Supporting posture, strength, stability, movement and confidence

At Total Children’s Therapy, I offer individual Pilates sessions for children, providing a personalised approach to developing posture, core strength, stability, flexibility, balance and body awareness.

Sessions are adapted to each child's developmental stage, physical abilities and individual goals, combining Pilates-based movement with a paediatric physiotherapy understanding of children's movement and motor development. Sessions are suitable for children aged 6 and over.

Who might benefit from 1:1 Pilates?

1:1 Pilates sessions may be particularly beneficial for children who would like to:

Improve postural awareness, alignment and control.
Develop core strength and postural stability to support sitting, standing and everyday activities.
Improve postural endurance and the ability to maintain comfortable, functional positions.
Develop balance, coordination and body awareness.
Build strength and control through movement.
Improve flexibility and movement quality.
Develop confidence in physical activity.
Support participation in sport, dance and everyday activities.

A personalised approach

Each session is tailored to the individual child, using age-appropriate exercises and equipment such as resistance bands, Pilates balls and other movement-based activities.

Sessions are designed to be engaging, achievable and enjoyable, helping children develop their physical skills whilst building confidence in what their bodies can do.

Whether your child is looking to improve their posture, develop their general movement skills, enhance their physical conditioning or work towards specific physiotherapy goals, individual Pilates sessions provide an opportunity to focus on their needs at their own pace.
