Empower Physiotherapy & Pilates

Mel has been treating me since the birth of my second child. I started seeing her 6 weeks post partum for pelvic floor issues. Mel has been fantastic at listening to me and tailoring my treatment to my goals. I would definitely recommend seeing Mel during pregnancy and post partum. I feel so much more confident and stronger thanks to Mel.

Mel has helped me to return to full fitness safely, following a hysterectomy, with one to one physiotherapy sessions and group pilates classes. Setting me up with personalised exercises throughout my recovery, with gentle encouragement and true professionalism. I now continue with regular Pilates alongside other activities to keep the fitness at a level I am happy with. I cannot recommend Mel highly enough.

I have been seeing Mel for both physio and pilates. She has helped me to get back to running postnatally, and with a much stronger body than before. She has a realistic view of motherhood and the challenges that come with it, so will meet you where you are with understanding and a positive attitude. I highly recommend.

I’ve been working with Mel for chronic lower back pain. The initial assessment was really insightful, she was able to identify the causes and provided me with exercises that provided relief and helped to build strength straight away. I’ve done a lot of yoga and Pilates in the past but working 1 on 1 has helped bring a new level of awareness of my body and starting to undo the habits causing my pain. Mel’s great to work with, really approachable and a great motivator. I would highly recommend her!

Mel’s Pilates class is the highlight of my week. It has really helped to reduce my lower back problems and my core strength has definitely improved. The classes are friendly and fun, as well as progressive, so you can always push yourself harder if you want to. They’re suitable for all abilities, and everyone is made to feel welcome. Would highly recommend.

I have been attending Mel's in person and online Pilates classes for over four years and have never looked back. She is an excellent and extremely knowledgeable teacher; classes are well structured, targeted and varied. I have felt my fitness and strength improve hugely, therefore I find myself making consistent progress and enjoying myself along the way. Thanks to Mel I have fostered a love of Pilates which will last a lifetime.

Mel’s Pilates class is the best I have ever been to. She is such a fantastic instructor and the classes are always varied and enjoyable. I feel a genuine difference in my posture and movement when I leave the class. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to see a difference in mobility and strength.

Mel was able to see me quickly, with warmth and great care when I was diagnosed with PGP in pregnancy. I found her to be extremely knowledgable, she offered practical advice and helped me immensely. Don't hesitate to use this business.
