I have thirty seven years experience as a Chartered Physiotherapist and since leaving the NHS in 2021 I enjoy focusing my mind on teaching Pilates and treating patients at the studio.
Anne has successfully achieved full Matwork Certification with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute in 2013 and is offering access to this wealth of experience through a series of pilates courses directed specifically at people who have episodes of neck, back or limb pain.
Anne has undertaken extensive further training including:
Appi Pilates in Pregnancy
Appi Pilates for Runners
Appi Pilates and Neurology
APPI Pilates based exercise programme for Children and Young People
In 2016 and 2021 Anne attended the National Appi Conference
lead by Appi founder Glen Withers.
Anne has run Pilates by Physiotherapy for 12 years. It currently has 18 classes running each week with four experienced Chartered Physiotherapists.

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.
Beth Dodsworth
I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2017 and since then have spent the majority of my career working in a musluloskeletal setting at UHND.
I have participated in Pilates classes for many years and after having my children I found Pilates was the perfect way to get back into exercise and improve my overall wellbeing. I have recently completed my APPI training. I love that Pilates can be adapted to individual
goals and is suitable for all abilities. I look forward to working with everybody at Pilates by physiotherapy.
