4.0 out of 5 stars Pilates for physiotherapy, core strength, postnatal, 24 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I went to see a physiotherapist for 6 months for painful sciatica, lower back, pelvis and leg pain after a tough pregnancy. She prescribed a physiotherapy course based on Pilates and when I was done she suggested I try other Pilates videos or classes to continue my recovery. They nearly killed me! Until I found this DVD.

The other Pilates I tried was trying too hard to be, well, 'hard' -- to appeal to superfit people. This tape is back to basics, nothing fancy, exercises that simply work.

They are the exact exercises my physiotherapist prescribed plus a few more I trust implicitly because the focus is on safety, precision, core strength and results... not fancy locations, uber sexy actresses, and pretty leotards (though the scenery is nice, the instructor pleasing, just not over powering).

I am quite simply better off. The sciatica pain is easing off -- and I don't have to pay out a lot more money to go back to the physio. I'm sticking with this!

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be difficult for beginners, 14 Aug 2006
By Queenie Watts (Borehamwood, Herts) - See all my reviews
In my opinion Ms Lloyd-Barker describes the technique in a way that would be difficult for a beginner to practise. For instance, in several places in the DVD she instructs the viewer to engage the TA (transverse abdominals) at about 30%. If you haven't previously had any personal instruction, it would be very difficult to judge what is or isn't 30%. I have had lessons in the past from reputable teachers and they have never spoken in terms of percentages when instructing pupils to engage this group of muscles. Having said that, I did get relief from a persistent nagging backache at night after one session.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pilates for Back and Posture, 18 Oct 2006
I have a collpased lower disc which has caused chronic lower back pain and severe nerve pain in the groin for the last 9 months. I have tried physio, injections in the spine, swimming and reflexology, though all have been very painful, expensive and have not cured my condition. I have been using this DVD daily for the last 8 weeks and this has vastly improved my condition. Initially, I found it hard to perform the breathing techniques but once these are mastered, the exercises are easy. I have now memorised the DVD and therefore I am able to perform the exercises without the DVD in approximately 25 minutes, anywhere in the house.
