Physiotherapy classes at Parkside Hospital

Pilates classes

There is more to Pilates than developing “strong abs” or “core strength”.

Pilates is an exercise system that focuses on stretching and strengthening the whole body to improve balance, muscle strength, flexibility and posture.

We run classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced Pilates clients.

Each Pilates course runs for 6 consecutive weeks. Clients must book in for an assessment with a Pilates trained physiotherapist to ensure appropriateness for the class and prevent injury prior to attending any Pilates class. The assessment price is £52.

Clients will also be provided with advice about other ways to maintain and improve bone health.
