I have tried physio, chiro, osteo, pilates and the gym with no lasting results. Is Applied Pilates in St Albans different?

Yes — Applied Pilates at The Sogunro Practice in London Colney, St Albans is specifically designed for people in this situation. The £85 movement assessment identifies exactly why previous treatments have not delivered lasting results. Teejay Sogunro's rehabilitation-informed approach — combining full apparatus Pilates with Osteolates Therapy — addresses the root cause of movement dysfunction rather than symptoms alone. Call 07734578959 if unsure before booking.

How is Applied Pilates in St Albans different from a regular Reformer Pilates class?

Applied Pilates at The Sogunro Practice in London Colney uses the full STOTT apparatus — Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Barrels and more — not just reformer beds. The studio is capped at a maximum of 7 clients per session. Every programme is built around your personal movement assessment findings rather than a fixed class plan. This is a rehabilitation-informed approach, not a fitness class.

What happens in the £85 movement assessment at Applied Pilates St Albans?

The £85 movement assessment is a 60-minute 1-to-1 session with Teejay Sogunro at The Sogunro Practice in London Colney, St Albans. He takes a full history of your pain, injuries and previous treatments including physio, chiro, osteo and any previous Pilates. He then assesses your movement patterns, flexibility and strength on and off the Reformer. You leave with a clear explanation of his findings and an honest recommendation. There is no obligation to continue.

How much does Reformer Pilates and apparatus Pilates cost in St Albans at The Sogunro Practice?

Prices at Applied Pilates in London Colney, St Albans: Movement assessment £85 (60 min, 1-to-1). Single 1-to-1 session £95. 3-session starter block £259 (save £26). 6-session full course £479 (save £91). Small group PAYG £32 per session. 10-session group block £279 (save £41). Monthly membership: 5 sessions £129 per month, 10 sessions £219 per month. Osteolates Therapy: 30 minutes £65, 60 minutes £110.

Can I go straight to small group Reformer Pilates sessions in St Albans without doing 1-to-1 sessions first?

No. At The Sogunro Practice in London Colney, St Albans, all new clients must complete a £85 movement assessment and at least a 3-session 1-to-1 starter block before joining small group sessions. This ensures Teejay Sogunro understands your movement patterns, history and any previous injuries before you train alongside other clients. It protects you and the other members of the group.

I have tried Pilates before and it did not help. Why would Applied Pilates in St Albans be different?

Not all Pilates is the same. There is a significant difference between a group fitness class marketed as Pilates and a rehabilitation-informed programme built around a clinical movement assessment. At The Sogunro Practice in London Colney, St Albans, Applied Pilates uses the full STOTT apparatus, is capped at 7 clients per session, and every exercise is chosen specifically for your body and condition — not a generic class plan. If a previous Pilates programme did not help, or made things worse, it was almost certainly because it was not designed for your specific movement patterns.

Where is The Sogunro Practice Applied Pilates studio located?

The Sogunro Practice Applied Pilates and Osteolates Therapy studio is located in London Colney, St Albans, Hertfordshire. The studio is easily accessible from St Albans, Harpenden, Radlett, Potters Bar, Hatfield, Borehamwood and Welwyn Garden City. Free parking is available on site.

Occupation: Pro golfer

"Thank you Teejay!!! - by Andrew Raitt - Back pain started for me about 4 years ago. I have played most of my career with injuries but my back stopped me completely. In the 4 years since it started, I have visited all manner of healers, surgeons, physios and chiros that have tried to help with varying degrees of benefit. Nothing and nobody has made my back feel pain free and “athletic” again. It has only been a couple of weeks but it has changed my outlook completely! Thank you Teejay! See you next week!!"

Occupation: Carpet cleaner

"Just do it! - by Nigel Woodhead - I was a very tired and desperate 51 year old guy whose long term back problems had led to a cessation of my very active sporting life and talks of early retirement from my physical job. Physiotherapy, acupuncture, steroid injections had provided only temporary relief and I was resorting to living on high doses of Cocodamol, just to get by. As a last throw of the dice I tried Pilates with Teejay and it has proved to be one of the best decisions I have made. Fast forward 8 months and I am swimming, cycling and managing to work unimpeded by my back condition. Teejay immediately recognised my back condition and designed a weekly programme for me to follow which I have done religiously. My core strength has improved dramatically and it is this new strength that is enabling me to manage my back condition and enjoy life to the full. I can’t recommend Teejay highly enough!"

I have had a facet joint problem for many years. Initially I had physiotherapy but it gradually became worse. I had done some mat Pilates but mistakenly thought it was for more advanced people. Moving to this area I read about Teejay’s Osteolates treatment and got in touch. The best thing I ever did!! It is great to be able to see the same person for treatment and exercise sessions as these can be tailored to suit the individual. I can honestly say that Teejay gave me my life back. A bonus is that the small group sessions are friendly and there is a good atmosphere.

I was recommended Sogunro Pilates by a friend when struggling with sever back pain and sciatica from a prolapsed disc. I was tentative to begin with, but TeeJay was extremely patient and dealt with my ineptness with good humour! I quickly noticed a huge reduction in pain. Whilst not having done much regular exercise before, the fun, relaxed atmosphere and benefits to my back have meant I’m still going four years on, in-fact I really notice the adverse effects if I miss a week. I’m extremely grateful to Teejay for the difference it’s made, and would highly recommend the Applied Pilates.

8 years ago my L5S1 disc herniated in my spine. I started Pilates with Teejay and have being going weekly ever since. Also my coccyx was damaged in labour having my daughter in 2003, I couldn’t sit for very long at all.
With Teejay’s training and putting together my workout on the reformer bed I no longer have sciatica nor coccyx pain and I can sit with no pain.
I feel physically and mentally stronger.

My wife and I have been clients of Teejay for well over a decade now and I have no hesitation in recommending him for diagnosis, rehabilitation and prevention treatment and advice for sports and other injuries, together with the ongoing benefit of his tailored Pilates classes that help protect the body when undertaking activity . Playing sport to international level I have had my fair share of issues which Teejay has helped me overcome and extended my playing career. Thank you Teejay. Greg

The practice offers more than just Pilates. After a knee replacement, the Physio Teejay gave me had me on the golf course far sooner than expected. Every one has a "Bespoke routine" to suit their needs. I joined Teejay in my early 70's, 8 years ago, and have no intention of discontinuing my weekly visits.

I have been doing pilates with Teejay for over 4 years due to back problems. Due to me being assessed by Teejay and then being given my own exercises to strengthen my back under his supervision my back has really improved. I have also been treated by Teejay for hip pain which has helped me to get further investigations.

Our whole family have had physio with Tee Jay for many years for various sports injuries and other pulled muscles etc. we would not hesitate to recommend him. His experience, knowledge, professionalism and ability to zone in with precision on issues is second to none. He explains things well and gives good advice for managing things in between appointments. He only sees you when is necessary, so will always advise whether he needs to see you again or not, and areas you can work on yourself in the meantime. His knowledge of the body, ability to diagnose and to identify the causes of issues is commendable. He is also skilled in multiple physio disciplines so has several treatment methods. I have absolutely faith in him as a physio.

I have been attending Applied Pilates with Teejay for approx 1 year and have found the results to be so beneficial! My posture has dramatically improved and I get less back pain now because my core muscles are stronger. Reformer pilates is now part of my life.

I have been attending Applied Pilates for over 20 years to support positive fitness, posture and mental health.
During that time I broke my shoulder (gardening!) so took a break from Pilates while Tee Jay treated my injury through physiotherapy until I was ready to get back to Pilates classes again.
I would highly recommend Applied Pilates to anyone looking for a regular exercise class and most certainly to aid the recovery of any injury.
Contact Tee Jay for regular class availability and individual treatment programmes.

I first came to Teejay about five months ago, which was a few months after I ruptured my ACL. I was due to go skiing and had been seeing a negative, cautious physio.

From the first time I saw Teejay he has always been super positive with my recovery and has pushed me while being conscious of my body's limits!

He is super knowledgeable about sports injuries, has a fantastic array of equipment to ensure he can work every muscle in multiple ways, and he has a brilliant attitude towards living with an injury and limiting the impact it has on your sports and life in general.

I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough and because of his help I skied twice with my ruptured ACL and am now playing golf and football again.

Thank you Teejay!

I have been going to applied pilates for about 5 years now due to a back fusion and struggling to do any exercise without up setting my back .Applied pilates has been absolutely brilliant and it is very comforting knowing that its been over seen by Teejay whom is very qualified with all sorts of injuries and rehabilitation. Teejay has also treated me for hip pain and advised me to seek further investigations which I have now done and waiting for mri .

I have been going to The Sogunro Practice for the past 10 years, doing Applied Pilates 2 x a week whenever possible.
It makes a huge difference to my overall health, strength and balance.
Run by an experienced physiotherapist you get expert tuition you can trust.
I have used this to help me to full recover from break.

Anyone would be lucky to have Teejay in their lives. He is a master of pilates and of rehabilitation. No matter what the problem, he will take a considered approach, and combine his knowledge of pain management techniques, the human anatomy, and pilates, to keep you moving and to make you stronger. If you are pain free and just want to tone up/get stronger/improve or maintain your movement/have fun whilst exercising, nothing could be better than Applied Pilates. Having done pilates for many years now, I particularly love Applied Pilates because every one of us has a different, personalised plan each class - it’s not the usual group approach. Honestly, I was broken and Teejay has changed my life. I trust him completely. My mum now does Teejay’s classes too and if anyone in the family has an injury, it’s straight to Teejay!

I attended Teejay’s Pilates reformer classes for about 18 months when I was working in the area. Teejay helped me work out an appropriate routine to address issues I was having with sciatica (I’d tried many other routes before this such as chiropractor, physio etc with no success). Within a few weeks of classes I started to feel a difference, and after several months my sciatica had cleared up completely! I was so inspired by it that when my contract in the area ended and I could no longer attend the classes, I invested in a studio grade reformer for myself so I could carry on with the Pilates. Teejay was a great teacher, always patient and encouraging. I would thoroughly recommend him and encourage anyone looking to improve core strength and / or address back or other issues to give his classes a try!

Before joining Teejay's Reformer Pilates classes, I was unable to feel my core muscles and suffered constant back pain. I have now improved and am constantly learning and practising how to use my muscles more effectively and reduce my pain.

Due to a flare up of a back problem, I commenced treatment with Teejay in February 2023. I could feel an improvement after the first treatment. The pain in my lower back improved a little and I was not slouching as much.The pain my shoulders also improved. I have had a series of treatments. The pain is gone, my posture is better and my energy level has increased. I have joined the Pilates group so that I can continue to feel better.

The Sogunro Practice has helped me immeasurably. Having started 6 months ago with absolutely no experience, I have felt supported and encouraged from the outset. It’s a very calm and positive atmosphere and Teejay’s experience is the mainstay. I love it there.
Mary O'Kane

I.ve been attending Applied Pilates with Teejay for almost 4 years. When l first started my balance was very poor and l had difficulty in walking due to an arthritic knee. I was assessed by Teejay and given a set of exercises specific to my needs. Within just a few weeks l could feel an improvement. With regular sessions l continue to feel much safer with my balance and have been able to avoid having major knee surgery. Online booking is straightforward and Teejay can be very flexible with short notice changes

I was recommended to Teejay as I was seeking quick results and assistance prior to an upcoming event.
Having worked wonders initially with a physio session for my lower back injury and progressing with an effective tailored made treatment plan of Pilates exercise workouts , I need firstly to begin by saying a big thank you to Teejay the results in such a short period have been amazing .
I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone who is seeking help with injuries or wanting expert guidance for overall strength and conditioning training.

I’ve had back pain for years, but I’ve finally found a way to exercise without worrying about hurting myself and it’s actually making my back stronger too. Teejay really knows his stuff, and I’d definitely recommend seeing him if you’ve got any aches or pains.
Michael Martinez

I am a tennis player/ coach that has suffered with multiple injuries. Mainly my lower back. I went to Teejay and after all these years he has helped me so much with lower back pain. Additionally, i have had tendonitis of my arm which he is helping me recover. I have seen many physios throughout my sporting career but would recommend Teejay out of everyone!
Ellie Coleman

I am very pleased to have found Teejay and Applied Pilates.
Teejay has many years of experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, this shows when it comes to pinpointing the problem. I had had several misdiagnoses by other health professionals - including myself!
His treatments are excellent for injuries and rehabilitation.
The reformer pilates exercises were tailored to my needs and level of fitness and once I had had sufficient training it was down to me to do regular sessions. This was not difficult because I noticed such an improvement and with continued effort have felt stronger and more flexible.
The sessions are easy to book and there is plenty of flexibility regarding timings.
I have no hesitation in recommending Teejay and Applied Pilates.
Christine Miles

I have been going to Applied Pilates for about 10 years. Initially I attended as I had hurt my back in a hot yoga session and it just was not improving. The classes are completely individualised. You attend an initial 1:1 to access your core strength, flexibility and any health issues. From this assessment a program is built specifically for you.
Teejay, who is the owner/instructor, is also a MSK registered sports therapist and really understands the body and all its complexes.
I attend two sessions a week and have found that reformer Pilates has transformed my body. Specifically because I have a program designed for my body, taking into account my weaknesses and working to improve those areas.
Teejay is always present to offer advice, change excercises as required and to continue to build on the improvements.
Honey Walker
6/27/2024
I have been coming to Applied Pilates for many years initially due to facet joint back problems and the exercises on the reformer and Cadillac have helped me to strengthen my core. More recently I have also had Osteolates MSK treatment for a severe frozen shoulder and Teejay has helped in relieving the pain but also helping me with a set of exercises to strengthen my shoulder and arm muscles to the point I am now almost back to normal! My twice weekly Pilates sessions are a great discipline and have helped me to recover with confidence - thanks Teejay I would never have recovered without your support.
Melanie Millner
8/07/2024
I highly recommend this practice. Since coming to see Teejay I can’t believe the changes and improvement I have seen in my core fitness and rehab journey. Teejay knows how to pace each session perfectly and is the best physio I have ever been with. All that aside the practice is also very convenient- easy and free parking with a short walk on level ground to the room. Thank you Teejay for supporting my rehab!

After years of intermittent back pain, I found Teejay and the Sogunro practice whom I could not recommend enough. After just 3 appointments, the pain that I had been suffering from for months had subsided and I finally felt that I had my quality of life back. Teejay has provided excellent treatment and has been working with me to strengthen my body through pilates classes. Before this, I felt as if I had lost the ability to move my body normally but now the ongoing support I am receiving is fantastic and I already feel so much fitter and stronger! My confidence has been restored, I can now do daily activities I was previously struggling to do and I can go back to exercising and keeping fit!
Kavni Jhalla

I've been coming here for over a year now and it's been so helpful at keeping my back pain at bay, in a way that none of the other therapies I've tried could. Teejay is always on hand to help, and it's great being able to go at my own pace with my own routine specific to my condition.
