Ellie parnell

Director, physiotherapist & pilates teacher

Since completing her physiotherapy degree in 2004, Ellie has experienced and developed skills in many different areas including musculoskeletal, women's health, chronic pain management, aged care, post-surgical recovery, neurological rehabilitation and in the fitness industry. Throughout her long career Pilates has been a constant source of inspiration for Ellie, a useful tool in her clients' recovery and in managing her own health.

Ellie entered her first Pilates training course in 2005 with a stiff and sore back from years of study. From the moment the instructor corrected her spinal movement during an exercise, waking up the back muscles she needed to use and releasing years of tension, she was hooked! Like many of her clients Ellie became addicted to the post-Pilates high - feeling taller, breathing more freely, releasing tension and generally feeling like a superhero!

Since then she has completed certificates in Pilates Rehabilitation and Pilates Matwork, a Diploma of Professional Pilates Practice and Barre Instructor training. She has held roles with large Pilates and fitness brands in program design and trainer education.
