Pilates
Therapeutic Pilates in Gdańsk is available with Edward Bateman, a British-trained osteopath with over 15 years of clinical experience. Sessions are available both in-person at the clinic and virtually throughout the week. All instruction is delivered entirely in English, making this a welcoming option for expats, international residents, and English-speaking patients across the Trójmiasto region.
What Is Therapeutic Pilates?
Therapeutic Pilates is a mindful movement practice that builds strength, improves posture, and restores ease in the body. Unlike general fitness Pilates, therapeutic Pilates is guided by a clinically trained practitioner. As a result, every session is carefully tailored to your individual needs, taking into account your medical history, movement patterns, and personal goals. Through controlled, flowing exercises, you develop a stable core, release tension, and move with greater confidence in everyday life.
What Can Pilates Help With?
Pilates Gdańsk sessions with Edward Bateman may help with a wide range of conditions and goals, including:
- Back pain and postural problems related to work or daily life
- Core strength and stability for better overall support
- Recovery from injury through gentle, progressive movement
- Flexibility and ease of movement in everyday activities
- Body awareness and connection to breath
- Prevention of future injury through balanced movement patterns
What to Expect in a Session
Each session begins with a brief check-in to understand how you are feeling and what you would like to focus on. Following this, we move into a series of guided exercises using a mat and, where appropriate, simple equipment such as resistance bands, small balls, or blocks. Throughout the session, the pace remains steady and unhurried, giving you plenty of time to explore each movement and refine your alignment.
How Are Sessions Adapted to Me?
Every session is adapted to your level and needs. Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to movement after injury, or more experienced and looking for a greater challenge, options are always available. In addition, modifications are offered throughout so that exercises can be made gentler or more demanding as required. You are always in control of the pace.
