- hands on therapies
- acupuncture
- electrotherapy
- corrective exercise
- stability exercise
- strength training
If you’re dealing with pain, injury, or ongoing niggles, we’re here to help you get back to feeling your best.
💙 Helping you move better, feel better, live better 💙
Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) often begins after a vestibular event such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis or a concussion.
Instead of fully recalibrating, the brain gets “stuck” in a state of hyper-alert, constantly over-monitoring movement and balance. This creates ongoing sensations of rocking, swaying or imbalance – even when you’re standing still.
PPPD is real, recognised and treatable. Our vestibular rehab specialist Suzie has helped countless people with this condition, to understand their symptoms, calm their fears and achieve recovery.

🌸NEW MUM RETURN TO SPORT MOT 🌸
Guidelines for new mums recommend sticking to low-impact exercise for the first 3 months postnatal. Higher-impact activities — like running, HIIT, or CrossFit — place extra load on your pelvic floor and joints and should generally wait until 3–6 months after birth (unless advised otherwise by a Women’s Health Physiotherapist).
An individualised assessment and guided rehab can help:
- Reduce the risk of pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence
- Strengthen the muscles that support your back and pelvis
- Prepare your body to safely return to sport and high-impact training
At , our specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapists offer a ‘New Mum Return to Sport MOT’ — designed for mums who are 3+ months postnatal and ready to get back to more active, higher-impact workouts.

If you’ve taken a Pilates class at Physiofit, chances are you’ve already met the wonderful Yulia — one of our dedicated instructors who’s been part of the Physiofit family for nearly a decade!
Yulia first joined us as a class member, looking for balance after long hours running her translation business. She quickly discovered her passion for Pilates — the perfect remedy for desk work and everyday stress.
After qualifying with Modern Pilates, Yulia now brings her calm energy, precise teaching style, and deep understanding of movement to every session. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her volunteering in the Horsforth community, practising yoga, or taking part in historical re-enactments (!)
Yulia is welcoming new members to her Monday 7:30 pm Pilates class!
Designed for those with some prior Pilates experience, this small-group session allows Yulia to adapt exercises and offer focused, individual feedback. It’s a great way to rebuild strength after a break, support recovery, or refine your technique in a calm, supportive environment.

❓What is Reformer Pilates?❓
Reformer Pilates is a full-body workout using a unique machine called a Reformer — designed with a sliding carriage, springs, and pulleys to add both resistance and support to traditional Pilates exercises. Invented by Joseph Pilates himself, the Reformer is the most versatile piece of his equipment and perfectly complements the mat work he created.
It might look intimidating, but the Reformer often makes exercises easier to perform — especially for beginners or those recovering from injury. Movements can be scaled from gentle and supportive to highly challenging, requiring balance, flexibility, strength, and control.
At Physiofit our
✅ Small group sizes
✅ Graded level classes
✅ Course-based format
…ensure that everyone gets the support they need — from those managing injuries or health conditions to competitive athletes striving to improve performance.
1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, often without even knowing they have it. But early detection can make all the difference.
This year, we’re supporting the Great British Bone Check. It's a quick, simple online tool that helps you assess your bone health risk in minutes. Once you understand the risks you can start to do something about it. If you're concerned you can book with one of our physios to get guidance on specific exercises and activities to decrease your risk.
