Our Mat Exercise & Pilates Classes incorporate specific exercises with a focus
on strength, conditioning and function to help you reach your lifestyle goals.
All of our classes are run by experienced physiotherapists who are also
trained to a very high level in Pilates. Physiotherapy principles underpin the
prescription of exercises and exercises are individually modified to suit all
levels and injury. The classes provide a safe and fun way to exercise, knowing
that your experienced practitioner is supervising you closely throughout the
class.

How do I book?
Before starting the class, you need to book with one of our physiotherapists for
your initial assessment. This is a 40-minute assessment where we find out more
about your health, your body, your goals and how we can help you achieve them.
We go through a thorough assessment of your injury history and health, assess
your posture, movement and any specific problem areas. We also use specialised
Real-time ultrasound imaging to assess your core muscles and pelvic floor so we
know you are ready to start the class safely. This assessment helps you to get
the most out of your classes as it enables us to help you work towards your goals, to know your movement capabilities and take into account any injury
history.
