Pilates
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on core strength, posture, flexibility, and controlled movement.
What is Pilates?
At Physio Matters, we offer APPI-trained Pilates — a clinically adapted form of Pilates developed by physiotherapists specifically for rehabilitation. The APPI Method modifies traditional Pilates exercises to suit individuals recovering from injury, managing long-term conditions, or seeking to improve movement and body awareness safely and effectively.
Pilates may be recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Muscle weakness or imbalance
- Poor posture or spinal alignment
- Chronic pain or stiffness
- Neurological conditions affecting movement and coordination
- Post-surgical recovery or injury rehabilitation
- Stress, fatigue, or reduced body awareness
It is suitable for a wide range of clients, from those with neurological conditions to athletes and older adults seeking improved mobility and function.
At Physio Matters, our Pilates Programme is delivered by APPI-trained physiotherapists and includes:
- 1:1 Pilates sessions – tailored to your specific rehabilitation goals, ideal for complex or individualised needs
- Small group classes – with a maximum of 3 participants, offering a supportive and social environment while maintaining close supervision
- Graded exercise progression – using the APPI 5-stage model to safely build strength, control, and confidence
- Focus on functional movement – helping you move better in everyday life
Pilates supports recovery by improving core stability, correcting muscle imbalances, enhancing flexibility, and promoting mindful movement. It’s also effective in preventing re-injury and managing long-term conditions.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a neurological condition, or simply want to move better and feel stronger, our Pilates sessions can help. Contact us to book a 1:1 assessment or join a group class.
