SportFit Pilates 40+

about heidi

I’m Heidi, a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 35 years of clinical experience and a deep passion for helping people move well, stay strong, and return confidently to the sports they love. Throughout my career, I’ve specialised in knee and hip injury, supporting athletes and active individuals through rehabilitation and back to performance. But my understanding of injury, resilience and strength isn’t only clinical — it’s personal.

Ten years ago, I ruptured my ACL playing hockey. That moment could have ended my competitive sport — instead, it reshaped how I trained. Pilates became the cornerstone of my rehabilitation. It rebuilt my strength, restored my confidence, and reconnected me to my body in a smarter, more intelligent way. In recent years, I proudly represented England O50s in the Hockey Masters World Cup and O55s in wining Gold at the European Cup. I still play hockey competitively and love cycling, skiing and running whenever life allows.

More recently, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis — a long-term inflammatory condition affecting the spine. It was another reminder that our bodies evolve, and that movement must evolve with them. Rather than stepping back, I’ve become even more committed to training intelligently and living actively.

For the past 10 years, I’ve have taught Pilates as an APPI-qualified instructor, blending physiotherapy expertise with dynamic, purposeful movement. SportFit Pilates is the result of everything I’ve learned — in clinic, on the field, and in my own recovery.

This is not gentle background exercise. It is strong, controlled, intelligent Pilates designed for women over 40 who love sport, who want to protect their bodies, and who plan to keep playing for years to come.

Because strong women don’t stop — they adapt, evolve, and thrive.
