💫We really can’t believe it ourselves!! 💫

Fourteen years ago, a very nervous me, , and started teaching our own flavour of Pilates out of the Carrickfergus Marina buildings (who remembers that?!).

We’ve evolved and grown since those early days, but 14 years later we couldn’t be more proud of the amazing community that has blossomed from those small gatherings. Many of our very first clients are still with us today — which tells us we must be doing something right! 💛

In these crazy days of the “fitness Pilates” boom (🙄), we’re proud to stay true to our roots — small group, carefully crafted classes, individually tailored to meet real health needs. That’s what we love, and we love that you love it too!

🎉 To celebrate, we’re giving away a 4-Class Pass in each of our two locations!
✨ Winners will be drawn at random next Thursday (23rd October).

Clients, when coming into Pilates classes, often ask me about the 3D scoliosis brace that sits in the studio. It’s an example of a rigid brace many of our scoli teens wear. The adolescent spine, growing asymmetrically on all 3 planes of movement, can be ‘encouraged’ back from its little adventure with a well made brace that addresses those 3 planes. We’re very fortunate to have an excellent, well experienced orthotist in Dublin, not too far away, who makes such a brace!

3 physios and an orthotist walk into a room….😂🤣 We’ve had a great day increasing knowledge at the Irish Paediatric Orthopaedic Society’s conference, one talk was my absolute favourite though! What great integrated care we have working directly with Ciarnaid from Orthotic Solutions in Dublin. Roll on SOSORT 2026!

🎥 Another awesome video from our fab scoliosis colleague 💪

This one dives into why we use certain straps in specialist physiotherapy treatment for scoliosis.

✨ – an evolution of the Schroth technique – is a unique, individualised treatment approach. Each curve type is considered to create derotational and corrective forces that help unwind scoliosis.

At Align Pilates and Physiotherapy, we’re proud to be a certified Rigo Concepts Centre, delivering this specialist, evidence-based care. 💙

Early morning vibes…the past few weeks has been all run rabbit run but sometimes we need to sit…& be still (psalm 46:10)

Some nice ideas for the weekend! Having just raided the allotment’s apple trees & made a crumble I’m ready for the change in season! Bring on the cinnamon! 🍁 🍎 🥧

❤️ This kind of feedback is why we do what we do ❤️
We take time to shape each class around our clients’ needs — that’s why those health questionnaires matter!
Hearing kind words like this (and we’ve had a few this week 🥰) makes our wee physio hearts so happy!

As September winds down, the pace softens.
In the studio, we’re leaning into the comfort of cosy rituals—
slow sips, soft light, and a little space to breathe. 🍁✨
