What is pilates?

Pilates is a system of stretches, poses and exercises that aim to increase core strength and flexibility across the body. It is generally conducted in a slow and co-ordinated way in tandem with deliberate breathing exercises. “Core stability” is a term that’s widely used amongst personal trainers and athletes looking to improve their overall performance. However, it is commonly misunderstood to just mean increasing the strength of the stomach muscles. In fact, a stable core requires strong and controlled back and limb muscles to support the body through the spine and abdomen.

How can pilates support physiotherapy?

Particularly helpful in people with back problems, pilates is often recommended by physiotherapists for clients who need to improve their overall conditioning in a controlled way. The ideal complement to other, more targeted treatments, it can strengthen smaller, weakened muscle groups and increase stability around known vulnerabilities, supporting recovery.

Jamie was sat with me when the ankle specialist shattered my dreams of playing in the World Cup 2010 for England. Jamie did not accept the prognosis and told me I would make the World Cup. After employing all the latest sports medicine techniques and rehabilitation strategies, I made the World Cup 2010. Thanks Murph for allowing me to live my boyhood dream.

JAMES CALDER

Orthopaedic Surgeon Specialising in Sporting Injuries

I have worked with James in a professional capacity for approaching 10 years and he has been involved in the rehabilitation of many of my patients. I also worked closely with him when he was a physiotherapist at Manchester City Football Club. He has always shown great dedication to his patients ensuring that they have optimal physiotherapy – achieving excellent results post-operatively but also enabling surgery to be avoided following complex ankle injuries. James has an excellent knowledge base with regards to sports’ injuries of the foot and ankle and I look forward to working with him in the future – I would have no hesitation in recommending a member of my family to see him were they to sustain a sports’ injury to the foot and ankle.

Simply put Jamie is special, one in a million, a rare find! I came across Jamie as a referral from another therapist during my challenge. I had severe issues with my back and the challenge was in real jeopardy if I didn’t sort it out. Jamie worked with me for 10 days, accessing every aspect of my injury, treating me as an individual case and to put it bluntly, cured what most couldn’t have. I learnt a lot from Jamie about my issue and ways in which to prevent it from happening again. I was back running back to back marathons 10 days after my injury and this is because of this amazing man. Jamie, thank you, you will always be remembered as the guy that saved The 401 Challenge!

Great physio, very dedicated and hard working. Very approachable, and from a players point of view all the dressing room spoke highly of him. I have known Jamie personally for over 6 years and worked along side him at New York Red Bulls, where he was Performance Director. He is an excellent physio, one of the best I have worked with.

ANDREW WILLIAMS

Orthopaedic Surgeon at Fortius, Harley Street

I have had the good fortune to have worked with Jamie since he was a physiotherapist at Bolton FC thence Newcastle United FC, Manchester City FC and during his period at the New York Red Bulls. As well as dealing with the elite footballers at these clubs, I also dealt with a number of patients Jamie was treating at his private practice JAM Physio in Blackpool. Throughout our long relationship, Jamie has provided the highest quality physiotherapy in terms of diagnosis, treatment planning and case discussion with me. His rehabilitation following surgery is superb.
