Physio led Pilates is Pilates taught by a Physiotherapist who has a qualification in Pilates.
This allows the exercises and movements to be tailored to a small group. For example, a lesson suitable for someone recovering from back pain or following a knee replacement.
In our day to day life we adopt postures and movement patterns that aren’t ideal. Pilates helps to restore balance and strength in normal movement pattern.
A Physiotherapist has the skills to assess a person’s limitations through movement and encourage them to target problem areas whilst promoting, strength, flexibility and balance.
