Chris moved to London in 2020 to continue his career and explore Europe (quickly cut short by Covid-19). He has specialised in recognition and management of complex conditions, particularly using exercise to improve low and upper back pain.

Chris finds Pilates is the perfect antidote to our increasingly sedentary, desk-based lives. He enjoys working with clients to move, strengthen, lengthen and stabilise the structures affected by this lifestyle, reducing common complaints including back, neck and shoulder pain.

Chris works to leave his clients feeling sweaty – but energised – with a smile on their faces.

He is also a Physiotherapist at Ten.

After graduating with his Sport and Exercise Science degree in Rome, Dario took the opportunity to complete his European Master of Science in Health and Physical Activity, which allowed him to study the principles of exercise therapy in the clinical environment. Through this, he came to understand just how beneficial exercise medicine is in multiple areas – from the improvement of mental health and the preservation of cognitive function in later life to the prevention and management of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.

To expand this knowledge and deepen his understanding of these conditions, Dario trained further with a BACPR course, liaising with other professionals at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust at the same time to improve his ability to apply cardiac rehabilitation principles in everyday practice.

Using this experience, Dario always looks for the best possible ways to enable clients to achieve their goals, and overcome any barriers and limitations they may be experiencing as a result of life-changing events.

Recently, Sahara moved from Vancouver, Canada to London for a change of pace. She is now training in a local dance company, as well as taking her fitness knowledge further with Pilates. As she has been doing pilates for 5+ years, she wanted to become more well-versed in all types of fitness and thought that the control and strength you have to do in a pilates class was beneficial for every person.

Sahara’s goal is to assure every person who comes in feels comfortable and excited, regardless of experience. Making fitness a welcoming place has been the goal for the last few years, as she knows stepping out of your comfort zone can be scary. She loves to keep her energy high and create a fun environment to be in.

She has experience in neurological, pulmonary and paediatric rehabilitation, trauma and orthopaedic inpatients as well as sports rehabilitation and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. By exploring many areas to treat, this led her to specialising in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Nehir has a special interest in neck, lower back and knee injuries. She uses high-quality neuromusculoskeletal assessment skills to develop patient-focused management plans. She likes using manual therapy as well as strength and conditioning programmes to help her patients achieve their therapy goals and increase their quality of life.

Nehir then developed an interest in Pilates and wanted to implement the practice in a clinical setting. She went on to complete her Mat Pilates qualification, and has since incorporated this practice into treating musculoskeletal injuries.

She also has a keen interest in Latin dancing, using it to help her to understand how the body & mind connects. She has helped many dancers in her community from preventing injuries, to allowing them to return to dance following acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries and enhancing dancing performance.

In her free time, you will find Nehir taking Latin dancing classes, going to the gym or cooking healthy recipes.

Nikki is an energetic and passionate physiotherapist and Pilates instructor from South Africa. She graduated in 2018 from the University of Stellenbosch with a BSc in Physiotherapy. During her undergraduate years, she regularly volunteered at various sporting events, including cycling and running races, as well as rugby tournaments.

She then went on to complete her community service year in a general district hospital in Kwa-Zulu Natal (South Africa). There she treated a wide variety of conditions, including Neurological, Musculoskeletal, Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Orthopaedics and women’s health patients.

After completing her community service, she started working in a private practice in 2020 specialising in sports, orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal injuries. Here she worked with many in-hospital orthopaedic surgery patients. She worked as a first contact practitioner in the clinic, as well as an on-field physiotherapist for different sports teams, including Rugby, Athletics, Netball and Hockey teams.

She then went on to do her Mat Pilates teacher training course through BASI pilates in 2021 and started up weekly Pilates classes at the clinic.

Nikki uses a variety of treatment techniques in sessions with patients, including many “hands on” techniques, dry needling and most importantly therapeutic movement and exercise. She believes “change happens through movement, and movement heals” – Joseph Pilates.

When she is not at work, she enjoys long distance running, hiking and reading.
