How Empower Your Core Helped Lisa Reclaim Her Life from a 50 Year Old Injury
From a decades-old spinal injury to renewed flexibility, see how personalised Pilates training helped Lisa reclaim a pain-free, active life and even improved her golf swing.
Challenge
After a severe fall in 1972 damaged her spinal column, Lisa spent decades managing pain and compensation. On her physiotherapist’s advice, she tried Pilates with a cautious trial to rebuild posture and lasting strength.
Approach
We created a safe, controlled setting and focused on foundations: precise alignment, core engagement and controlled range to build stability from the inside out. We took time to map the complexities of her longstanding injury and moved at a pace that felt secure yet challenging. Friends soon said she was walking and standing differently. That feedback turned a single trial into four years of weekly practice, each session layering skill, strength and resilience.
Results
Today Lisa moves with confidence well beyond her original goals. Everyday tasks feel lighter, hobbies more enjoyable. Balance and posture improved. The most telling praise came from her golf instructor: “Don’t change your swing—it’s great. I’ve never seen anyone your age that flexible.” For Lisa, the result is simple: less pain, more freedom.
