Animated Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy and Pilates in Billericay and Wickford

Animated Physiotherapy is a physiotherapist-led clinic operating from Billericay and Wickford. Its team combines physiotherapists, sports therapists, massage therapists and Pilates instructors to address pain, injury recovery and strength building. The clinic describes its staff as including physiotherapists with NHS experience and presents physiotherapy and Pilates as services delivered under one roof. Both locations are stated to offer free parking.

Physiotherapy and treatment services

The clinic provides physiotherapy for aches, pain and injuries, with the aim of helping patients understand the problem and find appropriate treatment. Its women's health service covers pelvic floor problems, bladder symptoms, pelvic pain, menopause, pregnancy and postnatal recovery. A dedicated postnatal assessment called MummyMOT checks recovery after pregnancy and birth, including abdominal muscles, pelvic floor and other concerns. Massage treatments, including sports massage and soft tissue treatment, are offered for tight muscles, everyday aches and post-exercise soreness. The Wickford clinic also provides sports therapy and acupuncture, according to the offers section.

Pilates formats and levels

Pilates is delivered with physiotherapy expertise at its core, aiming to build strength, improve mobility and manage aches and pains. Formats include mat Pilates, reformer Pilates and postnatal Pilates, available as group classes, one-to-one sessions or online. Reformer Pilates requires a one-to-one session before joining a group class to ensure safe and confident participation. Postnatal Pilates focuses on rebuilding strength and supporting the core and pelvic floor, and babies are welcome at dedicated postnatal classes. A free mat Pilates class is offered at the Billericay studio or online via Zoom. Virtual Pilates classes are also available, along with Pilates memberships and a published timetable for booking.

Postnatal and women's health support

Beyond individual appointments, the clinic runs a MummyMOT postnatal check-up, a "From Bump back to You" postnatal recovery course and online on-demand postnatal Pilates. Women's health physiotherapy appointments address pelvic health, menopause symptoms, pregnancy and postnatal recovery. The team includes specialist physiotherapists supporting women at every stage of life.

Conditions the clinic addresses

The clinic lists back pain and sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, hip and knee pain, and women's health and postnatal concerns among the reasons people seek its services. It states that it helps with a wide range of other concerns beyond these examples.

Team and community programme

The team includes lead physiotherapist Anna Maskell, senior physiotherapist Alex Gordon, sports therapist Matylda Wasilewska, physiotherapy assistant Mia Burton, and Pilates instructors Laura Cain and Sharon Beale. The clinic runs a Helping Hands programme that each month offers free physiotherapy or Pilates to someone in the community who might otherwise struggle to access care, with nominations accepted. It also advertises 50% off a first Wickford appointment for sports therapy, acupuncture or massage, and £15 recovery sessions at Wickford comprising a 20-minute massage plus a free drink from Barbell Brew downstairs.
