Why classes help
Why it helps
Pilates builds strength, control and mobility through slow, precise movement, with a focus on the deep muscles that support your spine and hips. In a physio-led class, the instructor understands injuries and can modify exercises for you, which is why it is a popular next step after rehab, or for people who want to exercise without aggravating a sore back, hip or shoulder.
In more detail
The classes explained
What to expect and who each one suits.
Equipment Pilates
Equipment-based Pilates uses springs and resistance to support or challenge movement, which allows exercises to be adjusted precisely for your strength and any limitations. Classes are small and physio-led so your technique is watched and progressed.
Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates uses your own body weight on the floor to build core strength, control and flexibility. It needs little equipment and carries over well to home exercise, with your physio modifying exercises where needed.
Pilates after an injury
If you have been through physio for a back, hip or shoulder problem, a guided class is a way to keep building strength and control. Tell your physio about your history so the exercises can be planned around it.
Choosing between classes
Not sure which class suits you? Call us and describe your history and goals, and we'll recommend a class, or suggest booking a physio appointment first if that makes more sense.
