"Emma has supported me through two hip replacement surgeries and one full shoulder replacement (mid 2024). Her programmes of rehabilitation have been extremely detailed and easy to follow, I love her human stick drawings! "

"Emma is extremely knowledgeable and she has fully engaged with all my surgeons who carried out my procedures and this has resulted in multiple attendance of similar operations, during her two years at the Orthopaedic hospital in London. Thus giving her an unusual insight into the physicality and the problems associated with both pre and post operative rehabilitation."

"As a long-time member of Studio classes at the Centre, I can truly say that Alison has kept me on my feet through back, hip and knee operations. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the human body is second to none."

"I have attended the IPC for over 20 years. The thing that stands out to me is the level of care and professionalism. We are encouraged to learn how to look after our bodies. Sessions are continually varied which makes it more engaging."

"I first visited Emma at the Island Pilates Centre when I had issues with my R knee and was recommended Emma (Davey) to rehab me. Having always been fairly fit and active, Emma referred me to see a knee consultant to confirm my knee issue which she suspected to be a meniscus problem, the X-ray confirmed I had a tear on the meniscus. I continued to do my rehab to see if I could avoid surgery, which I successfully did. I am now back playing tennis regularly. I can't thank her enough for all her advice and encouragement."

"I’ve been Island Pilates Centre for 22 years. I attend a clinical studio session every week. The clinical studio sessions are bespoke to the individual, meaning multiple patients with no injures or injures can attend. This clinic is extremely well-equipped and the tutors highly experienced and professional."

"As a long-time member of Clinical Studio classes at the Centre, I can truly say that Alison has kept me on my feet through back, hip and knee operations. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the human body is second to none."

"Doing Pilates with Alison for 20 + years has helped me through 2 hip replacements, 2 broken wrists and latterly a year of ill health. It's a must do for me!"

"In August 2022, I fractured multiple transverse processes in my spine, and honestly, I didn’t know if I’d ever get back to doing the things I love. Competing with my horse and running long distances felt completely out of reach. Then in October 2022, I started working with Emma D at Island Pilates Clinic. Emma’s knowledge, encouragement, and tailored approach helped me rebuild strength, movement, and most importantly—confidence. Thanks to her, I’ve not only made it back into the competition arena with my horse, but I’ve also just achieved a personal best in my latest half marathon—something I never thought possible after my injury. I’m so grateful for Emma’s support, encouragement, and expertise. She’s been a huge part of my recovery journey, and I really couldn’t have done it without her.”
