Leeds Physiotherapy & Pilates Practice

22/10/2026

Lyndsay is currently working 1-2-1 with Leeds United legend Brian Deane! 💙💛🤍

Working with athletes is something we do every day in our physiotherapy clinic, and it’s a real pleasure to see former professional footballers continuing to prioritise their strength, mobility and long-term health.

Stability and control are essential components of athletic performance, yet they’re often overlooked in training programmes. It’s something we regularly identify when assessing athletes who present with injuries.

Pilates and targeted stability training can play an important role in improving movement control, addressing strength deficits and supporting injury rehabilitation and prevention.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, play sport recreationally or simply want to keep your body strong and healthy, investing in how you move is just as important as how hard you train.

Strength. Stability. Control. Longevity.

Movement is an investment in your future health. 💙

Did you know that an MRI scan can show abnormalities in people who have absolutely no pain? 🧠

It’s easy to assume that if something shows up on an MRI scan, it must be the cause of your pain. But what does the research actually tell us?

A landmark systematic review involving 3,110 people without symptoms of back pain found that:

• 37% of 20-year-olds had disc degeneration.

• 52% of 30-year-olds had disc degeneration.

• 68% of 40-year-olds had disc degeneration.

• 80% of 50-year-olds had disc degeneration.

And none of these people were experiencing back pain!

More recent research published in 2025 has continued to explore the relationship between MRI findings and low back pain, reinforcing the importance of interpreting imaging alongside the wider clinical picture.

So what does this mean for you?

Finding disc degeneration, disc bulges or other structural changes on an MRI doesn’t automatically mean they’re responsible for your pain.

Many of these findings are common age-related changes, and not necessarily something to be worried about.

Pain is complex. It is influenced by a combination of biological, psychological and social factors, and the relationship between what we see on a scan and what someone experiences isn’t always straightforward.

MRI scans are incredibly valuable when clinically indicated, but they are just one part of the assessment.

As physiotherapists, we don’t just treat what we see on a scan. We assess the person, their symptoms, their movement and their function.

What a beautiful day! 🥾🍂❤️

Reformer Fit Studios Walking Club 🥾

Today we swapped the Reformers for the Yorkshire countryside and headed out for our very first Reformer Fit Studios walk.

Fresh air, autumn sunshine, lots of chatting, and, most importantly, a brilliant day spent together outside of the studio.

Reformer Fit Studios was never going to be just a Pilates studio. Health and wellness are at the heart of everything we wanted to create, and today was a perfect example of that — getting outdoors, moving our bodies, connecting with others and enjoying everything our beautiful Yorkshire countryside has to offer. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first walk — we absolutely loved it.

Here’s to many more! 🥾❤️
