Pilates Classes in Southampton - Move Better, Feel Stronger
Strengthen, Stretch & Stabilise with Tailored Pilates Instruction
At Restored Eden Physiotherapy, we offer Pilates classes in Southampton that go beyond general fitness. Our expert-led Pilates sessions are grounded in the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute) method, widely recognised for its scientific backing and suitability for rehabilitation and performance alike.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, looking to build core strength, or want to improve posture and flexibility, our Pilates classes in Southampton are tailored to your body, goals, and experience level.
What Is APPI Pilates?
The APPI method was developed by Australian physiotherapists to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and traditional Pilates. Unlike standard gym classes, APPI Pilates is:
-
Clinically proven - Backed by research and widely used by healthcare professionals
-
-
Highly adaptable - Exercises are broken down into progressive levels for safe execution
-
Rehab-friendly - Originally developed for injury recovery, but suitable for all
-
Holistic - Integrates breathing, core control, posture, and precision
This makes it an ideal choice for those managing pain, rebuilding after injury, or simply wanting a controlled, low-impact way to exercise.
Benefits of Pilates at Restored Eden Physiotherapy
When you choose our specialist Pilates in Southampton, you’re investing in more than fitness; you’re supporting long-term health and mobility. Benefits include:
Improved Core Strength
Strengthening the deep abdominal muscles helps stabilise your spine and pelvis, forming the foundation for safe, effective movement.
Better Posture & Body Awareness
Pilates teaches alignment and movement control, which supports long-term spinal health and reduces the risk of pain and injury.
Increased Flexibility
Controlled stretching and flowing movements gently lengthen muscles, improving joint mobility and reducing stiffness.
Reduced Pain & Injury Risk
Our sessions are ideal for managing conditions such as back pain, postural imbalances, and joint instability.
Mental Focus & Relaxation
With an emphasis on breathing and concentration, Pilates offers stress relief alongside physical conditioning.
