Emily is a fantastic instructor, having the physiotherapy back ground her knowledge of conditions is good and she is able to apply this to pilates. She is happy to answer questions and advise on personalised adaptions and will suppoet during class. She always gives options for levels of difficulty but will never push you harder than your pace. It's a lovely welcoming group if your been exercising for a long time or just starting I can highly recommend her.
I have sacroiliac joint disorder and had been going to the gym for a year and had a personalised programme to ease it - but it only helped marginally. Then I found Emily's pilates on a FB group and within 4 weeks my SIJ pain had all but gone and I was finally able to sleep all the way though at night! That was a right treat after 3 years of waking in pain up to 8 times a night! I feel so much more stable in my core day to day. Highly recommended.
I'm struggling with my mobility since knee replacement and have lower back pain. Emily supports me and guides me through the exercises. She makes me feel comfortable and always checks that we do the exercises properly. There are different levels so you can do what you are capable of.
Revive 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 clinical, physio or rehabilitation contexts — back pain recovery, post-surgery return-to-movement, and chronic condition management appear as recurring themes. If you're seeking pilates as part of a rehab pathway, this is a meaningful positive signal. Confirm directly with the studio whether the lead practitioner is HCPC-registered (Chartered Physiotherapist) before booking, since insurance reimbursement specifically requires this credential. One recent member put it this way: "Emily is a fantastic instructor, having the physiotherapy back ground her knowledge of conditions is good and she is able to apply this to pilates." — Georgina Larke.
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.
