We were super excited to attend the Aberdeen Health and wellbeing festival, last Saturday, 13th January at Aberdeen’s Beach Ballroom. What a venue!

This was the biggest year yet of this not for profit event, with over 1300 attendees and 60+ stall holders aiming to inspire, educate and motivate the people of Aberdeen to take care of their Health and Wellbeing.

Our stall was next to the mountainous Stoltman brothers, who spent the day lifting fans for photos. We’ve been asked why we didn’t invite them to have a go on the Reformer but I am not sure they would have fitted!

And what a year it’s been!

We have seen a 54% increase in Pelvic Health Physiotherapy appointments and 43% increase in Mummy MOT’s compared to last year.

We have taught over 1000 (!!!!!) Reformer Pilates classes, compared to 642 in 2023.

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?
