“We have found great benefit with the introduction of Pilates sessions at Preston North End FC. Both the 1st team professionals and the youth team have weekly sessions of Pilates in an attempt to address the various weaknesses in player’s core control.  It plays a key part of our preventative rehabilitation strategies that we implement at the football club.”

Football is a rigorous sport that demands rapid speed changes, pivoting, sideways and backwards displacement and jumping motions that combine all these movements. Thus it is inevitable that footballers are predisposed to injury. Football injuries that respond to Pilate’s treatment are those affecting the lower limbs. Injuries to the upper leg often result from direct blows which may lead to bruising in the muscle area.
 


Injuries sustained around the knee, usually because of twisting actions or blows to the knee tend to place stress on the ligament. Wearing the correct studs in your football boots and using shin pads are important to prevent severe injuries in the lower limbs. Call 01744 751115 to begin improving your football skills...
