People come to pilates to enhance their own fitness routine and also as a rehabilitative exercise for movement problems that have arisen or been caused by poor posture, injury and pain. The Pilates taught at The Physio and Pilates Centre is based on the methods and teachings of Joseph Pilates, combined with our teachers' added experience and knowledge.

Pilates, correctly taught, is suitable for all levels of fitness and ability. Many of our clients are referred by physiotherapists, osteopaths and consultants in the area. If you are not sure of the suitability of pilates for you, please do contact Penny or Julia to discuss any queries you have.

At the Physio and Pilates Center, pilates is taught in matwork classes and on a one to one basis.
