A Class Designed Around Real Life Movement
Traditional Pilates classes can be excellent for strength and flexibility, but mat-based exercises can feel daunting if you have joint stiffness, limited mobility, or balance concerns.
Physio-Led Chair Pilates is different.
Each session focuses on:
- Balance and coordination
- Lower limb and core strength
- Posture and joint mobility
- Confidence in everyday movement
Exercises are practical and designed to help with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs safely.
The class is ideal if you:
- Prefer not to exercise on the floor
- Feel less confident with balance or movement
- Are returning to activity after illness, injury, or surgery
- Experience joint stiffness or arthritis
- Want gentle but effective exercise in a supportive environment
Every session is led by an HCPC-registered physiotherapist who adapts exercises to suit each participant, so you never feel rushed or left behind.
Building Confidence and Reducing Falls Risk
Chair Pilates isn’t just exercise, it helps improve how you move in everyday life.
By developing leg strength, posture, and balance, classes help reduce falls risk and improve confidence moving at home and in the community.
Because classes are small and physiotherapist-led, technique can be monitored closely and exercises adapted safely for each person.
You leave sessions feeling stronger, steadier, and more confident, without ever needing to get on the floor.
