APPI is a modified form of Pilates exercises developed by physiotherapists to help with common musculoskeletal problems. 

It’s safe and beneficial if you’re living with pain, recovering from injury or going through post-operative rehabilitation. Exercises are designed to build core strength, correct postural and muscle imbalances, and help manage or improve pain in the hips, pelvis, shoulders, neck and back. 

For many clients Pilates is a natural progression, or a supplement to, physiotherapy treatment, helping people take control of their condition. Some of our clients enjoy our classes so much, Pilates has become a regular feature in their lifestyle.

Pilates can also help you maintain your usual sporting activities as you get older. It can improve both your tennis returns and golf swing, as well as helping runners and cyclists stay injury free.

Before joining a Pilates class, we’ll invite you to an individual consultation with one of our physiotherapists. This is to assess your level of ability and show you the basic principles of Pilates to ensure your safety in class.

The usual cost for this assessment is £40, which we’ll deduct from the price if you sign up to a class block.

All equipment, including mats, will be provided for you at the studio. We ask that you bring your own head support – a folded bath towel is perfect. You may also prefer to purchase resistance bands and a soft ball so you don’t need to share equipment. If you are attending a Zoom class your instructor will advise what equipment you need.  All small equipment can be purchased in the clinic. 

We recommend you wear comfortable, stretchable clothing that’s easy to move in.
