If you’ve been scrolling through social media recently, you’ve probably noticed that everyone seems to be talking about Pilates. From celebrities to athletes and everyday gym-goers, it’s become one of the most popular ways to exercise.
But Pilates isn’t just another fitness trend.
When it’s taught correctly, Pilates is a fantastic way to improve strength, movement, balance, and confidence. Better still, it can be adapted for people of all ages and abilities.
At PhT Therapy, we offer mat-based Pilates that is led by healthcare professionals, making it suitable whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pain, or simply looking to move better.
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on controlled movement rather than rushing through repetitions.
The aim is to improve:
Rather than working one muscle at a time, Pilates encourages your whole body to work together, helping you move more efficiently in everyday life.
You’ve probably heard people talking about reformer Pilates, but what many people don’t realise is that mat-based Pilates is just as effective when taught correctly.
At PhT Therapy, we specialise in mat-based Pilates because it’s versatile, evidence-based, and can be tailored to each individual without needing expensive equipment.
One of the best things about Pilates is that almost anyone can benefit from it.
It is commonly used alongside physiotherapy for:
It’s also an excellent option for anyone wanting to improve their overall movement and build confidence with exercise.
At PhT Therapy, our Pilates sessions aren’t about trying to perform complicated movements or keeping up with everyone else.
They’re about moving well.
Our PhT Manager, Sabrina, is a certified Pilates instructor, bringing together her physiotherapy knowledge and Pilates expertise to create sessions that are safe, enjoyable, and suitable for a wide range of abilities.
Whether you’re new to Pilates or have been practising for years, sessions can be adapted to suit your needs.
We know everyone prefers to exercise differently, which is why we offer a range of Pilates options.
Our services include:
If you’re unsure which session is right for you, we’d be happy to help you choose.
Like any form of exercise, Pilates works best when it’s performed with good technique.
Moving too quickly or using the wrong muscles can reduce its benefits and sometimes make existing problems worse.
That’s why learning from trained professionals makes such a difference.
Our physiotherapy background allows us to modify exercises where needed and ensure you’re working at a level that’s appropriate for your body and your goals.
Pilates and physiotherapy work brilliantly together.
Following an assessment, your physiotherapist can identify areas of weakness, stiffness, or poor movement control that may be contributing to pain or injury.
Pilates can then become part of your rehabilitation programme, helping you build strength, improve posture, and move with greater confidence.
Every person is different, which is why we tailor sessions to suit you rather than expecting everyone to do exactly the same exercises.
Whether you’re looking to manage an injury, improve your balance, strengthen your core, or simply enjoy moving more, Pilates could be a great place to start.
At PhT Therapy, we’re proud to offer welcoming, physiotherapist-led mat-based Pilates sessions for individuals and groups, including seated Pilates for those who need a gentler approach.
