Rehabilitate Injuries

What Is Pilates?
Developed by Joseph H. Pilates (b.1880 d.1967) Pilates is a system of exercises that engages the body and mind in thoughtful, intelligent movement in order to achieve inner core strength and balance throughout the whole body.
Pilates incorporates breath and movement in a balanced flow of precise exercises designed to align and tone all the muscles throughout the body with particular focus on stabilizing the shoulder girdle, the pelvis and strengthening the core abdominal muscles.
Why Choose Pilates?
Pilates works from the inside out, strengthening not just the bigger, more obvious muscles, but also the smaller, deeper ones — especially your core. Every exercise activates your whole body, helping you build balanced strength and “uniform development” so you move with ease and control.
Suitable for all ages and abilities, Pilates supports you in everything you do outside the studio — from daily tasks to your favourite activities. With regular practice, you’ll feel more comfortable in your body, move more freely, and enjoy a greater sense of well-being.
Is Pilates Right For You?
Pilates is for almost everyone. With hundreds of exercises and endless variations, your program can be tailored to your goals, your body, and your current level — whether you’re 18 or 80.
People from all walks of life turn to it to improve posture, ease tension, and feel stronger in everyday movement.
Athletes and dancers use Pilates to boost performance and recover from injuries.
It’s also a powerful tool for rehabilitation. Once your injury has been diagnosed by a health professional, Pilates helps you rebuild strength and restore movement in a safe, supportive, and low-stress environment.
Pilates for rehabilitation
Pilates is highly effective for recovering from injuries. After diagnosis and treatment by your healthcare provider, the key to healing is regaining strength and movement as soon as possible — and doing so in a gentle, stress-free environment.
Our Pilates equipment offers just that. It supports your body while helping to strengthen, mobilise, and stabilise the injured area safely. With tailored exercises designed for a wide range of injuries and conditions, Pilates guides you on the path to recovery with care and confidence.

Testimonials
Rachel is not only passionate about Pilates, but also about understanding how the body can move and function. She takes pride in understanding her clients' needs, limitations and goals and has enthusiasm in helping them move better through day to day life. The way she can have multiple people within one class and yet still offer an individualised session, taking into account how everyone is feeling on that day, is inspiring. Her anatomical cueing and ability to adapt to individual needs is highly specialised and only comes about from years of experience and dedicated ongoing learning within Pilates and movement therapy.

I have been a member for almost a year, best thing I ever did! The team at Stomping Ground were recommended to me and I have not looked back. When I started I had many issues, chronic back pain (since having my first child 34 years ago) which I had resigned myself to just living with, a crush foot injury and hip problems. I now no longer have any back pain, my hip problems are under control and my crush injury has improved dramatically. The team at SGS are amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, passionate and professional. I started at a point lower than beginner, if possible, but always felt respected and supported. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone and at any level of fitness or well being. First commitment I have made to my own health and wellness that I haven’t lost interest or motivation in thanks to the wonderful supportive team at SGS. Thank you!

My introduction to Rachel’s skills as a Pilates instructor took place in 2008 when I began taking private classes. I found her knowledge, resourcefulness, experience and creativity enormously beneficial and the efficacy of Rachel’s classes for my rehabilitation was quite astonishing!

The Equipment Pilates classes here completely changed my life as in the past I had chronic shoulder pain and headaches and my life quality was low and I relied on Ibuprofen a lot. The instructor here is incredible at working with you, your body and injuries to build strength where it is needed, without flaring up pain. Could not recommend enough!

Stomping Ground Studios is the perfect small group studio with highly trained teachers. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has never tried Pilates before as well as those that are experienced. The people coming to classes are all lovely and friendly too
