Clinical Pilates · Ponsonby
Pilates built around your body, not a class of forty
A big, generic Pilates class is fine for some. It is not what you need when you are rehabbing an injury or rebuilding after pain. Our Clinical Pilates is led by a specially-trained physio and Pilates instructor, with a programme tailored to you, so you build strength, control and easy movement that actually lasts.
Physio-led
Your instructor is a physio who knows your history
Built for you
Matched to your body and stage of recovery
All levels
Beginner or experienced, you start where you are
Clinical, not just classes
The difference is in the word "clinical". Because your instructor is physio-trained and knows your history, every movement is chosen for your body and your stage of recovery, and progressed as you get stronger. You are not following along at the back of a room hoping it is doing you good.
Strength you keep
Clinical Pilates teaches you body awareness and control, the deep, often-neglected muscles that protect your back and support good posture. That is why it works so well as the bridge from rehab back to full, confident movement.
Who it is for
