Our Pilates Services

Unlike general fitness classes, our sessions are supervised by physiotherapists who modify exercises specifically for your condition, ensuring you build strength and control without aggravating your symptoms. We offer both mat and reformer pilates, with options for one-on-one sessions or small groups. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing back pain, or looking to improve your core strength and posture, clinical pilates provides a safe, effective path to better movement.

Clinical Pilates

Clinical pilates combines the principles of pilates with physiotherapy expertise for rehabilitation and injury prevention. Your physiotherapist guides exercises modified specifically for your condition, ensuring you build strength and control without aggravating your symptoms. Treatment progresses as you improve, constantly challenging your body appropriately for your stage of recovery. This supervised approach is ideal for recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or preventing problems in vulnerable areas of your body.

Reformer Pilates

The reformer uses spring resistance to provide controlled challenge for your muscles during each exercise. Exercises on this equipment build core stability, improve flexibility, and develop body awareness in ways mat work alone cannot achieve. The sliding carriage and adjustable resistance allow precise progression of difficulty as you get stronger over time. Reformer pilates suits rehabilitation, fitness goals, and anyone wanting to develop better control over how their body moves through daily activities and sports.

Mat Pilates

Mat pilates uses your body weight as resistance to build core strength, flexibility, and body control over time. Exercises develop the deep stabilizing muscles that support your spine and improve your posture. Learning to move with control and awareness translates to better movement in daily activities and athletic pursuits. Mat work forms the foundation of pilates practice and can be done anywhere once you've learned proper technique. Classes progress from basic to more challenging sequences as your control improves.

Pilates for Back Pain

Core weakness and poor movement patterns often contribute to back pain over time. Pilates specifically targets the deep muscles that stabilize your spine, building strength where you need it most for support. Exercises are modified for your current pain level and progressed as you improve. Learning to control your spine during movement reduces strain on painful structures. Many back pain patients find pilates provides lasting relief by addressing the underlying weakness and instability that's been driving their symptoms.

Pilates for Rehabilitation

Recovering from injury requires rebuilding strength, control, and movement confidence systematically over time. Pilates exercises are easily modified for different stages of rehabilitation, allowing you to work within your limits while progressively challenging your body. Your instructor ensures exercises support rather than hinder your recovery. This approach helps you return to full function while developing better movement patterns that reduce your risk of future injury. Pilates complements other rehabilitation treatments effectively.

Core Strengthening

Your core muscles do more than create a flat stomach. They stabilize your spine, transfer force between your upper and lower body, and support everything you do throughout each day. Core strengthening through pilates targets the deep stabilizers that matter most for function and injury prevention. Exercises progress from basic activation to challenging movements that integrate your core with the rest of your body. Strong core muscles improve posture, reduce back pain, and enhance athletic performance.

Posture Correction Pilates

Poor posture develops from the way you sit, stand, and move through daily life over months and years. Pilates addresses postural imbalances by strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight ones systematically. Exercises increase awareness of your alignment and train your body to maintain better positions naturally. Over time, improved posture reduces strain on your joints and muscles significantly. If desk work or daily habits have affected how you carry yourself, targeted pilates can help restore balanced, comfortable alignment.

One-on-One Pilates

Private pilates sessions provide personalized attention focused entirely on your goals and your specific needs. Your instructor designs each session around your specific condition, limitations, and objectives for improvement. This individualized approach allows faster progress than group classes since every exercise is optimized for your body. One-on-one sessions suit rehabilitation from injury, managing specific conditions, or anyone wanting accelerated improvement with expert guidance and feedback throughout their pilates practice.

Prenatal Pilates

Pilates during pregnancy helps you stay strong and comfortable as your body changes week by week throughout each trimester. Exercises are modified for each stage, focusing on maintaining core strength, easing back pain, and preparing your body for delivery. You'll learn breathing techniques that support labor and recovery. Staying active during pregnancy benefits both you and your baby. Our instructors understand pregnancy-related concerns and ensure exercises are safe and appropriate for your stage of pregnancy.

Post-Injury Pilates

Returning to exercise after injury requires careful progression to rebuild strength without risking re-injury. Post-injury pilates provides guided rehabilitation exercises that restore function systematically and safely over time. Your instructor modifies movements for your specific injury and current limitations, progressing as healing allows. This structured approach rebuilds strength, flexibility, and movement confidence. Pilates helps you return to full activity while developing better movement patterns that protect against future problems.

General fitness pilates classes follow set routines without individual modification for injuries or limitations.

No experience is needed. We assess your current ability and start with exercises appropriate for your level. Clinical pilates is often ideal for beginners because you receive individual attention and learn proper technique from the start.

Many back pain patients find lasting relief through clinical pilates because it addresses the underlying weakness and instability contributing to their symptoms.

What's the difference between mat pilates and reformer pilates?

Mat pilates uses your body weight for resistance and can be done anywhere. Reformer pilates uses specialized equipment with spring resistance, allowing more variety and precise progression of difficulty. Both are effective; the best choice depends on your goals and preferences.
