I had a really positive experience with Matthew for physiotherapy on my shoulder. From the very first session, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to my concerns. Matthew took the time to understand the problem properly and explained everything clearly, which made me feel confident that I was in good hands. His treatment was tailored to my needs, and he was patient throughout the process. I noticed a significant improvement in my shoulder mobility and discomfort as the sessions progressed. What really stood out was Matthew's professionalism, friendly manner, and commitment to helping me recover properly. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for an excellent physiotherapist, particularly for shoulder problems.

Iv been coming to see Jezzie for a few weeks now and Im thoroughly impressed with the improvements Iv seen in myself. I initially lost all hope in ever having full recovery but her knowledge and push has restored my faith. She has carried out various treatments on me all have which contributed in the range and movement I now have in my leg and shoulder. She utilises each session to the fullest (various treatments and exercises) which is something that stands out for me. The clinic is also very clean and welcoming. I really am pleased I chose achieve health and mostly have Jezzie as my physiotherapist

I come to this practice with very bad pain from both sides of my legs and sciatica. After couple of weeks treatment which received from Cameron Fernandez. I am completely changed man. I still have pain of sciatica but I am hopeful it disappear very soon. Cameron is a fantastic guy, and I am sure I will find solutions for my sciatica. Once again thanks a lot Cameron.

I can’t recommend Jezzie highly enough. Within about five minutes of assessing me, she’d pinpointed exactly what was wrong, identified the true source of the pain (which I hadn’t even been able to find myself), located all the pressure points, and explained everything in a way that made complete sense. Most importantly, she put together a realistic treatment plan that I actually felt I could stick to. Yes, I had to stop running for a couple of weeks, but she gave me targeted strengthening exercises and practical advice on managing the pain while I recovered. Less than two months later, I’ve gone from not being able to sit comfortably for more than 30 minutes to being back doing leg and glute strengthening exercises and gradually returning to running with a structured, guided plan. What really impressed me was that Jezzie looked beyond the injury itself. She assessed my running gait and realised my trainers also needed attention. Today, she had me running my fastest kilometres in over a year—and I’m still not even fully recovered! If you’ve got a niggle, don’t ignore it. These guys genuinely know what they’re doing. I’m naturally quite sceptical, so it takes a lot to impress me, but I have been completely blown away by the care, expertise and results. Thank you, Jezzie!

Alex and Cameron have been instrumental in my ACL/meniscus surgery recovery over the last 5 months. Without Alex's expertise I would have still been using crutches and I cant emphasise enough how important it is to have a staged approach to exercise with their guidance. I also have deep tissue massage which really helps the muscles loosen and engage. If I'd stuck to NHS physio alone my form would have compromised my recovery. I will be a patient here for the foreseeable and it's worth every penny. Thank you!

The entrance is just off High Street on the pedestrian walkway between Achieve Health and Home Bargains.

On-street parking is available nearby, along with parking at St John’s Road car park and York Street car park. Please check restrictions and charges carefully to avoid a fine.
Arrive a few minutes early to be ready to start on time. The waiting room will be open 10 minutes before your class.
Wear comfortable, fitted clothes that let you move easily.

Always wear clean socks. You only need grip socks for apparatus work – there will be socks available to buy at the studio. Footwear is left in the waiting room of the studio.

NO clothing with zips or other plastic/metal fastenings, as these can damage the mats and equipment. Pay particular attention to the back of the waistband on leggings, joggers or shorts.

If you prefer loose shorts, please choose a pair with a built-in liner or wear compression or cycling-style shorts underneath to ensure comfort across the full Pilates repertoire.
Please bring your water bottle and clean socks.
Consistency is more important than attending intensively for a short period. Many clients attend once or twice each week, while others choose more frequent sessions to accelerate results.
Please tell us about any pain, injury or relevant health condition before your session. If the issue is familiar, stable and does not prevent you from exercising, your instructor may be able to adapt the class or recommend a different level.

Contact us before attending if the pain is new, worsening or significant, or if you have recently been injured or undergone surgery. We can help you decide whether a class, private Pilates session, rehabilitation or physiotherapy assessment is the most appropriate starting point.
Mat Pilates sits at the heart of the method; the tower and reformer are used to support, guide and challenge movement, helping clients develop strength, mobility, control and precision. Mat Pilates uses body weight, gravity and small equipment. A Pilates tower uses springs, bars and straps to create supported and resisted exercises. A reformer uses a moving carriage and spring resistance.
All group classes, private appointments and semi-private sessions last 50 minutes.
Mat classes typically have a maximum of 10 clients. Apparatus classes typically have 6-8, allowing instructors to provide individual guidance and correction. Some sessions may be smaller depending on the needs of the group.
