Pilates for Athletic Performance & Recovery

You already train hard. What I offer is the work that makes that training more effective — and more sustainable.

This is not about stretching and slowing down. It is about identifying and correcting the movement patterns, imbalances, and compensations that limit performance and increase injury risk — then building the precise strength and mobility to address them.

For Golfers

Golf places repeated rotational stress on the same side of the body. Over time, this creates predictable imbalances — tight hips, restricted thoracic mobility, a dominant and a weaker side. I target those patterns directly.

• Thoracic rotation and spinal mobility for a fuller, more efficient swing

• Glute and hip stability for power transfer and lower back protection

• Shoulder mobility and rotator cuff integrity for a controlled, repeatable swing plane

• Core control under rotational load — the most overlooked element in golf fitness

For Surfers

Surfing demands explosive power, balance, and the ability to absorb unpredictable forces through a body already fatigued from paddling. I build the specific foundation that keeps you in the water longer and recovering faster.

• Posterior chain strength — glutes, hamstrings, and lower back for pop-up power

• Shoulder and rotator cuff work to handle the volume of paddling without injury

• Spinal decompression and hip flexor release for post-surf recovery

• Balance and proprioception training for reactive board control

For All Athletes

Whether you run, swim, cycle, play tennis, or train in the gym — the same principles apply. I build sessions around your sport and your body, not a generic fitness programme.

  • It varies from person to person, and depends on how often you train, your starting point, and what you are working towards. That said, most people notice something fairly quickly — a shift in posture, a sense of moving more freely, a general feeling of being more connected to their body. The deeper, more visible changes take longer to build. After two months of consistent practice, most people notice a real difference — in how they move, how they feel, and how they carry themselves. One session a week is a meaningful starting point; more frequent training naturally accelerates the process.

  • Yes, and significantly. Golfers who incorporate targeted Pilates work consistently notice improvements in swing consistency, distance, and back health — through better rotation, more stable contact, and reduced compensatory tension.
