Such a superstar! 🙌⭐

A simple game using some sensory scarfs and pegs is really good for a child's development.

Little Izzy here has been working hard on her upper limb skills and mobility following a Paediatric Stroke. She has a physio programme and activities to work on at home & in school.

This little task works on:

💫 Develops fine motor skills and strengthens finger muscles.
💫 Practices the coordination of movements of both hands.
💫 Improves visual and motor coordination.
💫 Develops attention, perseverance and concentration.

Such activities are an important part of preparing for school, because well developed fine motor skills are directly linked to the development of speech, writing and the successful development of academic skills.

Through Pilates, children can gain awareness of their body, and learn how to move efficiently and gracefully.

Pilates can help establish correct principles of movement that children will use for their entire lives. It is a safe, low impact exercise for children as they grow through the stages of development and classes are planned age appropriately.

It will also create a balanced musculature that can alleviate pain and reduce the potential for injury, now and as they continue to grow into adulthood.

A secret superpower; coordinating the mind, body & spirit to optimise inner strength and stability. A constant work in progress!

For each Pilates movement, there is a breath in or out that accompanies that movement. There is also a specific technique for breathing that should be used when performing the exercises. I teach all of these age appropriately!

The main muscles that we focus on in Pilates that are involved in breathing are the diaphragm and oblique muscles.

There are many benefits of Pilates for Teenagers. Here are just a few:

💫 They learn skills to prevent injuries
💫 They learn mind-body connections which help to improve levels of concentration and focus, which can in turn help with mental health and anxiety
💫 Enhances physical performance by working on the core muscles to build strength, especially in the back, abdomen and pelvis
💫 Improves confidence
💫 Increases Flexibility
💫 Improved Posture
💫 Increased Muscle Strength, Length and Control
💫 Increased Self Esteem and Confidence

If your child/younger adult has any physical or sensory challenges, please do let us know, these sessions can be fully adapted to meet their needs as they are all taught by an experienced Paediatric Therapist.

Thank you, Claire x

We are absolutely bursting with pride! We love having pictures/videos shared with us.

Nursery graduation & ready for school next week! Little George was just a baby when we first met! 💙

We have worked closely with Little Monkeys Nursery and I know George will miss them so much. We had his EHCP meeting last month and made some good plans regarding his transition, training and equipment in preparation for September. George you are so ready for your next adventure! 💪🙌

Helping Archie achieve his goals using a collaborative, holistic approach. He's doing amazing!
