Recovery and rehabilitation with small group Pilates sessions
The benefits of small group Pilates sessions are significant whether you are preparing your body for improved physical performance or recovering from injury or surgery. With small group sizes, you can receive more individual attention giving your instructor the opportunity to focus on specific problems and offer greater assistance with alignment and correct positioning.
Our instructors are not only trained Pilates instructors but also degree level sports therapists and osteopaths who can use their additional training and knowledge to create the best possible training for your body’s unique needs and requirements.
Who is Pilates for?
Pilates can benefit a wide range of different people: whether you’re looking to benefit from the increased core strength and stability to use in your sports practice, or to help aid injury recovery. There are exercises for all levels of ability from complete beginners to advanced. It is an excellent form of safe rehabilitation from injury, surgery or as an exercise workout on it’s own. All of the Pilates equipment is extremely adaptable to suit all levels. If anyone has any doubts about their ability to do Pilates they should contact their GP. All patients are screened on their initial session to ensure Pilates is safe for them. Expert advice may be required from the consultant or GP.

What our patients say...
Gemma is brilliant! Very knowledgeable, advises on strengthening exercises and really feel much better after my appointment. See her regularly for a historic neck/shoulder problem and would definitely recommend her.
Samantha
Having just started to try and get fit - this resulted in some injuries to calves, to hip-flexes, and not insignificant discomfort. Gemma was excellent in identifying the issues, and treating the problems. A friendly, personal touch combined with excellent treatment.
