Natalie is a fabulous sports massage therapist with a warm and welcoming personality; I went for an upper back and neck treatment; she asked me to do a few movements to assess the problem areas before working on them very effectively. Her studio pod is cosy and comfortable. I loved the scented beeswax she uses instead of oil. After trying various other therapists in York, she is definitely the best for me!! I absolutely recommend her!
Very professional - to start with Natalie observed one-sided tensions when she asked me to do certain movements and stretches, allowing her to then focus on those areas when doing the massage. She knew exactly where the achey areas would be and released a lot of tension in this first session. The location was great as well, it was a gorgeous garden studio with lots of space, relaxing music and the oils she used felt very smooth on my skin for the rest of the day. Will be booking in for regular appointments with Natalie :)
I have been doing Pilates with Natalie for nearly three years now. I had a bad ab separation (giant babies!) when I first started but it was swiftly resolved and I have been hooked ever since. Natalie is fabulous, so welcoming and encouraging. I have my first massage booked in for a couple of days time and I cannot wait.
Fulford Pilates and Sports Massage offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
