Symmetry And Movement

Symmetry And Movement, located in Southend-on-Sea, is a Pilates studio and Physical Therapy Clinic founded by Samantha Palmby, a certified Pilates and Bowen therapist. Samantha believes in the harmonious combination of Pilates and Bowen therapy to enhance body balance and provide relief from pain.

Samantha recognises the visionary brilliance of both Joe Pilates and Tom Bowen, and their unique contributions to the field of holistic health and wellness. Tom Bowen's technique involves gentle manipulation of fascia and various body structures to stimulate the body's natural healing process and alleviate chronic pain and illnesses. On the other hand, Pilates is a popular exercise method suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Its slow, controlled, and flowing exercises work all muscle groups, particularly the core muscles that stabilise the spine.

Maintaining a healthy spine with its natural curves is crucial for overall well-being. Pilates helps realign the body and correct postural problems, fostering a mind-body connexion and body awareness. It is particularly beneficial for athletes and those undergoing rehabilitation, as it prevents injuries, improves sport performance, strengthens the core, and promotes correct posture.

Practising Pilates at Symmetry And Movement offers numerous benefits, including improved posture, injury prevention, core stability, strength, balance, mobility, flexibility, coordination, stamina, and energy. Exercising with Pilates helps individuals develop a strong core, correct muscle imbalances, and alleviate back pain.

Before embarking on a mat-based Pilates class, it is essential to go through the fundamentals. These include general postural alignment, specific alignment of shoulder stabilisation and neutral spinal alignment, activation of the transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles, and practising lateral thoracic breathing. These fundamentals, along with the principles of concentration, breath, centering, precision, flowing movement, and control emphasised by Joseph Pilates, make the exercises of Symmetry And Movement unique and effective.

At Symmetry And Movement, clients can expect personalised sessions led by Samantha Palmby, who combines her expertise in Pilates and Bowen therapy for a holistic approach to health and wellness. Whether you want to improve your posture, ease back pain, strengthen your core, correct muscle imbalances, or enhance your sport performance, Symmetry And Movement is the perfect place for you.
