Pilates Classes

This is a gentle exercise programme taught by a trained APPI Pilates Physiotherapist to help to improve the postural (core) strength and flexibility of the spine.  The exercises should not add to your pain or give you new pain when done correctly. Many of the exercises are performed on Pilates mats on the floor so you need to be able to get on and off the floor.  The classes have a maximum of seven people so the physiotherapist is able to adjust and correct your exercise as needed.

Private Pilates Classes 3.30pm Thursdays, Poole Hospital Neuro Gym, Therapy Services, Poole Hospital.

These can be booked after a physiotherapy assessment or attending the NHS beginners classes. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to enquire about availability and booking.

The classes normally run in six week blocks and cost £48 payable in advance.
