1-1 SESSIONS

Personalized one-to-one sessions are a great way to understand your body better and see quick results.

During an initial consultation, your teacher will learn about your injury history and assess your posture’s influence on pain.

Your teacher will guide you on how to support yourself between lessons and you will set achievable goals together.

Whether you’re dealing with back pain, a specific injury, or a demanding office job, one-to-one sessions with Ankor can assist in reducing pain, enhancing posture, and creating noticeable differences in your body.

All 1-1s are done as home visits, so our teachers come to you.

Tali grew up in Edinburgh and trained as a dancer from a young age. A chronic back injury at the age of 10 led her to Pilates during a two year break from dancing. During this time, Pilates helped Tali to strengthen her body and heal her pain, and eventually enabled her to complete a degree in Contemporary Dance. Deeply passionate about chronic pain, Tali provides challenging classes with a strong mind-body connection. She aims to educate clients about pain and she teaches lighthearted, accessible classes that help clients to strengthen, stretch, and heal.

Maddy first discovered her love for Pilates whilst training at ballet school and found it was a way to stay strong, supple, and injury free. Unfortunately, when she was 19 Maddy had a serious hip operation which required extensive rehabilitation. Pilates was invaluable in her recovery and is a large reason that she was able to return to dancing post-surgery and pursue a professional dance career.

Maddy’s background in movement has a huge influence on her teaching and her classes are flowing, precise and fun. Maddy is currently in her final year of studies at St George’s University, London and will qualify as a Physiotherapist in July.

WHAT TO EXPECT

1-1s will always be tailored to suit your needs and our teachers will go through the following approaches below.

If you’re particularly interested in any of the following approaches, please let us know.

Taking a detailed injury history involves gathering comprehensive information about any past injuries, accidents, or medical conditions that you might have experienced. These valuable insights enable our teachers to tailor their approach, providing you with specific exercises and creating a personalized program that caters to your individual needs.

A postural assessment evaluates your body’s alignment and movement while standing, sitting, or moving. Our experts analyze muscle imbalances, skeletal alignment, and movement patterns to identify concerns and potential issues. It helps detect misalignments and imbalances that could cause discomfort or pain.

A movement assessment evaluates how your body moves during various activities. Our skilled professionals observe mobility, stability, and coordination to identify limitations or dysfunctional patterns. With this understanding, we design targeted exercises to improve your everyday activities and reduce pain.

A desk assessment evaluates your workspace ergonomics to ensure proper desk and chair arrangement, computer placement, and posture. This assessment is beneficial as it reduces pain, prevents unnecessary strain on muscles, and promotes a healthier and more comfortable work environment.

Your Pilates teacher will assign you homework exercises, which come with several benefits. Practicing these exercises reinforces what you learn in 1-1s and classes, accelerating progress. Consistent practice at home also fosters flexibility, strength, and relaxation, leading to quicker pain reduction and an overall improvement in your well-being.
