Assessment
A detailed history, then a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened, and exactly what we are going to do about it.
Clinical Pilates & Conditioning
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates in Liverpool Street, London: physiotherapy-informed sessions with Janie that build core strength, posture, flexibility, balance, and control to bridge hands-on rehabilitation and ongoing conditioning, so you stay strong and pain-free long after structured treatment ends.
At your first appointment we look for the cause, not just the sore spot: your history, how you move, and what your work, sport and life ask of your body.
Your first visit is a full musculoskeletal assessment: a detailed history, then testing of movement, strength and the affected area. We explain the working diagnosis in plain English and agree a plan with you before any treatment begins.
You leave with a written summary of what we found and a home exercise programme built around your diagnosis and your goals, so progress keeps going between visits.
Clinical Pilates can help to:
Build core strength and control
Sessions focus on deep core control, spinal and pelvic stability, posture, flexibility, and balance. Getting these foundations right is what makes later, harder work safe and effective, particularly for backs, post-operative recovery, and long-standing pain.
Bridge rehabilitation and long-term conditioning
Clinical Pilates is the natural next step once acute symptoms settle. It is a structured way to rebuild capacity so the progress you made in hands-on treatment is maintained rather than lost, and many clients continue it as ongoing conditioning.
Manage and reduce back pain
Staying active and building core strength is the management NICE and the NHS recommend for low back pain, rather than rest. Rebuilding spinal stability and movement control helps settle symptoms and lowers the risk of the next flare, best started once an acute episode has calmed.
Work from your own assessment, not a set class
Janie tailors every exercise to your diagnosis, movement patterns, and goals, working from your physiotherapist's findings or a movement screen. For anyone recovering from injury, surgery, or persistent pain, that individual approach is safer and more targeted than a general studio routine.
Keep moving well after injury or surgery
Graded, supervised movement helps you return to strength, posture, and balance and maintain long-term spinal mobility. Where a flare-up needs hands-on assessment, Janie can refer you back to physiotherapy, so your conditioning and your clinical care stay joined up.
I saw Amanda for a problem I've been having with a painful shoulder. She explained to me what the problem was, did a thorough treatment session and gave me some exercises to do to improve it. Very professional and friendly, I highly recommend her.

I booked with Michelle for my first appointment. When I stood up I said to her it feels like heaven as my continuous back pain had totally gone. I was totally pain free for 7 hours so bless you Michelle.

I first visited Amanda following a maisonneuve fracture. That day I walked 107 steps in a camboot with two crutches. I have visited weekly. Yesterday I walked 13,315 steps (no crutches, no boot). The transformation is truly amazing.

After my son's sports injury we spent many months trying to get help from various other doctors. It was so reassuring to finally speak with someone who really understood what was going on. Michelle was worth every penny!

Michelle was absolutely amazing during my pregnancy with the multiple issues I had. She diagnosed and treated pain in my knee and my back, and got me from a place where I couldn't kneel at all, to fully weight bearing in a short space of time.

Your journey
with The Physio Rooms
It starts with finding the cause. Whether you are a City professional stuck at a desk or a weekend athlete chasing a comeback, we treat what is driving the problem, then build the strength that keeps it fixed.
Hands-on treatment
Manual therapy chosen for your presentation, with Western medical acupuncture added where it helps. Treatment is not the goal in itself: it creates the window to move more freely and load the tissue.
Rebuild
Progressive, coached exercise rehabilitation restores the strength and load tolerance you lost. Both clinics have full gym facilities, and this is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Stay well
Each follow-up reassesses you against your baseline. We discharge you when you have the strength and the tools to manage on your own, with clinical Pilates and TPI golf screening on hand to keep you moving.
Back to the work, sport and life you love. We settle the pain, get to what is driving it, then rebuild the strength that keeps it away, so you leave each visit a step stronger than the last.

FAQ
FAQs
How is clinical Pilates different from a regular Pilates class?
Clinical Pilates is physiotherapy-informed and individualised. Janie works from your clinical assessment and tailors every exercise to your diagnosis, movement patterns, and goals. A general studio class follows a set routine for a mixed group. For people recovering from injury, surgery, or long-standing pain, the clinical approach is safer and more targeted.
Do I need a physiotherapy assessment before starting clinical Pilates?
Not always. If you are continuing from physiotherapy at our clinics, Janie works directly from your physio's findings. New clients begin with a movement screen so the programme suits your body. If you have a recent injury, surgery, or undiagnosed pain, we may recommend a physiotherapy assessment first to ensure Pilates is appropriate.
Can clinical Pilates help with back pain?
Yes. Active rehabilitation, including Pilates-based exercise, is part of the management NICE and the NHS recommend for low back pain: staying active and building core strength rather than resting. Clinical Pilates rebuilds spinal stability and movement control. It is best started once acute symptoms have settled, and your physiotherapist can advise on timing.
Is clinical Pilates suitable during pregnancy?
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the stage of pregnancy and your individual circumstances. Some stages and conditions require adapted exercises or GP clearance first. Tell us you are pregnant when booking so Janie can assess suitability, adapt the programme appropriately, and work safely alongside your maternity care team.
Where are clinical Pilates sessions held?
At both of our clinics. Our London site is at 280 Bishopsgate, EC2M 4RB: inside UNTIL Liverpool Street, and our Essex site is at 7 Wooldridge Place, Wickham Bishops, CM8 3LW. Sessions are booked online through Cliniko, with no GP referral needed. Mention any current injury or condition when you book.
