Frequently asked questions

What is Applied Pilates?

Applied Pilates is a personalised approach to Pilates that focuses on how your body moves in real life. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all method, each session is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and any injuries or limitations.

It’s designed to help you move better, build strength, and feel more confident in your body — both in and outside the studio.

Do you help post-surgery recovery?

Yes — following a detailed individual assessment, we create a tailored programme to support your recovery safely and effectively.

Can I do pilates with a bad back?

Pilates can be highly effective for both recovery and prevention. Following a detailed assessment, we tailor your programme to your specific needs — supported by over 25+ years of experience.

 

Do you offer treatments?

Yes — Applied Pilates offers a range of clinical services alongside Pilates. In addition to personalised Pilates sessions, the studio provides physiotherapy and Osteolates musculoskeletal treatment to support recovery, pain management, mobility and performance improvement. Every programme is tailored to you following a detailed assessment, and these treatment options can be used on their own or in combination with your Pilates work depending on your goals.

How many people are in a class?

Our classes are intentionally small, with a maximum of 7 participants, to ensure personalised attention and high-quality instruction.

If you prefer one-to-one guidance, we also offer private sessions tailored entirely to your needs.

Are the classes suitable for beginners?

Yes — all levels are welcome. Our small class sizes and bespoke approach mean exercises are tailored to your experience, ability, and goals. Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or returning after a break, we’ll ensure you feel supported and confident in every session.

Can I attend with an exisitng injury?

Yes — many of our clients work with existing injuries. Every client begins with an individual assessment to understand your condition and its cause. From there, we tailor your sessions to support recovery, improve mobility, and strengthen your body safely.
