I qualified in 1997 and have gained lots of experience working in the NHS and the private sector. Majority of my working time has been in musculoskeletal. I gained a Post-graduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine in 2020 and have completed all 3 stages of the APPI Matwork series.
I have been teaching pilates over the past year and really enjoy seeing the improvement that people make. I look forward to helping people on their pilates journey, and hopefully you will feel the many benefits of pilates that I have found.
Rachel Smith
I have 15 years experience as a Physiotherapist working with musculoskeletal conditions.
I have recently taken up the position of Specialist Physiotherapist in Musculo Skeletal Disorders.
In 2011 I completed my masters in Advanced Clinical Practice which focused on exercise therapy for treating back pain.
I have been doing Pilates for a number of years and personally noticed great benefits, particularly during and after pregnancies.
I completed my APPI training in 2015 and have really enjoyed teaching Pilates since then.
It's great to see people enjoying something that has such positive physical benefits.
