Rehab Pilates Classes in London and Online

Rehab Pilates Classes in London

At Complete Pilates we offer physiotherapy-led rehab Pilates classes for those affected by injury and pain. We deliver a completely individualised and tailored approach to help you progress your rehabilitation in a safe and supported environment.

Our rehab Pilates classes are suitable for those with acute or chronic pain, sports injuries, neck or back pain, those awaiting surgery or those who have recently had surgery and people with muscular or neuromuscular conditions.

We always begin your journey with a review of your medical and injury history, your current activity and exercise routine, your goals and of course, a movement assessment.

Our team of Physiotherapists and Clinical Pilates Instructors are experts at creating a Pilates rehab programme appropriate for you and your presenting condition, and progressing you forward towards your goals. Many of our instructors have areas of speciality such as sports injuries, spinal care, pre- and post-natal care and women’s health, cancer rehabilitation and hypermobility. We will make sure you’re set up with the instructor that is right for you.

We are part of the wider Complete Physio and Pilates clinic. This means, if you need further assessment, advanced care such as imaging and injections or specialised services such as women’s health, hand therapy, podiatry or clinical massage, we can refer you to those services within our clinic. We also work closely with some of London’s leading consultant and surgical groups, such as the Fortius Clinic. So, if we feel you need to be referred for specialist assessment and advice, we can refer you on. If you have been referred by a consultant or another health clinician, we will endeavour to work alongside them to ensure you’re receiving a holistic approach and seamless care.

What is Rehab Pilates?

Rehab pilates combines rehabilitation principles with reformer Pilates.

At Complete Pilates we offer one to one rehab Pilates in our fully equipped studios as well as online. All of our classes are taken by a Physiotherapist or clinical Pilates instructor. We will assess your movement and biomechanics and design a programme that targets your specific areas of improvement. This could include strength, mobility, coordination, balance and stability. Your programme will also be tailored to your goals, which means as you progress, you’ll start to move more in ways that you need. This might include plyometrics for jumping and running, agility for sports like tennis and football, mobility specific to movements like golf, or postural endurance for sitting at a desk all day.

All of our studios are equipped with the latest Balanced Body Pilates equipment. Reformers and other large Pilates equipment can be used for a huge variety of exercises and rehab needs. Their design means that they can be used to provide support and assistance for those who need to reduce load or weight bearing, but can also be used to provide a challenge to strength, stability, control and endurance. This means reformer rehab classes are suitable for all ages and activity levels, and you can progress from the early stages of rehab all the way through to returning to sport or activity.

The equipment you’ll find in all of our studios includes:

• Allegro 2 Reformers and Towers
• Cadillacs / Trapeze Tables
• Wunda Chairs / Split Pedal Chairs
• Ladder Barrels
• Spine Correctors
• Oovs
• Props such as balls, resistance bands, magic circles and weights

Why should you come to a Rehab Pilates class?

Rehab pilates classes provide the opportunity to work on your strength, mobility, stability, coordination and biomechanics. Your rehab Pilates instructor will ensure the exercises are suitable for addressing your current symptoms, the cause of your symptoms and future-proofing your body against further injury or pain.

Rehab Pilates classes are suitable if you:

• Have a current injury
• Experience chronic pain
• Have had recent surgery or are soon to have surgery
• Experience neck or back pain and/or stiffness
• Want to improve your sporting performance
• Struggle to do the things in your day you would usually do
• Have tried classes and haven’t improved
• Have medical conditions or illnesses which make exercise more difficult
• Want individualised attention with a bespoke programme

What our clients say

“I attend Complete Pilates to help with my lower back injury, hip impingement, shoulder instability and general body posture, mobility and strength. Since I have been working with the Complete Pilates team in person and occasionally online, my back pain is gone, my hip mobility has increased, my posture has improved and I feel comfortable, confident and free walking, standing, hiking, dancing and going about daily activities that used to bring much discomfort.

The instructors are always present and attentive. They provide small modifications and adjustments in exercises that make a huge difference. The exercise programs are bespoke to my body – I don’t feel like I’m being put through a mechanical process which is the experience I’ve had elsewhere – the instructors ask, listen and modify to suit. There is continuity between instructors over time – notes are taken from sessions and handed between instructors to ensure that no knowledge is lost, making for a seamless experience.’’
