Who can benefit
Pilates is a fantastic system of exercise that uses the body as an integrated whole and is designed to create balance within the body, a balance between strength and stability with flexibility and fluidity.
Pilates exercises require full concentration, in order to co-ordinate the breath with the flowing effortless movements. It’s mindfulness through movement. Our Pilates students report huge benefits to not only their physical wellbeing, but their mental wellbeing also.
What to wear: Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement

Pilates at Physio Art
We have five Pilates teachers at Physio Art between them delivering a range of online and in-person classes every week. Each teacher is slightly different bringing their own personality and experiences into the classes.
We teach Pilates on a one to one basis, a one to two basis, and small groups of six. We believe in order to truly benefit from Pilates people need to be taught and closely supervised. We usually recommend that people have a couple of one to one sessions initially, and then we can slot them in to an appropriate group.
Exercises usually take place on a mat or in standing and can include the use of equipment such as therabands, foam rollers, exercise balls and magic circles.
If you are thinking of trying Pilates because you have had some pain or injury recently we usually recommend having an assessment from one of our physios first. A physiotherapy assessment can guide the Pilates teacher with regard to a targeted Pilates based exercise programme.
