Prior Physio & Pilates is my happy place. After my private weekly Pilates sessions I leave the studio feeling strong, light and calm. Anne-Marie ensures that my sessions are targeted to how I am feeling on the day. She uses her expert knowledge to listen, explain and guide me, to give me the confidence to get the best from my body and mind 🧘🏼♀️
Rediscovered the true benefits of Pilates after several years trying different classes. Anne-Marie provides excellent professional friendly personal 121 tuition and guidance with exercises tailored to individual need. Feel safe and stretched at the same time. The studio is bright, clean, calm and airy. After the first session , I felt “ unscrunched “ and lighter. Each subsequent session my flexibility has improved.Thanks Anne - Marie !
Anne-Marie is the best pilates teacher, I have been going to prior physio & pilates a while now & love how I feel after each session. It makes me feel good, lighter & get some great exercises in to move different parts of the body . I have recently had an operation, so I was restricted in what movement I could do. But Anne-marie was great she adapted my pilates session to what I could do. Thanks again, Anne-marie
Prior 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.

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.
