Inspired by Pilates’ impact on her own back pain, she trained as an instructor and now combines her clinical expertise with Pilates to support strength, mobility, and confidence.

Sarah is a third-year Physiotherapy student at Oxford Brookes University, with a strong passion for movement, rehabilitation, and Pilates-based exercise. During her studies, she has gained valuable placement experience in private musculoskeletal physiotherapy settings, where Pilates principles were integrated throughout rehabilitation programmes.
A former GB ski racer, Sarah spent much of her youth on the slopes before three knee surgeries led her to shift her focus from competition to recovery. It was through her own rehabilitation that she first experienced the power of Pilates — her physiotherapist incorporated Pilates-based exercises in her rehab to rebuild her strength, balance, and confidence.
Since then, she has been practising Pilates and yoga for over five years, developing a deep appreciation for how mindful movement can support both physical and mental well-being. Now studying physiotherapy, she is driven to enhance her own skills and help others experience the same benefits that Pilates brought to her recovery.
