Chronic lower back pain"I had seen three physios and a chiropractor over two years. After six sessions with Teejay I finally understood what was actually happening in my body. The assessment alone was worth every penny."
Getting here from Harpenden
Eight miles, one road, and somewhere to park when you arrive.
From Harpenden it is the A1081 south through St Albans and out the other side into London Colney — about eight miles door to door. The studio sits two minutes from junction 22 of the M25, so the motorway is there if you prefer it. Put AL2 1JG into your sat-nav for a live time; the M25 decides that more than the mileage does. Routes from the other towns we serve are set out on the areas we cover.
The studio is Unit 5, Hertfordshire Business Centre on Alexander Road, with free parking directly outside and no time limit. Ground floor throughout, step-free from the car park to the studio door — which matters more than it sounds if you are arriving in pain.
"Most Reformer Pilates studios focus on fitness. We focus on how your body actually moves — and why it moves the way it does."

Why people drive out from Harpenden
Back pain and sciatica that has already been treated once.
Most people who make this drive have already tried something closer to home — a physio course, a chiropractor, a gym programme, a Reformer class. Some of it helped for a while. What none of it answered was why the pain keeps returning. That is the question the assessment exists to answer, and it is why the exercise you are given here is not the exercise the person on the next machine is given.
01
Rehabilitation-informed — not fitness Pilates
Every exercise is chosen because it is clinically appropriate for your body. Fewer well-chosen exercises deliver more lasting results than dozens of generic ones. Teejay's approach is shaped by sports therapy, osteopathic principles and STOTT Pilates methodology.

Sciatica"I was terrified of making my sciatica worse. Teejay worked around every concern and every session felt purposeful and safe. Six months later I'm back to full mobility."
