Co-ordination, flexibility, and core strength are the foundation stones to building the strength and fitness to sail competitively, and to prevent injury.
Liz Rushall is a Level 3 Pilates instructor and member of the Register of Exercise Professsionals. 'Flex-Ability' offers progressive core stability and Pilates training, tailored towards sailors needs - enabling you improve posture, body awareness and precision movement both on and off the water.
Pilates is a form of exercise that emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength and stability, flexibility and awareness, in order to support efficient and improved movement.
Sailing and many everyday life activities, such as working at a laptop, causes many postural issues and commonly lower back pain. Pilates is highly effective at reversing these issues, and most importantly can help prevent sports injuries. The slow controlled movements strengthen our deep inner core muscles that stabilise and support the spine, and help to realign the body, increase mobility and correct postural problems.
