Sundial Clinic we’ve achieved fantastic results for people who are suffering from back pain and other injuries by using Pilates in conjunction with their chiropractic treatment. It also works well during and after pregnancy to help improve and restore muscle tone – or it can simply help you get fit.

Apart from supporting your chiropractic treatment, there are many other physical benefits to practicing Pilates:

•    Flattens, tones and strengthens your abdominal muscles
•    Gives you longer leaner muscles
•    Improves posture
•    Develops better muscular control
•    Increases circulation
•    Relieves tension
•    Improves functional fitness
•    Reduces the risk of injury
•    Heightens concentration
•    Enhances your athletic performance
 
Is it safe?
Yes, Pilates is a very safe form of exercise and our experienced practitioner, Gemma, will carefully tailor your sessions to suit your individual needs. You will be encouraged to work at your own level, either in a class or one to one, and you’ll be advised about which exercises to focus on and which to avoid.

Gemma also consults closely with your chiropractor so that the treatments work together to help guide you back to full recovery.

What our clients say
“Even after seven years, Gemma Wright's Pilates classes still require great concentration, as I’m working muscles I didn't know I had.  The lessons are well planned, using a variety of equipment, and her instruction is clear and helpful. She's the best teacher I've had. Both encouraging and demanding, she knows the level that each of us is capable of and challenges our bodies accordingly.  And her classes are great fun.  Her one-to-one sessions are equally focused, and have resolved my pelvic floor post pregnancy problems, when nothing else could.”
Hazel, 43, charity worker

"Gemma's Pilates classes are excellent.  She's professional, caring and
knows how to work with people at all levels, from the fit expert through to
the novice."
Jim, 45, consultant

“Pilates offers real benefits to real people, but as with any activity it is the
teacher who is vital, and Gemma is a delight to work with. Finding an activity that is good for me and that I enjoy, makes my classes and one-to-one sessions with her a real treat."
Amanda, 32, PR exec

“I have always had back problems, even when growing up, but in the last few
years the pain has been excruciating. I now practice Pilates every day and
the difference to my posture and the reduction of pain is profound.”
