Clare Farthing - stroke rehab

Why did I chose to do 1-1 Pilates?

The reason I chose 1-1 Pilates is due to the fact I suffered a severe stroke in 2009 and it left me paralysed in my left side with no movement in my left arm and limited range of movement in my left leg. Once discharged from hospital I was put in touch with a support broker who suggested Pilates as a form of exercise I could partake in. Having had an initial assessment with Mark from Mazfit he suggested that I would benefit from 1-1 sessions, so I readily agreed to take this up.
How has the training gone?
It turns out that this has been one of the most successful forms of rehab for me since my stroke. Over the last 10 months my 1-1 sessions have enabled me to regain some movement in my left arm and improved range of movements in my left leg.

Mark is extremely patient, encouraging and excellent at focusing on the needs of his client
What for the future?
I am hopeful that my arm and leg will continue to improve with Mark’s tutoring and I am excited and motivated about the future
