Fiona Morris, APPI instructor for Pilates and registered physiotherapist
 

 About Me

Hello! I am Fiona Morris, Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor, Founder and Owner of the Physiotherapy and Pilates Company and mum to two young children and an occasional runner, although not always in that order.


I graduated from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen in 2009 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. Initially, I worked for NHS Lothian gaining experience in a variety of inpatient and outpatient specialities before moving overseas along with my husband in 2012. 

Following the birth of our daughter in 2013, whilst living in Denmark,  I developed an interest in women’s health, particularly in the pregnancy and postpartum periods. This resulted in me starting my own Physiotherapy company, FitMums in Denmark. I provided specialist pregnancy and postnatal exercise and education classes as well as a support network for new mums. At this time I also developed an interest in Pilates and commenced my matwork training.  This interest in Pilates continued to develop and I am now an APPI Certified Matwork Pilates Instructor as well as completing further training in Pregnancy and Postnatal Pilates, Pilates for Children and Young People and Pilates and the Pelvic Floor.  

Family life kept myself and my family on the move over the next few years and I continued to develop my business whilst living in Kuwait and Vietnam providing Pilates classes for expats and their children. Whilst living in Ho CHi Minh City I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to provide physiotherapy services and support for Little Feather Foundation a charity which provides palliative care for Vietnamese children with terminal and life limiting conditions. Although, at times this was challenging, it was also extremely rewarding and taught me a lot about myself.  

Since returning to the UK in June 2018 I have continued to grow The Physiotherapy and Pilates Company by teaching a mix of Pilates classes throughout Aberdeenshire as well as progressing my women’s health physiotherapy services through my passion for quality pregnancy and postnatal care. My main focus now is in helping women to safely return to exercise and achieve their fitness goals postpartum whether that be to run a marathon or simply to be able to play with their baby or children without pain or limitations.

Really enjoy the postnatal Pilates class, Fiona is a very knowledgeable teacher and offers great advice on different levels of workouts depending on recovery or level of fitness - Carrie

This is an excellent opportunity to have a healthy pregnancy, birth and post natal experience. Fiona was an excellent and informative teacher who was very experienced and helpful. It really good to get some personalised advice as well. Brilliant. - Tessa

I had a wonderful experience at the classes. The exercises seemed easy, but it is amazing how much they help and I liked the fact that it felt more like a personal training, everything was explained well and all my questions were answered. Fiona is a great teacher and a kind and warm person. I highly recommend the class - Annamaria 


Absolutely love your class!! I wasn’t convinced before about Pilates but I can definitely say I’d highly recommend your class. Thanks for all your hard work. - Yvonne

Great Pilates classes, I really feel the benefit from it. Fiona is a very good instructor, she explains everything very well and helps you get the right form. - Dawn

Was feeling miserable this morning and seriously considered skipping my Mother and Baby Pilates class but I’m so glad I went. Afterwards, I had much more energy and felt happier, stronger and calmer - and that was after just an hour long session. It’s a lovely class that not only allows you to meet other new mums and gets you back into exercise in a safe and gentle way, it’s also an hour to spend reconnecting with yourself and your baby in a safe and supportive environment. Would highly recommend. - Alison
