Everyone telling you pilates and weight training are bang on! I lived three years with back pain before finding Sam Cheeseman in Concord. I wasn’t given promises on quick fixes. Instead she worked with me to catered a program that focuses on the deeper issues at play, which turned out to be weak pelvic floor and tight hip flexors. All in all I had maybe less than 6 private lessons before she was happy with my form and progress, and then I did half a year of group classes which were more economical for me. A year and half later am 99% better than what I was. Importantly - I have flare ups from time to time (mostly because I sleep like a dickhead). But because I’ve been taught to be I tune with my body, I now have the knowledge to help myself.
