Going to Pilates by Physiotherapy has solved my neck and back pain. The instructors are trained physiotherapists so they know what they're doing. I highly recommend it.

What you can practice at Pilates by Physiotherapy
Pilates by Physiotherapy offers 3 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical pilates combines classical pilates with physiotherapy principles. Sessions are led by chartered physiotherapists or specialist pilates instructors who design individualised programmes based on detailed postural and movement assessment.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
