Clara is an excellent professional. I practice jiu-jitsu and needed a sports massage; in addition, I was dealing with back pain. Clara assessed my back and gave me advice that was important for my recovery. The massage was also spectacular. Clara is very attentive and polite. I highly recommend her!
Clara is an incredibly knowledgeable physiotherapist and such a lovely person. Since meeting her, my body awareness, mobility, posture, and core strength have improved dramatically, which has significantly enhanced my sports performance. She takes the time to truly understand her clients and always provides thoughtful regressions when certain movements aren’t possible. Every class with her feels focused, intentional, and tailored to your individual needs. What really sets Clara apart, though, is her positive energy and character. She’s attentive, friendly, and never rushes the process. Her knowledge and calm demeanour make her one of the best physiotherapists — and people — I’ve known. Thank you 🙏
Genuinely the most helpful, insightful and supportive service I have received when it comes to body improvement. I have had lower back pain/a weak lower body for 7+ years and in the 1 year of attending Clara’s Pilates classes I’ve seen numerous improvements. No matter how many people are in the class, Clara makes you feel like you are tended to and that you’re getting the most out of the hour. By looking at your posture, she knows what exercises will be most effective for your body and how to improve any problems you’re going through. From a stronger core, flexible hips and a stronger lower back, to being able to run without feeling pain, Clara’s Pilates classes have been the common denominator. So much so, I did a few sports massages with her and the service was equally as great. Highly recommended, Thanks for the caring service Clara!
CK Physio & Pilates offers 3 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
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 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 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
2 of 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal. One recent member put it this way: "Clara is very attentive and polite." — Ricardo Chanis Cidra.
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
Insurance reimbursement for clinical pilates depends on three factors: (1) the lead practitioner must be HCPC-registered as a Chartered Physiotherapist — verify by asking the studio or checking the HCPC public register, (2) your policy must include a physiotherapy benefit, and (3) most insurers (Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, WPA, Aviva) require either a GP referral or completion of their own self-refer pathway. Standard reformer or mat classes at the same studio are not reimbursable — only sessions led by a chartered physio with a clinical assessment qualify.
