Mel came to us with a physiotherapy problem, including an ankle stress fracture which our physiotherapist Paul diagnosed. With regular treatment and exercises, she feels more comfortable and can see an improvement. Attending Pilates classes with Louise, she is confident that Louise knows which parts of Pilates she can and can’t do. “I’m getting combined, coordinated and integrated treatment. I am that step closer to getting back out there running and walking.” Integrated care is at the heart...

“If you haven’t tried a rehab based treatment, maybe you should. Paul gives you something to take away and work on yourself. Gets you up and moving quickly, very positive and optimistic.” – Kendall, Bournemouth For successful rehabilitation, it is crucial that the treatment plan works for you. With a state-of-the-art rehab gym on-site, we combine physiotherapy treatment with rehabilitation exercises and recovery plans. You can complete these in our gym or at home, or join one of our strength...

“When I went to Bridge Health & Wellbeing, I had a dodgy knee which stopped me running, regular back problems following an old slipped disc and I weighed about 3/4 stone more than I do now. Paul gave me a programme of exercise for my knee and I’m now running 3 miles every other day. One Pilates class a week with Louise keeps my back healthy and has changed my body shape for the better. Between the two, I feel so much stronger and I’ve also really enjoyed it. I hadn’t done Pilates before...

“I will be forever grateful to Paul. I have struggled with injuries for years now and it has prevented me playing any sort of football. Over the last four years, I have developed an injury that kept me in pain with playing football but also day to day life. I have seen many specialists, had different treatments and even received steroid injections to remove the pain for me. After just under 6 months of rehab with Paul, I am finally pain free! Paul was fantastic in outlining what I needed to do...

“Having the benefit of a background in personal training and massage, where I have dipped in and out of the industry for more than 20 years, I have the advantage of being able to tell the decent physios from the average. I can honestly say that Paul and the team at Bridge Street are a step above any other venues that I have visited for treatment. Paul’s in depth knowledge is second to none. His help is enabling me to overcome a chronic hip and shoulder issue, and I am now making solid...

“Louise is AMAZING – a truly talented Pilates teacher and all round lovely person with an expert eye for what the individual needs and how to tailor a workout for them – whether in a group or one to one, as I’ve done both and find this remarkable. She doesn’t miss a thing, constantly challenging you but in the most enjoyable, engaging and ‘real’ way – by far, the most unintimidating but professional class I’ve been part of – and the clinic itself is spotlessly clean throughout – from studio to...

In September, when I first came to the Bridge Health & Wellbeing clinic, I was experiencing unexpected leg buckling which felt like a sudden smack in the back of the knee resulting in collapse. I was using a stick in the house or feeling walls and furniture on my way from room to room. Since Christmas, I haven’t suffered any more collapsing of the knee. My walking has improved inside the house and outside with Nordic poles. I managed the promenade (1,000 steps according to my step-counter)...

“I have been taking Louise’s Pilates class at Bridge Health and Wellbeing in Christchurch for just over four months now. Louise not only makes her classes fun & enjoyable but also challenging. I am vastly improving every week with her help and support. I cannot recommend Louise and Bridge Health highly enough. Location is great, easy parking, clean & modern with great facilities. I have just signed up for the Wellbeing Membership which great value for money and so much is included. Not...

“Since starting Pilates I’m amazed how quickly I noticed the benefits and results. My posture and core strength are noticeably improved as well as feeling more energised. It’s a great workout for the entire body. I always leave the class feeling better, mentally and physically.” – Christine C Christine was looking for a local Pilates class in Christchurch Dorset, and we are so pleased with how she is progressing.

“Louise’s commitment and enthusiasm to Pilates is second to none. It’s these attributes that make her classes incredibly fun and enjoyable. Having suffered back pain for a number of years I have noticed a profound difference especially to my upper back since doing Pilates. I am now fully converted to its benefits, having initially being hesitant and unsure.” – Paul R After struggling with back pain Paul joined our beginners Pilates class here in Christchurch Dorset and has worked really hard...

“I was a bit unsure about the concept of pilates as I thought it would be lots of breathing techniques – but I was wrong! Louise has such a warm and friendly approach that she put me at ease within minutes. Her hands-on attentiveness ensured that I was in the correct positions to avoid any damage or muscle strain and I was amazed at how quickly the positions and routines felt familiar. The class was much more of a workout than I had imagined, but I had so much fun during the class that I...

“…I went to see Paul and he quickly diagnosed the problem, why it had happened and set about a treatment course that suited my needs whilst explaining what I should do to make sure it did not happen again. Paul coped well with my impetuosity to start running sooner than was sensible, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made perfect sense. The rehab exercises were varied, interesting and Paul was attentive in monitoring my progress. I am now back running and am...

“I went to see Paul because I’ve had an ongoing achilles problem and I have never found anybody that has been able to resolve it. I am due to do the Berlin marathon, so wanted it to be sorted before my training started. My first impression when I walked into the clinic was that it was very professional, warm and at the same time friendly. I was welcomed by a big smile from both Paul and Louise that straight away made me feel at ease. I am pleased to say that I am now at last pain free and in...

“I couldn’t recommend Bridge Health & Wellbeing, Christchurch, highly enough. Superb considerate treatment, Paul and Louise are lovely people who are very good at their jobs. I’m back running and playing Football better than before.” – Mel C
