HSD, hEDS & EDS — similar, but not the same! 💗

When it comes to Pilates, these conditions share a lot of common ground: building strength, improving joint stability, developing movement control and helping you feel more confident in your body.

But there are also important differences that can influence how we approach movement. The individual approach is what really matters.

💗 HSD – we might focus on improving joint control, strength and managing symptoms.

💗 hEDS – similar principles apply, but we may also need to consider fatigue, pain and other symptoms that affect your capacity on the day.

💗 Other EDS types – additional considerations may influence which exercises are appropriate and how they’re adapted.

And of course, symptoms overlap! Two people with the same diagnosis can have very different needs.

That’s why I don’t teach a diagnosis. I teach the person. ❤️

In my private Pilates studio, we’ll explore how your body moves, where it needs support and how to develop better control, strength and confidence in everyday movement — at a pace that works for you.

Curious whether Pilates could help you?

Come along for a free 30-minute taster chat at my studio in Callander. We can talk about your symptoms, your goals and what a personalised Pilates approach might look like for you.

Just send me a message. 💗

🍑 Are your glutes actually doing their job?

You might have strong glutes, but are they joining in when you need them?

Your glutes do far more than give you a lovely bum! 😉 They help support your pelvis, control your hips, keep you balanced and make everyday movement easier.

But here’s the interesting bit… it’s not always about strength!

Sometimes it’s about coordination, timing and how your whole body works together. And that’s where Pilates gets interesting! ❤️

At my little studio in Callander, I love playing movement detective 🕵️‍♀️ — figuring out who’s doing the work, who’s doing too much and who’s been sitting on the bench!

🍑 Curious about your own glutes?

Come along for a FREE 30-minute taster chat and let’s explore what works for YOUR body.

Bendy joints? Welcome to the club! ❤️

I’m hypermobile myself, so I know that being bendy isn’t always the superpower people think it is!

Hypermobility means your joints can move further than the usual range. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? But having all that movement doesn’t necessarily mean you have the strength, stability or control to manage it.

And here’s the funny thing — you can be bendy and still feel incredibly stiff!

Muscles can work overtime trying to keep those extra-mobile joints supported. Some areas grip, others don’t contribute quite as much, and your body finds its own little workarounds.

That’s where Pilates can be rather wonderful.

Instead of trying to make you less bendy, we work on giving your joints the support they need.

Building strength, improving body awareness, exploring different ranges of movement and learning how to control them — rather than simply hanging out at the end of your flexibility.

And because no two bendy bodies are quite the same, a tailored approach makes all the difference.

You don’t need to be less bendy. You need to be better supported. ❤️

Ever spent hours at your desk, stood up and felt like you’d been hit by a bus? 🤣

Back stiff, hips grumpy, legs reluctant to cooperate?

You’ve barely moved all day, yet somehow your body feels like it’s run a marathon!

Maybe it’s not how you sit, but how long you stay there!

Pilates helps you build strength, move more freely and make those everyday movements feel a little easier. 💗

Ever feel like your shoulders have a mind of their own? 🤔

You lift your arm, your upper traps jump in, your neck joins the party… and suddenly everyone’s involved! 😂

Sound familiar?

Sometimes it’s not about stretching more or trying harder. It’s about figuring out why your body is working that way.

That’s where a little movement detective work comes in! 🔎

Fancy finding out what Pilates could do for your shoulders?

The Reformer. Looks suspiciously like a comfy bed, doesn’t it? 🤣

A few springs, a moving carriage… and suddenly your muscles are having a full-blown industrial dispute!

The good news? We can teach them to work together without all the drama. 😂

Who knew a wooden bar could cause so much drama? 🤣

A tiny movement, a couple of springs, and suddenly muscles you didn’t even know you had are making their presence known!

That’s the funny thing about Pilates. Sometimes the smallest movements give you the biggest surprises.

Don’t be fooled by the word Chair. There’s very little sitting around involved! 🤣

Small but mighty, this little contraption has a remarkable talent for making the simplest things feel surprisingly challenging.

And the best bit? It’s not about how hard you work, but how cleverly you move.

Fancy making friends with the Chair? I promise it’s not quite as terrifying as it looks! 😂

Pilates is more than just a set of exercises! 💗

Hi, I’m Tess, a Pilates teacher who loves exploring how our bodies move and discovering how little changes in breathing, posture, mobility and control can make movement feel easier, more comfortable and more natural.

For me, Pilates is about working with your body, your goals and where you are right now — finding what works for you and helping you move with greater confidence. And no, you needn’t be bendy or super-fit to get started! 😉

📍 My wee Pilates studio is on the Main Street in Callander.
