“I went to Sussex Physio Pilates after the birth of my second child for a "Mummy MOT". I am so glad I went with them - Claire was fantastic!
She completely put me at ease and I felt throughout my 3 appointments I was listened to and everything was covered to give me peace of mind and see real improvement in my pelvic floor, ab separation and posture.
I am now 4 months post partum and am back running thanks to Claire's exercise plan, help and advice.
Cannot recommend Physio Pilates enough for any post partum Mums in need of getting their physical strength back or just peace of mind your body is recovering well.”
“We have just returned to Pilates after a year and we are so happy to be back. The team have pulled out all the stops to ensure that everything is safe and covid free, we feel completely at ease. The new Pilates reformer adds that extra dimension to our session with Claire, a fantastic addition.”
“I have been putting my back into Claire's capable hands for a few years now, and she has helped me to keep functioning whenever my back has been bad, and my recovery time is so much faster as a result. As well as her world-class expertise, she boosts confidence and morale with her calm and positive outlook, recognising that this can be almost as important as the physical side. She's just excellent!”
“Claire has completely changed my life in the past year. I went from being in chronic pain every single day, unable to walk to the end of the road, or lift my children or even walk up stairs on some days, as a result of changes to my body during pregnancy. I saw countless physios, osteopaths for about 18 months but nothing seemed to help long term. Then I found Sussex Physio Pilates. I had the mummy MOT, saw Claire for some 1:1 physio and Pilates sessions and since then have attended a Pilates class each week. My pain has completely gone, I am able to do all the normal physical things I was desperate to do, like take my kids to the playground, and it’s thanks to Claire. Stuart, Claire and the team are also an absolute pleasure to be around, they have a lovely gentle yet knowledgeable approach. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”
“I have been suffering with back, hip and neck problems for some time. Claire has made a huge difference to my wellbeing through Physio and Pilates. She is passionate, knowledgeable and caring and she treats you holistically in a totally professional manner. Thank you for all your help Claire.”
