Our physio-led reformer pilates classes are run over the school term.
We are the only clinic in town to offer classes run exclusively by physiotherapists who have also trained in pilates. Our classes have a maximum of 5 people per class to ensure your form is correct.
Having an 10 week term structure allows us to create personalised, tailored and progressive classes, to ensure your exercises and strength improve at an appropriate pace. Pre-natal and Mums & Bubs are run over a 5 week term.
This aligns with our ethos of providing evidence based practice and as physio’s we know that gradually increasing load and difficulty is the best way to get results and reduce pain.
You can attend makeup classes within the term – just make sure to inform us of any planned absences as early as possible.
What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer pilates is designed to reduce pain, target your core, increase strength and improve your mobility/flexibility through Pilates based exercises.
Reformers are spring loaded resistance Pilates machines which enable us to really ramp up or down the resistance to suit your needs. We also use weights, rollers, ova balls, swiss balls and Pilates rings to keep your session fresh and exciting.
If you have never done Pilates before we will then take you through some basic Pilates exercises, coaching you around breathing and muscle activation.
Who benefits from Reformer Pilates?
We cater for beginners to experts, tradies to desk jockeys, the injured clients to the ones who need strength to back up their extreme sports habits.
We provide group classes and 1:1 sessions with a Pilates trained physiotherapist. This means however sore or damaged you feel we can still get you moving without fear of injury.
Historically pilates has been used extensively with people who have lower back pain with fantastic lasting results. We encourage gentle strengthening and mobility to get people moving pain free!
Surprisingly our biggest converts are younger males who are physically very strong but lack the core stability and balance to continue their active lifestyle without injury and back pain.
If you have a complex injury history or feel you would benefit from a 1:1 class to begin with please email us to arrange a time. A 1:1 session involves a thorough assessment of your movement patterns, injury and pain history, core activation and breathing assessment.
