Physiotherapy Clinic based in the centre of St. Albans
Clinical Pilates:
Orchard Physio Clinic hold a variety of Clinical Pilates classes throughout the week. 1:1 Clinical Pilates is also available by appointment.
Clinical Pilates:
Clinical Pilates is an evolution of traditional Pilates developed by Physiotherapists in keeping with modern research findings.
Pilates helps to improve posture, strength and stability, balance and co-ordination and flexibility.
We run numerous classes during the week including several dedicated to over 60s.
We see many different patients in our classes with a wide range of conditions including back and neck pain, osteoporosis, arthritis and hypermobility.
Pilates exercises can be individually modified using different levels of exercise and a variety of small equipment.
With the combined approach of Physiotherapy and Pilates we offer a supportive and welcoming environment giving you confidence to exercise safely.
The benefits of our Pilates classes are:
- Run by Physiotherapists to ensure close professional monitoring of correct movements.
- Class sizes are small for easier, effective management of each individual.
- Exercises can be tailored for people who are struggling or suffering with an injury.
- Our classes are of a gentle and slower pace than those run in most gyms.
- Our Physiotherapists will guide you to find the correct level of exercise that your body should be working at.
- You do not need to be a client of Orchards to attend our Pilates, but we do ask that all clients attend a pre-class screening session before entering a class.
