In 2002 Jenny Green started using some Pilates exercises to help manage sacro-iliac pain from years of aerobics, paddling and running, that stretching and yoga had failed to relieve. Seeing immediate results from practicing Pilates Jenny wanted to share the benefits with others and Bodywise Pilates came into being.
