Gemma Chrystyn Griffies qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2003 at the University of Bradford. She works in Brighton at Body Rehab Studios. Gemma discovered the benefits of Pilates when she was pregnant and has practiced it ever since. This led to her taking the Matwork series with APPI (Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute). As well as teaching classes and 1:1’s, Gemma now teaches other therapists the APPI Pilates method so that they can become Pilates Teachers. Gemma also teaches for Rock Tape which is a company focussed on getting people to move better. Movement is commonly accepted as the best medicine, and Pilates is a great form of movement so Gemma finds that the two combine well together by using the Rock Tape educational principles and tools to improve people’s movements in her Pilates and physio sessions.
