THE WHAT, WHEN AND WHO
Our Bespoke Pilates Training clients range in age from 15 to 80+. Each has a different journey… a very different goal. Some are starting pre-surgical preparations (prehab) or are in post-surgical rehab, some are managing symptoms of chronic conditions through a tailored exercise programme. There are amazing amateur athletes looking to support their sport-specific goals, busy professionals needing to be ‘fighting fit’ and physically resilient, or parents requiring some well-being and reparative time. There are bright and brilliant retirees looking to avoid injury and maintain a healthy, active, mobile lifestyle, keeping their options broad and horizons long.
” I see Danni once a week to prevent injury relapse and stay strong. She understands my body and creates perfect exercise sessions for me that challenge me physically and keep me strong, but don’t compromise me.”
Some clients take Bespoke Pilates Sessions because they simply want to stay strong, flexible, and mobile – walking their dog without feeling pain or fear of falling. They come in all shapes & sizes, have different physical challenges, limitations, or ambitions, and are beautifully unique and special.
Whatever the aim, Bespoke Pilates Training gives better control over how your body moves and reacts, helps to create a strong core which translates to improved balance and reduced risk of injuries, aids recovery, and will take you to a new level of mind/body connection.
These sessions are usually taken in a 1:1, 2:1, or 3:1 format or as a small, closed group (up to 6 people) if you would like regular bespoke sessions with like-minded friends.
“Corefitphysio has been instrumental in bringing me back to a good level of fitness and in particular strengthening my inner core which has helped with a long standing lower back issue, where nothing else did. All instructors are trained physios so they know what they are doing and you feel safe in their hands. Particular mention goes to ‘Serji’ who has carefully helped me over the past 6 months, never rushing but at the same time keeping the sessions challenging and I’m now in a much better place as a result.“

Our physio-led Bespoke Pilates Training is an excellent way to perform safe-effective, low-impact exercise to maintain your general health and well-being throughout the whole of your pregnancy and beyond.
All sessions are tailored to you and your changing body and you will only ever undertake exercises that are completely safe for you and baby, focussing on slow, regulated movement helps to deliver stress relief as well as the physical benefits of maintaining good posture, stability and strengthening core muscles.

During sessions, we aim to minimise and alleviate stresses to allow for a happy, healthy pregnancy. Through exercise, we can work with you to help alleviate back, pelvic, and coccyx pain, pelvic girdle pain and provide Birth preparation and exercise, postural, and overall wellness advice during your pregnancy.

BESPOKE PILATES TRAINING POST-NATAL
When you are ready to return to exercise (typically at 6 weeks after a natural birth and 8-12 weeks post caesarean section), our physio-led Bespoke Pilates Training (1:1, or as a closed group up to six people if you would like a regular bespoke session with friends) is a very safe and effective route to regaining your strength, stability and good posture whilst also helping to manage some of the stresses that having a new baby can inevitably bring.
A postnatal check after having your baby is recommended for all women post-birth regardless of delivery type. Before hopping into a Bespoke Pilates Training session, you will need to book a consultation with our Senior Women’s Heath Physio, who fully assesses and treats our postnatal clients, allowing them to regain optimum health following birth.
Within your session, abdominal and pelvic floor strength is assessed along with any physical issues sustained during pregnancy and birth. Together we develop a plan to return you to full strength with function restored, allowing a safe return to exercise and confidence in your body.

BESPOKE PILATES TRAINING PRE-HAB (Pre-surgery)

Our physio-led Bespoke Pilates Training sessions focus on strength, stability, and balance using low-impact exercises and controlled movement to protect your joints. In each session, we will work with you to develop a progressive programme of movements and exercises aimed at avoiding injury, decreasing pain, and preparing for your surgery. This helps to identify issues in strength, stability, range of motion, balance, and overall joint function, getting your mind and body ready for what it will be like after your surgery.
Regular sessions help to strengthen your muscles for faster recovery along with strengthening the tissues around your joints to help joint mobility return more swiftly.

BESPOKE PILATES TRAINING – REHAB
When recovering from surgery finding the right balance of rest and exercise is crucial to achieving the best possible outcomes and speeding up the process.
Our physio-led Bespoke Pilates Training sessions do not exacerbate issues but help to reduce pain, offering safe gradual strengthening that is both effective and low-impact. We will work with you to develop a progressive programme of movements and exercises using small equipment or Pilates machines to adjust resistance and gradually increase it as your recovery progresses; gentle on the joints, controlled and physio-led at every stage.

BESPOKE TRAINING – MOBILITY & STRETCH
FOR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, RELIEF & RECOVERY FOR ALL
Physio-led assisted mobility and stretching sessions are a safe and effective way of providing relief or recovery for all. If you are an exercise or sports enthusiast, working at a desk for much of the day, or simply experience uncomfortable or restrictive muscle tightness, whatever your age, regular stretching and indeed learning how to stretch safely and effectively at home will undoubtedly help you to feel better and move better.
If you are regularly experiencing muscle soreness with no obvious cause, it may be that we need to give a little thought to your posture; lengthening those tight muscles that impact the alignment and pull parts of your body out of place will serve you well and reduce the risk of developing chronic pain patterns further down the line. Your increased flexibility will help make everyday activities a great deal easier and reduce your risk of falls, and the increased range of motion will allow more freedom in your movement and reduce your risk of injury. If you are sporty, we can help you to optimise your physical performance and help you to recover more rapidly.
If you are new to us, your mobility and stretch journey starts with an in-depth assessment with a senior Physiotherapist. During this first visit, we will take a physical history, look at your movement using Pilates exercises, and assess you as providing assisted stretching. We will guide you through a small selection of safe, effective home stretching exercises specific to you and your body. Together you and your physio will agree on a goal-led plan to target your specific mobility and stretching needs and determine whether you need regular onward sessions to aid mobility or are able to self-manage with your new knowledge.
Post assessment, this Bespoke Training session for mobility and stretch can be taken before or after your Pilates or studio session, or combined with a specialist massage to maximise your relaxation and optimise stress relief. Your body will thank you.
