PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIALS
Osteopath Amy Collins at Oak Park Clinic, Farnham Therapies refers clients to Farnham Pilates because – “I know changes I make to improve patients flexibility and movement with osteopathy can be maintained by pilates, enabling the person to be in control of their own recovery and reduce the number of treatments they may need. I can rely on Hannah and her team to keep track of my patients and adapt to their exact needs whether it’s recovering from a specific injury, those that want to improve their posture or just want to feel healthier and stronger”.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“You’re such a brilliant teacher and I do admire the way you’re continually progressing and upgrading the classes to keep them interesting and on the cutting edge.”
B.H. Farnham
“After a back operation in April 2014, my surgeon suggested that I take up Pilates to speed up the recovery process and also to help prevent injuries in the future. The sessions with Hannah made a real difference to the mobility and strength of my back and were surprisingly good fun. She provided me with exercises to do between sessions which didn’t take too long and helped keep up the progress. After five sessions I started having physio and my therapist was surprised at how little extra work she needed to do which she attributed to the Pilates. I shall certainly keep up Pilates in future and the sessions I had showed me that it’s not just something that can benefit women. I would highly recommend Hannah to anybody in a similar position to me” R C Farnham
