Physio-Led Pilates Classes
Our Physio-Led Pilates classes are designed to help you improve strength, control, mobility and confidence with movement in a safe and supportive environment.
As the classes are led by qualified physiotherapists you know you’re in good hands!
Each 45-minute class is led by an HCPC-registered physiotherapist with additional Pilates training, so exercises can be adapted to suit your individual needs, previous injuries and current level of ability.
Before joining a class, every participant has a one-hour, one-to-one assessment with the physiotherapist who runs the classes. This gives us the opportunity to review your health and medical history, assess your movement, strength, control and balance, and identify any exercises that may need to be modified. Your physiotherapist will then recommend the class that is most appropriate for you.
If the class is not right for you, then we can book 1 hour 1:1 sessions with our physiotherapist.
Classes are booked as a course of sessions (10-12), helping you build confidence and progress over time in a consistent group.
Please bring your own exercise mat. We provide any additional equipment needed, such as Pilates blocks, resistance bands and small balls.
Classes will initially be run at Stapleford Pavillion on Friday mornings.
