Pilates aims to rebalance the body improving posture, strength, core stability, flexibility and balance.

Physiofit Pilates targets both mind and body with smooth flowing movements co-ordinated with efficient breathing. The progressive, functional exercises are ideal for everyone from those recovering from injury to athletes wishing to enhance performance.

Pilates has been proved to be beneficial in the prevention and rehabilitation of many injuries and conditions including back pain, neck pain and arthritis. It is used by many sports people and recommended by health professionals. The focus on correct breathing movement can also benefit those suffering from asthma or stress related conditions.

Pilates was first developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's but gained popularity as it was adopted by physiotherapists as a form of rehabilitation exercise in the 1990's. Physiofit Pilates combines these traditional Pilates movements with stability techniques used in Physiotherapy to provide a safe form of exercise accessible to all.

Joseph Pilates developed 34 moves which form the basis of mat based Pilates. Pilates also developed various forms of large equipment and here at Physiofit we offer private (1:1 or 2:1) sessions on the Reformer.

What people have said about our Pilates classes...

I also wanted to say what a fabulous teacher Emily is, I have really enjoyed my time with her over the past 4 weeks.  - Beginners Pilates class member, Oct 2023

It has been an absolute treat to discover Emily’s Physio-focussed Pilates classes. She is an excellent teacher, and is kind, caring and very understanding, with an individual focus even in a class setting. What a treat to discover her clinic just outside Stamford in a light, spacious and airy studio, with free parking right outside the door. Thank you Emily.  - Beginners/Intermediate Pilates class member, May 2023
