Tailored Support to Guide Your Recovery
Your support doesnât have to end in the clinic room. Once youâve progressed through physiotherapy, we offer a range of services with medical professionals so you can continue supporting your recovery. Our physiotherapists will point you in the direction of the right service for you based on your body and goals.
Clinical Mat Pilates
Reconnect with your body in a safe, nurturing environment. Clinical Mat Pilates uses a combination of breathing and movement to activate the deep core and pelvic floor muscles. This can be beneficial for a range of womenâs health concerns, including improving bowel and bladder function, managing symptoms associated with prolapse and increasing pelvic floor awareness. Through controlled, low-impact exercises, youâll build strength, improve posture, and develop greater body awareness with confidence.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates incorporates spring-based resistance to strengthen the core and pelvic floor while minimising strain and downward pressure. This method is particularly effective for reducing pelvic heaviness, supporting prolapse, and addressing core weakness following pregnancy. Reformer Pilates can also help to reduce pelvic tension and, on top of everything, rebuild your confidence in movement by gradually increasing load.
Personalised Strength Training
Our clinicians deliver one-on-one training sessions that are designed specifically to improve strength and function whilst limiting exacerbating symptoms. Whether youâre managing exercise-related leakage, postnatal core weakness, or prolapse concerns, we prioritise supportive, symptom-aware movement. These sessions also help optimise bladder and bowel control, reduce muscle tension, and safely reintroduce you to physical activity.
Online Pilates Video Library
Our online Pilates video collection has been created specifically with women during and after childbirth in mind. These guided sessions are designed to take you through safe, effective exercises to improve and support core and pelvic floor recovery at your own pace. Ideal for those with less time or those who donât need in-person assistance, this flexible option allows you to access the same expert care from the comfort of your own home.
