About Us
Welcome to Proprius Pilates, Therapies & Training
We believe every client is unique, requiring individual, prescriptive treatments and our team of experienced, highly qualified therapists have helped change lives.
Glebe Barn Studios and Clinic, based in South Norfolk, was opened in 2007 by Kim Snelling. Kim founded Shape-Up Pilates in 1993 and in 2022, Shape-Up Pilates and Proprius Therapies joined together to create Proprius PTT.
Proprius is a Latin word which has various meanings – ‘individual’, ‘own’, ‘special’ and ‘characteristic’ – all of which encapsulate the uniqueness of everyone and the physical and mental make-up of us all as human beings. Proprius Therapies has evolved to cater for an increasing number of clients presenting with injury-related issues or mechanical pain problems. At Glebe Barn Studios & Clinic, the Proprius team have successfully treated many clients, some of whom had begun to lose hope as they searched for answers. All are helped to understand the long-term benefits of the treatments and the solutions relevant to them.
Our Therapists treat clients with various conditions and over the last five years they have specialised in mechanical back pain issues, nutated pelvises, lateral ‘C’ curve (including clinical scoliosis) and hypermobility. As a result, the team has developed, with considerable success, both manual therapies and physical prescriptive exercise programmes to address these complex but extremely common problems.
As knowledgeable anatomists, with an in-depth understanding of movement and movement patterns, the team at Proprius PTT have adapted their techniques to work on biomechanical weaknesses and mentor other Practitioners in their unique style and methodology. Our philosophy is that every client is different, requiring individual, prescriptive treatments and the testimonials received are affirmation of the many positive outcomes.
