Pilates
At Physio South East, we run small Pilates classes, held at venues local to you and taught by Chartered Physiotherapists so you're in safe hands.
Taught by Chartered Physiotherapists, Clinical Pilates exercises have numerous benefits readily acknowledged by healthcare professionals. Ideal for young and old, Clinical Pilates exercises will help with specific medical conditions as well as general fitness.
Pilates is a mind-body conditioning exercise programme that targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall central core stability and posture.
Bringing together the best techniques from traditional Pilates and physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates is a special form of modified Pilates which is approved by health professionals as safe and effective.
Our classes are taught by Chartered Physiotherapists who have an advanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology. See our class timetable here.
