It has taken me a long time to find a professional Pilates instructor, who can safely aid my ailing arthritic bones and posture without creating further damage. Lucy’s was very helpful in providing information beforehand. She was very welcoming and her techniques focused on every element of the human skeleton, including stretching exercises for feet and toes! Lucy is a top notch, highly qualified professional. My first lesson found me limping in yet walking out, almost pain free. The relief on my bone on bone knee, lasted for around 6 hours. I understand that I need to work at regularly maintaining the movements at home as well as in her class, so that I can continue to work towards being as pain free and active as I can be. Under Lucy’s expertise and help, I hope to be able to achieve this going forward from week-to-week. I highly recommend Lucy’s classes. If I was able to have the time to attend three per week I certainly would.

I’ve just had my first Pilates session with Lucy at St Peter’s church and felt I got so much from it. Her attention to detail with every member of the class was very reassuring and we were made to feel very welcome and included. I look forward to making this class part of my weekly routine and to improving my strength and balance which I have noticed has declined recently.

Lucy was recommended by Poole hospital physios after some minor knee ligament damage 5 years ago and I've been going ever since. Pain and agility are much improved and the classes are fun. I look forward to them every week.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Lucy Purrier Physio Pilates
Lucy Purrier Physio Pilates 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.
