At Leytonstone Osteopathy, Pilates is far more than exercise, it runs through everything.
Daily online classes turn twenty focused minutes of movement into an easy part of everyday life, building strength and mobility, from the comfort of home. For something more personal, the one-to-one studio offers private, tailored sessions across a broad range of professional Pilates apparatus, shaped entirely around the individual.
What ties it all together is an osteopath and former professional dancer’s understanding of how the body works. Hands-on treatment helps to fix the problem, while intelligent movement builds the strength, control and mobility to help stop it returning. Together, Pilates and osteopathy complement each other to achieve more than either one can manage alone.
The daily classes are built on an osteopathy-led programme designed by Principal Osteopath Luke Askew. The same structural and movement principles that shape treatment at the clinic, translated into accessible matwork Pilates. Bringing that programme to life each morning is an experienced team of Pilates instructors, hand-picked to deliver Luke’s approach with clarity, energy and care.

Private, one-to-one Pilates in a well-equipped studio, led by registered osteopath Luke Askew and tailored entirely to you. Far more than a single Reformer, the studio houses an extensive range of classical Pilates apparatus, including Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair and Ladder Barrel, alongside other smaller and genuinely useful props.
Every session is shaped precisely around the body in front of it. The result is movement that’s gentler on the joints, more targeted, and genuinely effective at building the lasting, functional strength that helps keeps problems from coming back.
Studio sessions are currently fully booked, with a waiting list open.
Sometimes the body needs more than exercise to move on. Persistent pain, a fresh injury, or a problem that simply won’t settle often calls for hands-on assessment and treatment first. Clearing the path so that intelligent movement can begin. That’s where osteopathy comes in, and where the whole approach comes full circle.
As both a registered osteopath and an experienced movement specialist, Luke is well placed to see the full picture — identifying what’s really driving the problem, treating it directly, and then knowing how to rebuild strength and mobility around it. It means treatment and movement aren’t two separate things, but one joined-up plan with a single goal: getting back to moving well, and staying that way.
If something’s holding your body back, the best place to start is a proper assessment. Book an appointment with Luke to get to the root of it and set the whole approach in motion.
Quick online booking, evening appointments available
