As a 61 year old male, I enjoyed sports and was never overweight however my back continuously deteriorated.
Eighteen months ago, I suffered from cervical and lower back pains and used to go almost every week to the chiropractor.
The identified cause was primarily long hours in front of a computer screen and old injuries that took place more than 30 years earlier!
My wife talk to me about Pilates with a lady called Nesta. I didn’t believe much of it, although I had noticed she had stopped complaining about her back pains!
Then my local chiropractor told me than Pilates would do me a lot of good!
Finally as the session with him only improved my condition for short periods of time,
I decided to try Nesta. I never looked back! Nesta explained the problems of my weak stomach muscles and my compressed vertebra and that it would take time!
She prescribed two sessions of one hour per week. Initially it appears a lot! I never looked back.
After as little as 3 months my back had improved drastically! 18 months later I am still enjoying my Pilates, twice a week.
My cervical and back pains have disappeared. If I have a small relapse which does happen with the incredible changes of climate and temperature that we enjoy,
then within a week the minor issue is fixed! I never looked back!

I have been going to Nesta for 3 years now. I have a lower back injury (Spondylolisthesis) and had lost faith in being competitively active again.
When I first went to her I was only cycling as any other activity would cause back pain.
3 years later and I have completed 3 Ironman and many other triathlons as well as an improved quality of life.
The all-round strength gained through Pilates has allowed me to achieve more than I thought I could.
Nesta is fantastic and explains what the exercises target and builds your strength at your pace. Thanks Nesta

If ever you feel that you have no worth in this world, please remember the work that you do and how you have helped cope through my pregnancy :)
It’s not easy having a back injury and carrying a growing baby, but by doing Pilates with you,
my pain levels have been a level 2 instead of 12 and it’s no longer number one on my mind of how I’m going to cope.
I used to be on Schedule 5 pain killers almost every second day… the last 6 months have been bliss not having to take them :)
Your guidance, care and teaching has helped me in many ways. You are a gift! Thank you again.

I'm an avid runner, running between 60 and 120km's a week over long periods of time with very few breaks in between!
One thing I know for sure is that I definitely wouldn't be able to run these kinds of distances if it wasn't for Pilates!
Prior to incorporating Pilates into my training schedule (I go 3 times a week)
I used to really battle with debilitating knee and back injuries, but a couple of months after starting Pilates my whole body strengthened!
Especially my "problem running areas" - Core, hips, quads, knees, calves, and ankles, positively impacting my running, as well as my overall health and wellbeing!
People think that Pilates does not apply to athletes but I will never stop going, as it has without doubt made ALL the difference to my running! Thank you so much Nesta!
