Philippa Bottrill
Pilates Teacher and Owner of Balance by Pilates by Philippa
I’m a clinically trained Pilates teacher (I trained in Matwork with Body Control Pilates and on Reformer with Stott and Gyrokenisis) and have been teaching Pilates full-time since 2000. I opened Balance Studio in 2014.
I’ve always worked closely with my local Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, so many of my referred clients came to me with back issues – the natural way forward was for me to specialise in Low Back Pain.
In my classes and one to one sessions, I apply my Pilates Skills, together with other very powerful techniques that I have learnt, to offer my clients a complete package. I look at the body as a whole and my clients will learn how simple but very effective measures will eliminate their simple low back pain.
