Denham Pilates

Denham Pilates I am a fully qualified Pilates Instructor with over 20 years experience

I found Pilates after a back injury – the practice got me out of pain and strong again so decided to explore it further with teacher training - I qualified in Pilates Matwork with Body Control (www.bodycontrolpilates.com) in 2003. I went on to graduate from The Comprehensive CPM (Contrology Pilates Method) Apprenticeship – covering classical Pilates and the full studio apparatus programme (Reforme

r, Cadillac, Wunda Chair etc.) – training that incorporates newly emerging knowledge of our fascial anatomy. (www.centreforspatialmedicine.com)

I continue to deepen my knowledge and training that incorporates restorative Pilates – my interest now is in restoring and rehabilitation, using Pilates not as a ‘workout’ but as a reset for the body and mind - identifying unhelpful movement patterns and forming better ones; using simple breathing techniques and increasing postural awareness – even small changes can create powerful shifts within the body and mind.

Look at the benefits of walking backwards!

Don’t be put off by winter weather – going out into the mud and cold is highly beneficial to our immunity and general health

Consider these in your routine...

Did you know that you have over 35 muscles that attach onto your pelvis?!?

Many of these muscles are not part of the pelvic floor & actually come from the spine, hips, abdomen, and legs.

So it’s no surprise to learn that a lot of external muscles will influence your internal pelvic floor muscles. Strengthening these external muscle groups will help your pelvic floor avoid compensating for the weak adjacent muscles.

An example of this we see in the clinic is when the transversus abdominus, gluteals, or multifidus muscles fall down on their job, the pelvic floor muscles love to take over and often become hypertonic.

All this to say… building strength in your pelvic floor is more than just doing kegels! When it comes to your pelvic health, it is important to look to adjacent muscle groups to treat and strengthen💪

I wish I had worn Vivobarefoot shoes when I was younger ...

Time to post this gem again from the team at . In short: wear pointy shoes = develop pointy feet (aka bunions)
👣
WOMEN DITCHED THE STAYS AND CORSETS – ISNT’ IT TIME WE DID THE SAME WITH NARROW, POINTY SHOES??
This image shows how feet can be pushed and pinched into the shape of shoes. And for women and girls this shoe shape is more than likely to be slim and pointy
So what happens to slim and pointy feet? When we consider adult women are FOUR TIMES as likely as men to have debilitating, painful foot problems, it’s pretty clear WOMEN’S SHOES are a problem
Isn’t it time fashion stopped constricting our bodies into painful submission? This mother is making sure her daughter DOESN’T follow in her pointy-shoe footsteps, literally
While Mum has uncomfortable, unhealthy and unhappy feet, she’s making sure Daughter’s footsteps stay FOOT-SHAPED: she goes barefoot where possible and when shoes are necessary makes sure those shoes are foot-shaped: FLEXIBLE, WIDE and BENDY so her daughter’s feet can grow strong and healthy
VivoKids are all created to be as close to barefoot as possible; protecting only from climate and terrain so feet can do their natural, healthy thing as they grow
We don’t believe in corsets: for bodies - or feet!
