Pilates

Pilates @ the clinic

Pilates is taught at the Courtyard Clinic using the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) method. This is a form of dynamic stabilisation retraining that improves posture and movement patterns from the central core. This type of Pilates is designed especially for people who have had back pain or injuries or require specialist physiotherapy attention.

 Our instructors, Jo Turner, Jo Beeston, and Nicky Travlos are all qualified physiotherapists and fully certified APPI instructors. Jo Turner is a presenter for the APPI training other physiotherapists to become Pilates instructors.

 Classes take place in the new Therapy Workshop. We offer beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes. The majority of these are mat based classes incorporating small equipment such as the swiss ball, theraband, ova ball and magic circle. We also offer power Pilates and ante and post-natal classes.

 Individual or small group classes are also available.

 Matwork classes require an initial screening session and must be booked and paid for term by term. Power Pilates classes may be attended on a drop-in basis but you must have previously attended matwork classes and achieved a sufficient level of proficiency with the Pilates method.

If you are looking to attend Pilates at the Clinic for the first time, your details will be added to our waiting list. Once there is a place available you will be contacted by one of the instructors to arrange for you to have an assessment before your first class.  Assessments are 1 hour long and require a separate appointment with one of the instructors at a fee of £25.00.  During the assessment the instructor, a qualified physiotherapist, will go over any musculoskeletal issues you might have, do a physical assessment, teach you how to engage your “core” and go over the basic exercises of the class – so you will be prepared for your first session.
