Cottesloe Physio

General information

Pilates is designed to strengthen, stretch and tone your body in a safe and pain free-way. As a physiotherapist Bethan has an in depth understanding of how the body works and will understand the nature of any injury or problem you may have. With this in mind a 1:1 assessment is advised before starting the group sessions, to assess you strengths and weaknesses and allow the sessions to be tailored to your individual needs. Bethan has worked in a number of clinical settings including the NHS, sports teams and is currently working for the RAF and has found herself increasingly using Pilates exercises to treat patients and allow them to return to full function.

Pilates classes for horse riders:

Bethan has evented to 2* International level and has a specific interest in how Pilates can improve your riding through targeted exercises and enhanced postural awareness.
We spend hours working on our horse’s strength and suppleness but how much time do we spend working on our own? Your own posture and core stability has a big effect on the way your horse moves so maybe it’s time to spend some time on improving your own riding position, fitness and flexibility to help get the most out of your horse. With many top riders now swearing by Pilates, it is clear that this exercise technique is no passing fad.
Bethan is also a trained equine bodyworker and is currently partaking in a master’s course to become a Chartered Veterinary Physiotherapist, this gives her an understanding of the way your horse moves and problems you may be experiencing with your riding.
