There are many Pilates classes available, but some classes may be too advanced, especially after recent injury or if you have a recurring problem and so it is advisable to seek advice from a physiotherapist. A modified form of Pilates has been developed by physiotherapists specifically to rehabilitate individuals after injury. One to one sessions ensure that an appropriate programme is designed for the individual to meet their needs and abilities. It is essential that the exercises are performed safely and correctly to restore normal movement and muscle control around the injured area and to prevent recurrent problems.

The physiotherapist may also use other treatment where appropriate to help your recovery. You can be confident that the Pilates exercises will do no harm and then when you are ready you can continue the exercises at home or in a class.
