Robert Carruthers Pilates Functional Neurology

Rob Carruthers

Co-Founder & Lead Practitioner

Rob completed his degree in Exercise Science and Physiology in 2011 in New Zealand. After graduation, he moved to France to work a ski season and then onto London. Whilst he had the best intentions of returning to France the following winter, he instead fell into teaching fitness-based Reformer Pilates classes in some of central London’s most popular studios and put his travel plans on hold. After 12 months, he retrained to focus on injury rehabilitation and began working in several physiotherapy clinics, and supported the medical staff at the Brentford Football Club by delivering Pilates. During this time, he also wandered down the rabbit hole that is the world of Functional Neurology. This has now become his main focus outside of the Pilates, with the two interlinking beautifully to problem solve movement or injuries that won’t seem to go away!
