"A year and a half ago I had a bulging disc in my lumbar spine which was restricting me from doing any exercise and taking a toll on my daily life. I was in huge amounts of pain in my lower back, psoas and other hip flexors, in fact I was not even able to put on a pair of shoes comfortably. After months of treatments from chiropractors, physiotherapists and acupuncturists, none of which gave me any relief, I finally tried Pilates. At first it was hard to make the smallest of movements in the class and being generally quite fit, this was embarrassing for me. But with Simone's knowledge and experience, not to mention her patience, I persisted. Not only have I gained strength and flexibility but I feel like I've been given another shot at being myself again. Thank you to The Loft for getting me back to my happy healthy self again."
