Gentle, Effective Movement for Pain Relief, Strength and Confidence
If you’re recovering from injury, struggling with pain, or feeling nervous about joining a class, our Physio-Led 1:1 Reformer Pilates sessions in Billericay, Essex are the perfect place to start.
Led by experienced physiotherapists Anna Meggitt and Hannah Barker, these sessions combine expert rehabilitation knowledge with the precision and support of the Pilates Reformer to help you move better, feel stronger and rebuild confidence safely.
We’re also delighted to offer increased availability with our Master Reformer Instructor, Laura Cain. Laura brings many years of experience teaching both Reformer and Matwork Pilates and has completed extensive additional healthcare training, including injury rehabilitation, pre- and postnatal exercise, and specialist exercise for individuals with long-term health conditions. Her expertise ensures sessions are safe, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs.
What Is Physio-Led Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates using a specialist bed with adjustable springs and pulleys to provide resistance and support. Under the guidance of a physiotherapist, it becomes a powerful tool for rehabilitation, injury recovery and gentle strength training.
Every session is fully tailored to you: your body, your goals and your level of confidence.
Our 1:1 Reformer Pilates is ideal if you are:
- Recovering from back pain, sciatica or disc injuries
- Managing hip, knee or shoulder pain
- Rebuilding strength after surgery or injury
- Struggling with stiffness, poor posture or balance issues
- Finding group classes too advanced or not suitable due to pain or mobility problems
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first 45-minute session is a personalised assessment and introduction to the Reformer. We’ll:
✅ Assess your movement, strength and flexibility
✅ Familiarise you with the Reformer and how to use it safely
✅ Guide you through tailored exercises for your needs
✅ Create a clear plan for your recovery or ongoing sessions
You’ll leave feeling more confident, knowing exactly how the Reformer can help you move with less pain and greater control. Everyone who books a reformer 1-1 with us receives a free pair of our grippy Pilates socks (RRP £10) – essential for safety & comfort on the reformer!
