Andy is an absolute gold-mine of knowledge and takes an honest, pragmatic and evidence-based approach to his one-to-one sessions, and rather than simply delivering an opinion and a prescriptive treatment plan, helped me understand the physiological mechanisms behind my issues for myself. This meant that rather than struggling on with a single painful or ineffective treatment exercise, I could attend classes, experiment with a variety of movements, and identify those that worked for me. The old adage about giving a man a fish has never been more true...

Not only did Pilates help me cure my initial knee problem, but its also taught me how to minimise future injuries in the face of a fairly gung-ho attitude to self-preservation and given me a toolkit of exercises to fix minor niggles as they occur. Added to the fact that the classes are fun (in a way that the gym or traditional exercise classes simply aren't) and leave you feeling 2" taller with springs under your feet, the whole experience has been little short of "life-changing". My climbing, which I was on the verge of giving up, has improved; I'm re-motivated to general exercise/training, which had become uncomfortable and frustrating; I've saved a small fortune in marginally-effective osteopathic treatment; and, most importantly, feel like I can do the (probably ill-advised) things I want to do with less fear of injury.

Cheers
