"Some years
ago I slipped a disc in my back and have suffered chronic
back pain ever since, resulting in immobility and weight gain.
I had other problems which entailed several bouts of
abdominal surgery. I bought the Pilates machine feeling very
sceptical. How wrong I was!!! Now I get out of bed pain free
and get straight on with housework. I use my Pilates machine every
day and 6 months on am still seeing improvements. I used to
take pain killers all the time, now I don't take any!!
It is no exaggeration to say that this machine has helped
to give me back my life, I am now pain free and much happier
for it, thank you so much!"
Mrs Smith, Leeds
"I am absolutely delighted
with the results so far after only three weeks. I have been
under treatment with my chiropractor for nearly a year now
after a chair collapsed beneath me. I just wish I had my 'Pilates'
a year ago!"
Mrs Buckland, Devon
"I am 37 years of age and
have had Eythromelalgia for about 3-4 years now. These last
few years have been a nightmare, it would get so bad that
my feet would burn all day and night. Then about 5 months
ago, I bought a piece of exercise equipment called a Pilates
Performer. The first thing I noticed, after about 2 months
of 1 hour a day usage, was that my ankles were less swollen.
Then after month 3, the attacks stopped altogether. I am absolutely
elated that I am managing to keep the Eythro at bay as I really
thought that I would suffer for the rest of my days."
Mrs Bishop, Middlesex
"Pilates has been the one
form of exercise I have been able to keep to - and more importantly
enjoy! I began about 12 months ago and kept it up solidly
for 7 months, before I was forced to stop through injury,
but having got back on the machine when able I found it unbelievable
to experience the feeling of change within the week. I'd hate
to live without my performer now."
Joyce, East Grinstead
