Pilates
I have undertaken additional Pilates training with the APPI (The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute), and use my clinical background and specialist knowledge as a physiotherapist to enhance and modify the Pilates exercises.
As well as the classes I also offer bespoke 1:1 private sessions at the Core Rehab studio in Saltford, Bristol
What are the benefits of Pilates?

- Improved core strength
- Reduce and manage back and joint pain
- Injury prevention
- To aid rehabilitation e.g. following a stroke or post injury
- To help manage a long term condition e.g. MS or Parkinson’s Disease
- Relaxation and stress reduction
Testimonials
"I can’t recommend Kate enough, suffering with MS the 1:1 Pilates sessions have allowed me to do more and the sessions can be tailored to my needs. My core strength has improved as well as my balance, and it has helped me to reach my goals."

"Kate is a very good Physio /Pilates instructor, knowledgeable, kind and she always comes with a smile. She understands how to get the best out of people by being happy/serious at the same time. She goes through the exercises which she explains in great detail and in a clear and easy to understand manner. The positive way she points out how you can do better and pushes you to the max, is a benefit of working with her. Her methodical way of working is a positive asset, she adapts to your energy levels without you realising (at first) she’s changing the lesson plan to accommodate you. I can honestly say that I would highly recommend her to anybody"

“I thoroughly enjoy Kate’s Pilates classes and have found them to be most beneficial and fun to attend. She carefully assesses individual student’s needs and tailors the sessions to suit all the members of the class. Kate has a lovely manner and is most supportive and welcoming. She has a great knowledge of Pilates and is a very competent teacher and practitioner. She makes sure that all students are working correctly and adapts movements to individual capabilities. I’d definitely recommend her classes”

“Hi Kate, I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the two Zoom classes per week. I think it has proved a great success and your instructions and disciplines are brilliant. I feel like it is a one to one with you, I can see you clearly and I can’t see any disadvantages of following you on Zoom. I am really benefiting from your wonderful classes and have seen an improvement in my capabilities. Thank you for keeping us going through this awful time.”
