Creator of the Pilates and the Pelvic Floor course.

Pippa qualified as a physiotherapist from Salford University in 2008 and has had the opportunity to work in a wide range of areas from NHS and private work to elite level sport. In 2010 she completed her MSc in Sports Physiotherapy at Cardiff University with her research interest focused around dance medicine. Following this she presented her research in Singapore at the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science.

Pippa has a special interest in the field of dance medicine and science. She has had the opportunity to work with a number of dance populations from the Royal Ballet Company, leading West End theatre companies and with BBC productions such as Strictly Come Dancing.

Pippa Carter is a Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Health physiotherapist.  She has gained experience and knowledge from a wide variety of settings from the NHS to the private sector. She has been presenting for the APPI since 2015 and currently runs a successful Physiotherapy and Pilates Clinic in South Wales.  Alongside this she works at Spire Cardiff Hospital as a Highly Specialist Physiotherapist.  As part of this role, she works closely with specialist Gynecologists to provide physiotherapy services to women experiencing Pelvic Health symptoms.

This course has been developed from her passion for Pilates and the benefits she has found it has had in helping women experiencing symptoms relating to their pelvic floor. She wanted to develop a course for Pilates instructors to help increase their knowledge of pelvic floor conditions and how they can adapt their Pilates skills to ensure they are offering the best when working with women who are experiencing pelvic floor related conditions.
