Why choose Physio Led Pilates?
If you are looking for a pilates class to help you recover from an injury/ operation or generally just want to do some exercise which is supervised and controlled ensuring you achieve the best result, enhance functional levels, and minimise the likelihood of injury then these classes are for you!
Our class participant numbers are deliberately limited, and classes designed to allow 1:1 interaction and supervision; and Naomi’s 12+ years of experience gives a reassurance that you are being taught by a professional with years of physiotherapy and medical knowledge.
In our classes we often use modifications (graded levels of exercise) to ensure you are using the right muscles and working at the level that is right for you, with design upon progression as and when you are able. This allows for continued support/ guidance as you develop.

Before attending classes
An in depth 1:1 Specialist APPI Trained Physiotherapy/ Pilates assessment session is conducted prior to the classes and from this we provide a bespoke personalised electronic exercise programme; incorporating the principles of APPI Physiotherapy-led Pilates into strengthening and stretching for home use.
The 1:1 assessment is imperative for me to prepare you for the classes and teach the basic APPI Pilates Principles; which are the foundations upon which the classes are built. This enables enhanced understanding of the interaction between physical and psychological elements and improves functional benefits which you will see in everyday activity as well as sport/work. The session enables us to establish your personal baseline movements and strength so that we can tailor each session to your individual levels and enable us together to achieve the best outcome for you.
Naomi’s background
Personally, I am constantly amazed at the results from doing pilates, incorporating it into my weekly exercise routine; as well as both antenatally and postnatally, helping me recover from having twins, and continually having a positive impact on my working day as well as my running which I love to do! It is also very rewarding to see the encouraging results for all my patients and clients. I enjoyed all aspects of the training and love teaching the classes. I thrive on continuing my learning with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI). The APPI is firmly established as the leading force in the delivery of safe and effective Pilates teaching training for Physiotherapists. Established in 1999, the APPI is the only European based Pilates institute founded and directed by fully qualified Physiotherapists.
The eight main Pilates principles were extracted by Joseph Pilates’ original work. These principles are incorporated into our classes:
- Concentration
- Control
- Centering
- Precision
- Breathing
- Flow
- Integrated isolation
- Routine
