Pilates 4 Everyone — Back pain support through certified Back4Good® Pilates in Wonersh, Guildford and across the Surrey Hills

My Approach to Back Care

At Pilates 4 Everyone, I specialise in Body Control Matwork Pilates, a method known for its safety, precision and ability to strengthen the deep postural muscles that support the spine. My approach focuses on one-to-one sessions tailored to your needs, giving you the personalised support required to relieve pain and rebuild strength with confidence.

Whether your back pain is occasional, chronic, posture-related, stress-related or linked to stiffness and immobility, Pilates offers a safe way forward for both men and women of all ages.

Why Pilates Helps With Back Pain

Pilates is one of the most recommended forms of exercise by physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths

Strengthens the deep core muscles

These stabilising muscles support the spine, reducing strain and preventing future pain.

Improves posture & alignment

Poor sitting, standing or lifting habits can overload the back. Pilates retrains the body to move efficiently and safely.

Increases mobility & reduces stiffness

Gentle, controlled movements improve flexibility in the spine and hips, helping relieve tightness and restriction.

Builds balanced strength

Pilates strengthens weak muscles and releases tension from overworked areas, creating better symmetry in the body.

Reduces stress & improves breathing

Stress can increase muscle tension in the back and shoulders. Pilates uses mindful breathing to calm the nervous system.

Supports rehabilitation after injury

Ideal for those recovering from disc issues, muscle strain, sciatica, or long-term compensation patterns.

Whether you are newly experiencing discomfort or have lived with back pain for years, Pilates can help restore strength, confidence and ease of movement.

Why One-to-One Pilates Works Best for Back Pain

Personalised sessions designed around your body

While group classes can be helpful, back pain is best addressed through one-to-one Pilates, where movements can be tailored specifically to your spine, posture and mobility.

In a private session, I can:

  • Assess how you move
  • Identify habits contributing to your pain
  • Give individual corrections and hands-on guidance
  • Adapt every exercise to your comfort level
  • Progress at a pace that suits you
  • Focus on your personal goals — whether that's pain relief, mobility, posture or confidence

This personalised approach builds a stronger foundation and often leads to faster, safer and longer-lasting results.

Private Pilates is Especially Beneficial For:

Men with tight backs and hips
Desk-based professionals
Parents lifting young children
People with long-term pain or recurring episodes
Older adults seeking gentle but effective strengthening
Anyone recovering from injury

Benefits for Men & Women

Pilates for Men

Men often experience stiffness through the lower back, tight hamstrings, reduced hip mobility and tension from work or sport. Pilates helps by:

  • Improving flexibility without forcing stretches
  • Strengthening the deep core for better spinal support
  • Reducing back tightness linked to sitting or heavy lifting
  • Balancing strength between strong and weaker muscles
  • Improving mobility for sport, running and daily life

Pilates for Women

Women may experience back pain from pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, carrying children, stress or posture. Pilates helps by:

  • Strengthening pelvic floor and deep abdominals
  • Reducing lower-back tension
  • Supporting hormonal changes that affect connective tissue
  • Improving posture after pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Creating confidence and safety in movement

Pilates is gentle, adaptable and safe for both men and women at all stages of life.
