The Teacher
Sharon Thompson
I'm a highly experienced Pilates teacher and NeuroKinetic Therapist, based in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire.
I teach all levels from rehabilitation to advanced Pilates and age is no barrier. My particular passion is to help you find ways to move better, feel better and be pain free and it's never too late.
I am constantly updating my skills with courses that mainly revolve around rehabilitation and correcting faulty movement patterns. This is how I came to qualify as a Neurokinetic Therapist. NKT is an assessment tool which involves testing muscles and reprogramming the brain with new correct movement patterns.
Pilates
Pilates is a holistic exercise system designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body to balance; so much more than just building a 'strong core' or 'perfect posture'. Exercises involve the whole body and are performed on spring-assisted apparatus or a mat, sometimes utilising small equipment.
Pilates is effective as it addresses underlying structural imbalances in the body which can create on-going pain and difficulty with movement. The whole body is considered. Lengthened and strengthened muscles improve posture and overall fitness and retrain dysfunctional movement patterns, restoring optimum physical function.
