Maria Santos

About Maria

Maria Santos is a Portuguese clinical Pilates instructor trained to the DMA and APPI clinical standards — the physiotherapy-grade qualifications that distinguish clinical from general Pilates instruction. Based in Downtown Dubai, she works closely with physiotherapy clinics and specialist consultants to deliver movement rehabilitation that is genuinely therapeutic.

Maria's particular expertise lies in working with scoliosis, chronic back pain, and post-operative recovery. She conducts a thorough assessment of every client before programming begins, and her sessions are monitored and adapted with the same attention to detail as a physiotherapy appointment.

She teaches in a fully equipped private studio in Downtown Dubai and is available for clinical assessments and home visits across Business Bay and DIFC. Maria publishes regularly in Portuguese on Pilates for health, making her a go-to resource for Dubai's growing Portuguese-speaking community.
