Tensegrity Training (52855WA)
Certificate IV in Contemporary Pilates and Teaching Methodology with Reformer Specialisation.
Greg had been a tradie for 30 years, which like most tradies slowly wears out the body. He then suffered a back injury to 3 spinal discs while working. Pilates was recommended as a way to strengthen his body and relieve the stress on his spine.
Greg's injury caused pressure on the nerves, which in turn caused alternating numbness or pain down the entire length of his right leg and lower back. Surgeons told him that he would have to live with some level of pain for the rest of his life. Pilates was suggested as a way to possibly ease the pain, but Surgery was recommended.
Greg chose Pilates and within a few short weeks he could already feel the benefits within his body, and fell in love with the Pilates philosophy. He decided a seachange was needed and enrolled in a Diploma of Pilates.
Greg has benefited first hand from the power of Pilates, and understands the journey that can be required to rehabilitate an injury. His Pilates journey has been so successful to date that his surgeon no longer thinks he will need an operation.
Greg loves to help people along their own personal Pilates journey, to feel good within their own bodies, and loves to teach people about Pilates philosophies, breathing and mindfulness.
"Thanks to Pilates I am pain free most days, and have found a love of Movement, Strength and Mobility in my daily life".
