PILATES PATHWAY
REFORMER PILATES SESSIONS
AS MOVEMENT SPECIALISTS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED PILATES PROGRAMMES TO TARGET YOUR INJURY RECOVERY, HEALTH & WELL BEING AND MOVING INTO PERFORMANCE GAINS
What Pilates is beneficial for
1. Injury Management
Pilates is a wonderful rehabilitation tool for injury recovery. It can be utilised as a transition when moving from injury and pain back into exercise. This can help you progress into your specific field of exercise with comfort and confidence. Many injuries are a result of asymmetry within the body. Whether this is due to your body structure, your running technique or simply the way you move your body, this can increase the risk of injury. Being more aware of the body and its movements can create more symmetrical movement, which can be achieved through pilates.
2. Performance
Pilates has many fantastic benefits such as improving core strength, increasing and maintain your mobility/flexibility, improving your posture and movement awareness, improving balance and performance. Pilates can be progressed to a higher level which focuses on maximising the stability muscles activity in order to improve high level activities like running, cycling, sports, weigh training etc. Increasing the pace and intensity of exercises to improve the cardiovascular system, as well as incorporating balance and proprioception which are vital for good sporting performance.
WHY CHOOSE PILATES
- Clinical Pilates:All of our pilates instructors have been trained through APPI (The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute). The APPI is a highly accredited and internationally recognised institution. It is based on the latest scientific research and has high quality instruction. The course can only be completed by medically trained professionals and our clinic has instructors that are either physiotherapists or sports rehabilitators..
- Small Classes:Our classes have a maximum of three people in them. This allows for vital feedback from our instructors. Small classes enable the instructors to pick up and improve movement patterns so that the optimal positioning and gains can be achieved.
- Pilates Pathway:As our classes are taken by medically trained professionals this allows for special needs such as pain and injury to be taken into consideration. Our team have developed a full pathway and class structure to allow you to return to exercise safely, work on strengthening problem areas before challenging you with our progressive and elite classes.
First book your Discovery session where one of our Pilates Instuctors will introduce you to the reformer, assess how you move and the specific areas that need targeting during your sessions
Then your options are:
- 1:2:1 Sessions: Provide the benefit of either helping to manage recovery from injury, enhance your specific performance needs or help prepare you for the classes. These can be added to your program alongside classes for those looking to progress sooner.
- Introductory classes: Our starter sessions are ideal to learn basic movement patterns and develop your skills on the reformer.
- Progressive classes: Increasing the challenges on your body through the levels with more complex and difficult movements.
- Elite classes: Our invitational classes for those who are injury free and looking to challenge their pilates progress.
