Make sure you read this testimonial we just received!!! I have been diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip joints do not develop properly for a variety of reasons. In my case one reason was my 20 years of dancing in ‘turnout’. As a result of the developmental problems, I now have torn cartilage, bursitis, arthritis, swelling and pain that travels down my quadriceps and hamstrings to my knee, and into my lower back and in my groin. Ive given up hiking, going to the gym and running, and prior to starting at Inner Strength, had reached a point where I had developed a limp, could not walk the dog around the block or use the stairs at work. And I am only 32 years old. Both hips require reconstructive surgery which I have been waiting to have for almost 12 months now. My surgeon encouraged me to begin Pilates twice a week until the first surgery. For 9 months I attended Pilates classes through my Physiotherapist clinic with no improvement in symptoms. After my first week of Pilates at Inner Strength (3 sessions) I started to notice some relief in pain levels, and this has continued to improve. I am now about 6 weeks in and although I still experience some daily pain, I estimate the improvement in symptoms to be about 80% better than before. It’s an amazing result which was completely unexpected! On my first visit I was impressed with the warm, inviting environment of the studio and the introductory session was very thorough. My regular instructor has been nothing but patient, kind and encouraging - and Pilates is now the highlight of each week. I would not hesitate to recommend Inner Strength and encourage others to try it! Bianca.
