Pilates with Priya in Southampton, UK shows 5/5 from 7 reviews, and despite the business name, its five written reviews, spanning 2019 and 2020, all describe sports massage treatment specifically, with therapist Priya named directly in every single review.
A Detailed Account of Recovery During COVID Precautions
Hannah Lingard's review, from September 2020, is the most specific about both the treatment outcome and the pandemic-era safety measures: "Really excellent sports massage, all the COVID precautions felt very safe, and most importantly my legs are feeling excellent afterwards, I genuinely feel like I have a new hamstring on the dodgy side! Priya was lovely as usual and very thorough across all my problem areas." I'd flag those COVID precautions directly, since it's a specific, dated detail confirming the practice adapted safety protocols during that period, alongside a concrete before-and-after claim about a specific problem hamstring.
A Detailed Account of Whole-Body, Listening-Focused Treatment
Lottie's Lifestyle's review, from January 2019, focuses on Priya's overall treatment approach: "Priya offers a very thorough sports massage service. She takes time to really listen and then comes up with a plan that considers your body as a whole. She has helped me move with ease over the past few months. Thoroughly recommend!" I'd treat that whole-body, listening-first approach as a meaningful signal for anyone who has had frustrating experiences with more generic, one-size-fits-all massage treatment elsewhere.
Additional Accounts of Personalized, Knowledgeable Treatment
Sarah Pearson's review, also from January 2019, praises Priya's depth of expertise: "Love massages from Priya! She's great and draws on all her extensive knowledge. Can't recommend enough!" Kerry Cox's review adds a similar point about personalization: "Priya is a fabulous massage therapist with a great touch. Her massages are really personalised for your needs and get great results." Harijyoti's review, from September 2020, keeps things brief but consistent, recommending the sports massage service to everyone.
What's Missing
No review states exact session pricing. Nothing here confirms whether the business still operates under this Pilates-branded name despite every review describing massage therapy specifically rather than Pilates instruction.
Who It's Not For
Anyone specifically looking for Pilates classes, since despite the business name, every written review here describes one-on-one sports massage treatment rather than any Pilates instruction. Anyone who needs exact pricing before booking, since no review gives a specific figure.
