Led by Clinical Pilates trained Physiotherapists & Accredited Exercise Physiologists
Have you ever wanted to do reformer pilates, but are hesitant due to past injury, pain, lack of confidence about how to use the machines, or prefer smaller classes? Well our clinical reformer pilates classes in Geelong West are for you !
These classes consist of specialised and targeted clinical reformer exercises, specific and targeted to your body and your needs. A maximum of 6 attend this class, which ensures you receive specific and targeted exercises, and cues for your body and your needs.
All sessions are run by highly experienced clinical pilates clinicians with a background of physiotherapy or exercise physiology. To begin, we complete a 1:1 in-depth clinical assessment to get to know your body, understand your movement history and ensure all exercises are safe and targeted for you.
Strength, balance and motor control testing is completed every 6-8 weeks to ensure you are continually making movement gains, building strength, flexibility and confidence in your body.
