Physio Led Pilates

Combining clinical physiotherapy expertise with structured mat-based Pilates — delivering safe, precise, and purposeful movement in a professional healthcare environment.

This service is designed for people who want more than a general Pilates class. Whether you are recovering from injury, rebuilding after surgery, managing long-term pain, addressing movement or postural issues, or simply seeking a more clinically guided approach, every session is built around safety, control, and progression.

How Sessions Are Delivered

Physio-Led Pilates is available as:

• 1:1 sessions for fully individualised assessment, progression, and hands-on guidance
  

• Small group sessions (3–4 people), allowing close supervision, individual modifications, and a calm, focused class environment

Both formats are led by a physiotherapist, ensuring exercises are selected, adapted, and progressed appropriately for each individual.

Class Levels

To ensure appropriate challenge and progression, sessions are structured around Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Your physiotherapist will guide you to the most suitable level based on assessment and ongoing progress.

• Beginner
  Ideal if you are new to Pilates, returning after injury or surgery, or managing pain or stiffness. Focus is placed on foundational movement patterns, breathing, posture, and control, with close guidance and slower progressions.
• Intermediate
  Suitable for those with previous Pilates experience or a good baseline of strength and movement control. Sessions introduce increased challenge, longer sequences, and greater coordination while maintaining a strong focus on quality and safety.
• Advanced
  Designed for individuals with excellent movement control, strength, and body awareness. Sessions involve more complex exercises, higher strength demands, and sustained control, with progression guided carefully to maintain precision and injury prevention.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a physiotherapy-led assessment to understand your medical history, current symptoms, movement ability, and personal goals. This ensures Pilates is suitable for you and allows us to tailor exercises safely from the outset.

Sessions are mat-based and focus on controlled, high-quality movement rather than intensity. Exercises are adapted in real time to suit injuries, physical limitations, and varying abilities within the group.

Sessions may include:

• Core strength and trunk stability work
  

• Controlled mobility and flexibility exercises
  

• Postural awareness and movement control
  

• Breathing, coordination, and control
  

• Modifications and progressions based on individual needs
  

Unlike larger, generic classes, numbers are deliberately kept small. This allows continuous clinical oversight, individual feedback, and precise correction to support safe, effective progress.

Your Pilates programme is reviewed and progressed over time, either as a standalone service or alongside physiotherapy, sports massage, or rehabilitation programmes.

Sessions take place in our calm, professional clinic environment, allowing you to move with confidence, clarity, and clinical reassurance.

Mat-based Pilates is currently offered. Equipment-based Pilates may be introduced as the service develops.
