Knee/Hip - Reduce Pain with Exercise - 6 Week Course (17th April - 22nd May 2024)

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SIX WEEK COURSE RUNNING ON THE SPECIFIED DATES, THERE IS ONE SPACE LEFT AT THE TIME OF THE COURSE STARTING, THEREFORE THE PRICE HAS BEEN REDUCED PRO RATA TO £62.40 TO REFLECT JUST THE REMAINING 4 WEEKS FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BOOK THAT LAST PLACE. Please also note that payments are non refundable and non transferable under any circumstances. 

This course has been written by Neil Carpenter of Upminster Pilates Studio in conjunction with Physiotherapist Graham Holman of Havering Therapy Centre

This course will teach you how exercise and nutrition can improve or help to manage your pain, physical function and quality of life. Over 6 weeks we will take you through basic exercises you can continue with at home, to strengthen your joints and help to manage your pain from arthritis or other chronic hip/knee conditions. The course has a maximum of 6 participants and is suitable for anyone of any age suffering long term with their knees/hips, and will include many seated and standing exercises for those who would otherwise struggle to get down to the floor.

SILVER PACKAGE: With our Silver package you will get one Knee/Hip pain class per week for 6 weeks on a Wednesday at 4.35pm on the specified dates, plus access to all of our beginner classes via our online ClassSwap portal to enable you to book into any of these classes for FREE if you would like (and are able) to exercise more than once per week for the duration of the course. Please note however that if you plan to attend EXTRA Beginner Pilates Classes, these are not tailored to Knee/Hip pain and therefore this is only possible if you can get down to the floor and up again unaided (the beginner classes are held on Mondays 6:00pm, Tuesdays 12:25pm, Thursdays 8:10pm, Sundays 10:40am [subject to availability]). The cost of our Silver package is £93.60 and can be booked right now via this site.

We also have a GOLD PACKAGE which includes everything in the Silver package, PLUS weekly meal plans for the duration of the course, aimed specifically at improving arthritis symptoms with lots of anti-inflammatory foods to help alleviate joint stiffness and pain (and weight control if applicable), with nutritionist Jenni Gordon. If you are interested in upgrading to our Gold Package and would like more details and pricing, please email us on upminstersportsmassage@gmail.com

Both of the packages above come with the offer of an exclusive 10% discount (an additional fee) for an initial 30min Physiotherapy session at Havering Therapy Centre if desired at some point prior to or during the course.

If you would like (and are able) to attend Pilates classes with us after the end of the course, please email Neil to check suitability and availability upminstersportsmassage@gmail.com.

Please note that as the Nutrition and Physio options are booked directly via separate companies, we cannot be held liable for any issues that may be encountered.
