Meet the founder
Resistance Pilatchi® - a unique concept and new approach to resistance band training, designed by a physiotherapist.
I’ve spent my life helping people recover through movement. Resistance Pilatchi is everything I know, wrapped into one gentle, powerful practice.
- Former Lieutenant Colonel and physiotherapist
- A Life of Healing & Purpose - 30 yrs military and clinical experience
- Worked at the UK’s former leading military rehab centre, Headley Court
- At the heart of rehabilitation, guided countless service personnel through recovery, resilience, and renewal.
- Led to the powerful realisation - True healing isn’t just physical, it’s mindful, gentle, and deeply personal!
- That insight became the seed for Resistance Pilatchi®, a wellness discipline born from a fusion of Pilates, Tai Chi and extensive rehab experience, paired with a physiotherapist’s dream of making resistance training accessible and functional for all.
