Since suffering on going postural back problems from my early 20’s, I’ve found pilates to help immensely in day to day pain levels and maintenance.

I’ve been attending both Pilates reformer and group sessions at Physio Pilates for nearly 4 years. I find the team to be very knowledgeable, caring and conscientious in their pilates practise, which is very important for anyone who suffers from a chronic condition. The studio is also very relaxed and there are no egos! The small classes also mean personal attention and instruction to do every exercise correctly to get maximum benefits and avoid injury, and every class syllabus is different which keeps things interesting and challenging. I’ve also found pilates instrumental in getting my strength and fitness back after having my first baby. I can’t recommend Physio Pilates enough for daily health and fitness maintenance.

Producer and Mum

I was referred to the team at Physio Pilates following a significant lower back injury which was not responding to various forms of treatment.

The extremely knowledgeable and supportive team at Physio Pilates worked with me in developing a tailor-made programme to firstly rehabilitate my injury and then to strengthen the body.

I’m pleased to say that I have been injury and pain free in the lower back for several years now and I can only put that down to the wonderful instructors combined with their support and expertise.

Peter Dudfield

The physio pilates studio is somewhat unique. You are taught body/mind maintenance by experienced Physiotherapists. They are able to combine their physiological knowledge with Pilates, applied to whatever level you wish to achieve in a studio that reinforces a quality approach. It’s a no brainer.

Richard Priest

Enjoyable, challenging and energizing at the physio pilates studio. The atmosphere is both encouraging and friendly. The hardest part of attending sessions at PhysioPilates happens when I can’t attend.”

David Bullen

Couldn’t get a better set of skills from such a wonderful team anywhere.
