What is pilates?

If you’re looking for an exercise programme that improves your body awareness, posture and balance whilst toning and streamlining, then Pilates is for you…

It is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness as the exercises performed can be easily modified to add challenge or assistance to your workout.

There are a range of mat courses and studio classes available depending upon your exercise or rehabilitation needs.

If you are unsure which class would be most beneficial for you, please call or email us and we can discuss this with you, without obligation.

Both the mat classes and studio classes are led by Theresa Bell who is an experienced Chartered Physiotherapist and Pilates practitioner.

Our mat classes are held at the Knighton Parish centre whilst our studio classes are held in the clinic.

Pilates-based exercises solved my problem

I have been coming to BodyWorks for about 15 years, ever since I first went to Theresa with a painful shoulder. Pilates-based exercises solved my problem, and so after that I started attending Pilates tuition, first in the studio, then at classes and finally, starting in the pandemic, online. I wouldn't be without this discipline now. When I developed arthritis in my hip, regular visits to...

Sports Massage

I attended my appointment with Joe Lunn who welcomed me to a delightful and state of the art clinic. I was so impressed with such clean premises for my visit of my sports massage treatment. At first, I was a bit apprehensive as I had no expectations of a sports massage and wasn't sure if I was applicable for one due to me not being a 'sporty person'. Also, my friends had brought me this gift...

Interactive Online Sessions

I recently had an online initial physiotherapy assessment with Theresa Bell for a shoulder problem. I was a little unsure beforehand how beneficial this would be, having previously attended physiotherapy at Bodyworks in person. However. as the session is conducted via video, Theresa was able to analyse and identify the cause of the problem by talking me through and observing me perform a range...

Online Physiotherapy

Having sustained a running injury just before lockdown it has been so helpful to access the Body Works Physiotherapy services online.

Using straightforward video technology Theresa was able to see and diagnose the problem, demonstrate relevant therapeutic exercises and answer...

Back Problems During Lockdown

Having previously had physio sessions with Theresa at Bodyworks it was the obvious place to go for advice with a back problem during lockdown. I was given an appointment the same day I rang and sent an email with a link. It was very easy to access. Talking by video link was strange but I could see and hear well with no technology problems. I had a consultation and was guided through some tests...
