Physiotherapy led Pilates Classes
Family life is hard especially when you need to access extra services for your child. I wanted to provide something for parents, grandparents, and care givers to help them take care of themselves, as well as getting the benefits of low impact exercise.
WHY PHYSIO LED PILATES?
Physiotherapists have an excellent knowledge of the human body particularly the musculoskeletal system. They are also experts in movement and posture. Physio led pilates are exercises designed for people who suffer from back pain, neck pain, postural problems and more. When you attend physio led pilates you don't need to be concerned about certain exercises making your back pain worse as your instructor will be able to modify exercises suited to your needs.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
LYNNE
Julie is an amazing teacher who teaches at all levels and works with individuals' abilities, always offering sound advice and guidance during her classes. I can't recommend movement and milestones pilates classes enough.
Attending weekly classes has helped me with my back issues, and what you learn in class can be continued at home to help you build on your core.
GILLIAN
So glad that I made the leap and joined this class. I was concerned as I hadn’t done anything like this for a long time. However Julie is a fabulous instructor, she explains every exercise/movement beforehand and provides a demonstration. The class is small which is great as this means Julie can check what everyone is doing and makes corrections to ensure the exercises are done safely and correctly.
MAURICE
Julie's class is ideal for a Pilates beginner like me and is pitched at just the right level fro someone unused to the techniques and needing to gain suppleness and flexibility. I'd recommend her classes especially as I'm (frequently) the only man there and I have always felt welcomed and accepted.

I have back pain and some other health problems, is it safe for me to do Pilates?You will fill out an online registration form before starting which will give you a chance to explain any back pain or other health problems you may have which might limit what you can or cannot do. Your class teacher will then be aware and be able to adjust any exercises which may not be suitable for you.
-
How big are the classes?The class will have a maximum of 12 participants. Small classes mean the instructor can come around and make sure you are doing the exercises correctly so you get the maximum benefit from them.
-
How much do classes cost?The one hour classes cost £9.50 per class usually payable in a block of 6 - 8 weeks. The 45 minute classes cost £7.50 per class again payable in a block.
-
How do I pay?You can book your place online and pay by credit card, apple pay or google pay.
-
Is there a pay as you go option?You will get the most benefit from Pilates when the exercises are done consistently, so there is no pay as you go option and classes are booked in blocks.
-
The class times don't suit me, is it ok to go straight to the online classes?Generally yes. If you have no specific health issues then absolutely go ahead! For general joint and back pain, Pilates is very safe and very beneficial. However if you have any specific back issues such as disc problems, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis or other inflammatory conditions it is best to be seen by a physiotherapist first.
