Sarah got me on my feet again! After an accident resulting in multiple back and pelvic fractures she met me where I was at, building strength when I wasn’t even mobile. She knew what to do at each stage - she has great knowledge and expertise. She’s patient, positive and supportive and really motivated me to keep going and improve with constructive achievable plans each week. I am so grateful for her. She is a fantastic physiotherapist.
Satah is hands down the best physio. I have seen her for both lower back and shoulder injuries. She is calm, caring, and extremely professional — the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease. When needed for my back, Sarah did not hesitate to refer me on to my GP, making sure I got exactly the right care. The Pilates classes are fun, friendly, and full of good energy. Sarah is a great instructor and you definitely leave feeling stronger! I cannot recommend Vivara Physio highly enough - if you need some help, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I can highly recommend Sarah. I’m a keen runner and was having problems with my pelvis. Sarah carried out a very thorough assessment and was empathetic throughout. She is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent understanding of biomechanics when running. She gave me exercises to strengthen the muscles around my right hip, which were weaker, and advised me to take a short break from running, which was definitely what I needed. I was back running within about six weeks and have continued with the exercises since.
Vivara Physiotherapy 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.
one of the 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: "She is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent understanding of biomechanics when running." — Holly Wilkinson.
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.
