    • Not feeling confident going straight into Reformer Pilates classes, or struggling to nail a specific exercise in class and needing some closer attention?

    • Are you recovering from an injury and require a tailored rehabilitation program?

    • Do you have a sport-specific or fitness goal and need a more targeted program?

    • Are you concerned that your condition or life stage will make it difficult for you to participate and keep up in a larger group class?

    Book an Initial Physiotherapy Consultation with one of our Senior Physiotherapist Darlington or Guildford for a thorough assessment and to discuss your individual health, rehabilitation and fitness goals. During this session, your physiotherapist will discuss with you whether 1:1 or small group clinical exercise sessions will be best suited to your needs. These sessions will include primarily Reformer Pilates-based exercise, but depending on your individual needs, will also incorporate a variety of exercise styles in your program.
