We are delighted to welcome Physiotherapist Ailsa Cairns to our team offering 1:1 Mat Pilates sessions from our Physiotherapy clinic in Cults.

Why Physio Led Pilates?

Pilates was originally created by Josef Pilates in the first world war as a form of Rehabilitation in a Prisoner of War hospital.

Following the success of our first Pelvic floor, Pilates & Menopause Yoga workshop in March, we’re back with another!

What is this all about?

Join MSK & Pelvic Health Specialist Physiotherapist Laura Patterson and Yoga instructor Ali Wiseman for:

• Pelvic floor pilates session

• Q&A with Pelvic floor Specialist Physiotherapist

• Sharing circle

• Nourishing Menopause yoga session

• Plant based lunch

Our Reformer Pilates classes remain popular as ever, with 24 classes every week at all levels from Beginners Reformer through to more challenging Level 3. We also love our Pregnancy and Postnatal Reformer Pilates classes.

To keep up with demand, we are delighted to welcome Ashley Garden to our Pilates instructing team. Ashley will be teaching on Thursday’s and some Saturdays.

Following on from our last blog, now seems like a great time to introduce you to our Mummy MOT team.

PHYSIOTHERAPIST LAURA PATTERSON

Laura has been carrying out Mummy MOT’s since 2020. Laura also has qualifications in pelvic floor muscle assessment and musculoskeletal conditions of pregnancy/postnatal training but felt that the Mummy MOT was the icing on the cake in the provision of postnatal care.

Provided by three of the ReformPhysio & Pilates Physiotherapists, The Mummy MOT is one of our core services in our Aberdeen Clinic. All of us have had our own children and our own journey’s through postnatal recovery and these experiences were some of the biggest drivers for the team to train as Mummy MOT practitioners.  

New Level 1 Reformer Pilates Beginners Classes in Aberdeen. 

It’s no secret that at ReformPhysio & Pilates we love the Reformers and want to be able to share its benefits with as many of you as possible and are making some big changes to how we run our Beginner’s sessions … which we think you will love!

The Level 1 Beginners class is where your Reformer Pilates journey begins, whether you are a total newbie, a returning Reformer, recovering from an injury (GP and physio-approved for exercise of course) or just want to try it out after years of matwork Pilates.

July is here and school’s out for the 2022/23 school year, marking the start of the long-awaited summer holidays. Are any of you jetting off to exciting destinations? Or prepping for the Scotland road trip and staycation day trips?  As for me and the family, we’re packing for an upcoming trip to the Black Isle, which begins early July.

We are delighted to be able to offer a wide variety of Reformer Pilates classes throughout the 6 weeks of summer holidays, starting the week of 10th July. Check out the gallery below to see the full timetable.

We are so excited to be running our first Pelvic floor, Pilates and Menopause Yoga workshop in collaboration with Alison Wiseman of Wise little yogi. Alison is a Menopause yoga specialist and already runs classes and retreats throughout Aberdeen and shire.

We are starting the New Year with a new Physiotherapy service. Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Heather Scott has been looking to expand her knowledge on the menopause for a while now, as we see so many of our patients impacted by it. This led her to undertake post graduate training with Menopause movement and she is now able to offer The Menopause MOT.
