Our style of Pilates, known as “Clinical Pilates”, is modified for each individual based on your assessment results. It is therefore an appropriate and safe way to strengthen your “core” and stabilise your spine, from low back to neck. Our exercises reflect the latest research based approaches used by Australian physiotherapists, who are at the forefront of using science to prove why Pilates has been used successfully around the world for decades. By the way, your “core” muscles are those found in your deep abdominal area, back, pelvis and pelvic floor. We help you become more aware of these incredibly important muscles
We modify exercises to suit you, whether your spine is too stiff or is unstable (sometimes referred to as hypermobility). We also utilise in our mat classes theraband, theratube, foam rollers and hi-density foam blocks to provide variety and challenge to your spine.
