Case Studies

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s nearly ten years ago, at the age of 38. One of the symptoms of the condition is loss of control of movement, and this is commonly more pronounced on one side of the body. As the condition progresses. it is easy to lose confidence in one’s self. When I first met Mauro Ossola at Alan Herdman Pilates, my body was frequently leaning to one side but now I can stand straight. It is good for the morale to feel so much stronger and thanks to Mauro’s excellent teaching I can now swim a whole length of the pool in a straight line (before I would go round and round in circles). Recently I even skied downhill – a truly liberating experience. It is impossible to over-estimate the positive effect of re-gaining some control over my movement and being able to see such positive results.

Thank you, Mauro!
