I can also provide an advanced Pilates-based regime to improve your strength, flexibility and muscle tone. The addition of Gyrotonic® and other methods help you to achieve the very best results.
When you learn to move more efficiently, you enhance your athletic performance. This helps you to achieve your fitness goals and reduces any symptoms you might have.
Osteopathic Treatment is just the beginning
In my Notting Hill Studio I will use osteopathic treatment and a range of other techniques that will reduce the acute symptoms.
The initial treatment will aim to reduce pain by reducing stress to the affected tissues and bringing down inflammation. Osteopathy is a great diagnostic tool and offers manipulative techniques to resolve stubborn movement problems.
Pilates and other movement work form part of a strength and flexibility programme that is essential for tissue health and injury prevention.
Other treatments that I offer include medical acupuncture, massage, vibration training, Kinesio Taping, vibration training and instrument assisted soft tissue. Combining these techniques gives faster and better results than using a single modality in isolation. I will select the combination that works best for you.

After a serious knee injury I was unable to dance and my thigh muscle completely shut down. It didn’t respond to months of regular physio. The muscle activity only started to improve after treatment with Idris and the Gyrotonic® exercise he gave me.

Natural Moves: Pilates and Osteopathy in Notting Hill
Natural Moves studio has been providing an osteopathy and Pilates service to the Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill area for over 12 years
During this period the treatments I’ve offered have evolved, because it is important to me to keep up to date with trends in research, injury management and fitness.
One technique I’ve recently added is functional biomechanics, which is a method of analysing and working the body in a way that replicates natural movements like lunging, squatting, jumping, pulling and pushing. Traditional methods often work a muscle in isolation, whereas this treatment involves compound movements.
Diet is also extremely important for your physical health. I am also happy to advise on what kind of changes you can make to your eating habits to get the body shape you want.
An Holistic Approach in Notting Hill
At my Notting Hill studio you can be assured of an osteopathic treatment that’s tailor-made for you and brings in the latest tried and tested techniques.

Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping supports painful and inflamed tissues in the early stages of injury.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue helps break down scar tissue so muscles and ligaments can heal.

Vibration will give a kick-start to lazy muscles and can offer almost instant relief from some types of back pain.
