Services
Physiotherapy
Our Chartered Physiotherapists provide assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, sports conditions, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Services include acupuncture, joint mobilisation, and tailored exercise programs. With HCPC registration and APPI Pilates integration, we address back pain, pelvic health, and chronic mobility issues through evidence-based interventions. Clients benefit from diagnostic referrals and multidisciplinary care coordination.
Reformer Pilates
Using spring-resisted reformer equipment, these classes enhance core strength, flexibility, and posture through controlled movements. Suitable for beginners without fresh injuries, sessions incorporate eccentric muscle contractions to build lean strength. Our physiotherapists adapt exercises for joint conditions, with options like 'Relax & Reform' for injury recovery. No prior Pilates experience required, though matwork foundation is recommended.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialist treatment using HI-EMT technology delivers 12,000 muscle contractions per session to strengthen pelvic floors. This non-invasive therapy addresses incontinence, postpartum recovery, and pelvic pain. Initial free consultations with physiotherapists determine treatment plans, with flexible session packages available. Combines technological innovation with manual therapy for urinary system and core musculature support.
Move Well Club
Physio-led group sessions focusing on strength, balance, and injury prevention. Classes include 'Game-Ready Ankles' for sports resilience and '60+ Strength & Balance' for fall prevention. Utilises evidence-based movement strategies adaptable to individual recovery needs. Combines social interaction with functional exercise to improve daily activity performance and confidence.
Scar Rehabilitation
Specialised treatment for scar-related discomfort using lymphatic drainage, manual therapy, and advanced modalities like WinBack R Shock. Physiotherapists create custom rehab plans addressing tightness, numbness, or appearance concerns post-surgery. Includes product recommendations and home exercises. Particularly beneficial for C-section, mastectomy, and orthopaedic surgery patients seeking improved tissue mobility and reduced pain.

Report
On the 4 Jan I began the online 6 week block delivered by Lizzy at North Coast Pilates & Physiotherapy. I was recommended by a physio to try Pilates for my hyper mobility syndrome. I also suffer from severe PCOS and I cannot believe the difference these 6 weeks have made. I completed one class religiously each day and for the first time ever regarding exercise I have felt excited and motivated to do the workouts. It has had a positive impact not only on my physical well-being but also on my mental well-being. With everything being online, I was nervous about beginning but Lizzy has been very welcoming
