Our teachers bring different backgrounds and specialisms. We continue learning through further training and share our knowledge with one another.
Pilates Noord works with physiotherapists, pelvic-health physiotherapists and musculoskeletal (MSK) physicians. We also offer adapted guidance after injury, surgery or treatment, taking your practitioner’s advice, current capacity and goals into account.
