All The Tools You Need To work with older clients
These courses will not only deliver creative solutions for the Ageing process but encompass the concept that Pilates can be an important a social event for older clients, especially in this day and age of social isolation. Even remote classes can assist with social isolation.
In 2020 the number of people 60 and above rose to over 1 billion. This is almost 15% of the world’s population. This population is growing.
Some goals for Ageing clients include:
- Staying physically mobile
- Being able to contribute – keeping fit enough to look after the grandkids
- Being healthy for optimum enjoyment of life
- Maintaining mental and physical capacities
- Staying fit enough to continue to enjoy activities that bring value and joy
It is scary to start to age. To be told your cholesterol is high, your blood pressure high, you have breast cancer, you have Parkinson’s disease, you have a stroke, you have low bone density. It is hard to enjoy life if you have constant hip, knee, spine or shoulder pain. These courses will help with all of these.
Pilates for Active Ageing
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness”
Joseph Pilates
Joseph Pilates believed that in order to achieve happiness you must first become physically fit. If at 30 you are stiff and out of shape are you old? If at 60 you are supple, strong and toned are you young?
Can you stop the clock through Pilates?
Ageing is a natural process, but Pilates can assist in slowing down some the ageing process including:

- Reduced bone density
- Pelvic floor weakening due to menopause and child birth
- Accumulation of injuries and illness over a lifetime eg hip and knee replacements, breast cancer, spine degeneration
