founders message

It is with great delight that we bring in our 10th year of delivering the APPI Method to the world of rehabilitation. Since founding APPI 10 years ago we have been committed to developing a world leading education program that is strongly supported by the latest research based evidence. APPI is committed to ensuring that its dedicated team of employees, presenters, and members all strive to achieve their goals through this great program.

As of 2011 the 'APPI Method' is taught across 10 countries, with over 20000 allied health professionals having undergone training in the method. We are very proud to have been able to shape the direction of healthcare and rehabilitation in so many countries. We are delighted to have been involved with all levels of rehabilitation and allied health including – The NHS, the British Military, The English National Ballet, The British Bobsleigh Association, The Cirque De Soleil, Premier League football clubs including Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Charlton Athletic and many more.

When we established APPI in 1999, we never imagined the program would become a world leader in its field. As a result of this unparralled success we now commit to ensuring that the program is continually updated every chance we get. At least once a year our educational board and presenters meet to review the entire program and ensure we are teaching the latest in scientific evidence. Our educational board meet quarterly to review specific courses, and reply to any feedback we gain from our valued clients. We continually evolve into new areas of teaching stability retraining through the pilates method.

We are very proud to be able to deliver to our graduates a complete new career. We have seen countless graduates go on to establish thriving businesses and have been happy to mentor them in this process. We are now consulting on many boards at both industry and government level including the FIA, CSP, Skills Active, REPS, ACPET and many more, ensuring that APPI is uniquely positioned to influence the opportunities for all our graduates and members.

With such an expansive curriculum our graduates are in high demand throughout the world. We are very proud to have literally ‘changed peoples careers’ through our innovative and unique approach to Pilates based rehabilitation.

We are now expanding our commitment by looking to expand our current product range to further enable all our members and graduates the chance to ensure they get quality APPI endorsed products to help them establish the centers and programs that give APPI its world leading status.

We look forward to a future whereby the APPI Pilates Program is setting standards in health care rehabilitation throughout the world. We will never stop working, never stop learning, and we hope you enjoy this journey with us.
