I absolutely loved this Pilates session with Carmela. She created such a calm, welcoming atmosphere while offering clear, thoughtful guidance throughout, she was literally guiding me through every movement making sure my posture is correct, I’m engaging my muscles properly and also im breathing well. Each sequence flowed beautifully and felt both grounding and energising. Carmela took the time to explain what each movement was for, which really deepened my understanding of the practice. She also shared personalised tips and advice to help me feel better and more comfortable at work, which I truly appreciated. I left the class feeling supported, balanced, and much more connected to my body. Highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen both body and mind.

I recently visited Carmela for help with TMJ issues, and I’m so grateful for the care and sensitivity she brought to every part of the process. From the moment I arrived, she took the time to listen, understand my symptoms, and clearly explain what was happening and how her treatment would help. Throughout the session, she guided me with reassurance and clarity, making sure I felt comfortable and informed before each adjustment. Her approach was gentle yet effective, and I quickly felt the difference - the tension eased noticeably, and the pain was significantly reduced after just one session. I’m genuinely impressed by her professionalism, expertise, and the thoughtful way she supports her patients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carmela to anyone seeking compassionate and effective osteopathic care.

Excellent Care and Results with Carmela I had the pleasure of seeing Carmela this summer for issues with my right hand palm, and neck that were significantly impacting my daily activities. After just three sessions , I experienced remarkable improvement and was able to return to my Pilates workouts, which had been impossible before treatment. What sets Carmela apart is not only her extensive knowledge and skill as an osteopath, but also her exceptional ability to create a relaxing and comfortable environment during treatment. Her calming presence and professional approach made each session feel therapeutic beyond just the physical adjustments. She has a natural way of putting you at ease, which I believe contributes significantly to the healing process. I’m grateful for Carmela’s expertise and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking osteopathic care. Her combination of technical skill and nurturing bedside manner truly makes the difference in both the treatment experience and the results achieved.

Carmela Guida Studio - Osteopathy, Pilates and Ballet in Putney SW15 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.
