Experience the synergy of biomechanics and mindful movement through our Clinical Pilates (Mat & Reformer) and Strength Training sessions.

Rooted in solid biomechanical principles, these sessions go far beyond traditional workouts. Our holistic approach focuses on teaching you how to move optimally, improve alignment, and develop a stronger connection between your breath, mind and body.

Train at your pace, for your goals

Our movement training sessions are designed around you: your pace, needs, and goals.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Each session is carefully tailored to the individual, taking into account personal anatomy, movement patterns, previous injuries, and any physical limitations or restrictions.

We combine traditional Pilates principles with modern movement and strength training to develop functional strength, mobility and flexibility according to what your body requires. This integrated approach supports better body control, postural alignment and overall movement quality.

Whether the aim is to enhance athletic performance, recover from injury, rebuild strength, or simply move and feel better in everyday life, each session is designed to support steady, long-term progress.

One-to-One Reformer Pilates

A private Reformer Pilates session tailored to your individual needs, goals, and level.

Following an initial assessment, each session includes carefully selected exercises, hands-on corrections, and guidance to help improve alignment, core control, and movement quality.

The Reformer machine allows us to combine classical Pilates exercises with strength and movement training.

Its adjustable resistance and versatility make exercises easier or more challenging depending on your needs, making it ideal for both rehabilitation and performance training.

We use the Reformer as a powerful tool to retrain movement patterns, build core strength, and complement your overall training, helping your body move more efficiently and effectively.

Movement & Strength Training

Learn the art of swinging and safe training with Kettlebells, Macebells, and Indian Clubs, and tap into the power of unconventional training to unlock your full potential.

Our approach extends beyond conventional training methods, incorporating innovative and unconventional techniques that push your body and mind in new ways. From functional movements and bodyweight exercises to agility drills and unique equipment, we offer a dynamic training or rehabilitation experience.

Discover how exercising with unconventional tools can significantly enhance core strength and kinetic muscle chains while improving overall strength or aiding in injury recovery.

Both Kettlebells and Macebells training can provide a low-impact workout, making it an excellent option for individuals with joint pain or injuries. Additionally, these tools can be used at home or in a gym, making them accessible to individuals with limited time or resources.

Led by an MSK and Sports Physiotherapist, this class is fully customised to your starting level and tailored to address any potential injuries or misalignments.

Blood Flow Restriction Training

At MovementHolic, we offer Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training as part of our physiotherapy, rehabilitation and performance programmes.

BFR Training involves applying a specialised cuff to a limb while performing carefully selected exercises. By partially restricting blood flow, the muscles can be challenged effectively using much lighter loads than traditional strength training. This can be particularly useful during rehabilitation when heavier loading is not yet appropriate or well tolerated.

BFR may be used to support muscle strength, muscle mass and recovery following injury or surgery, as well as within performance training. Your physiotherapist will determine the appropriate pressure, exercises and training intensity based on your individual needs.

Integrating BFR into Your Rehabilitation

BFR is not a stand-alone treatment. It is one of the tools we can integrate into your existing physiotherapy, rehabilitation or strength-training programme when appropriate.

Speak to your physiotherapist during your consultation. We can assess whether BFR is suitable and safe for you, and together plan how it can best complement your rehabilitation and training goals.
