Carmen Wan

After graduating from Caledonian University, Glasgow, Carmen spent three years in Melbourne, Australia to further develop her physiotherapy skills.

During her time in Australia, Carmen also studied advanced clinical Pilates and strength and conditioning.Today, her expertise in both Pilates and strength and conditioning play a key role in her treatment and rehabilitation approach, helping others discover its benefits for injury recovery, management and overall body wellness.

Over the past few years, Carmen’s passion for Pilates has grown, especially after struggling with a chronic low back injury for many years. She turned to Pilates to manage her pain and build strength and has experienced great results from both teaching and practicing clinical mat Pilates in Scotland. Eager to expand her expertise and enhance her rehabilitation routine, she became certified in teaching clinical Pilates for mat, reformer machines and Cadillacs. Having worked with international and national sports teams and youth teams, Carmen has an excellent level of knowledge of injury prevention, management, and rehabilitation strategies. However, she is just as comfortable and passionate about treating all types of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, to all age groups, regardless of whether it is a sports or non sport related injury.

Carmen’s treatment philosophy combines her Pilates and strength and conditioning skills with a variety of other management strategies such as hands-on treatment and designing personalised exercise programmes to help deliver the most effective rehabilitation and performance outcomes. Carmen will be running Pilates classes in 2025, so if you would like to join a grop, contact the admin team for more details.

Carmen likes to practice what she preaches and so you’ll find her lifting weights in the gym, going to Pilates or enjoying outdoor activities. As well as keeping active, she also loves travelling and exploring new places.
