Clinical Pilates
Led by expert physiotherapists — not just instructors.
Our Clinical Pilates bridges the gap between finishing physiotherapy and building real, lasting strength. It's targeted, physiotherapist-led movement designed around your specific body — not a generic studio class. Each program is customised to your physical health needs and fitness-related goals.
THE PROBLEM
Recovered from a hip/knee/ankle injury, but not sure what comes next?
Many people finish physiotherapy with little to no pain but unsure how to safely build strength without risking re-injury — or simply want a smarter way to build core strength, stability, and control than a standard 1-on-1 or group Pilates class offers. Our Clinical Pilates fills exactly that gap.
Struggling with ongoing back-related pains (life or post-surgery), and traditional personal training has not been as effective at you hoped with eliminating your daily ache and pains?
Clinical Pilates is a great introduction to strength training and building your foundation strength and stability before progressing onto more challenging options. Our Clinical Pilates can be a great starting point.
Trying to get back into training after giving birth, but the gym feels a bit intimidating still?
That feeling is really common — and it makes sense. Your body has changed, your strength and confidence haven't caught up yet, and a busy gym floor isn't the easiest place to figure that out on your own.
That's exactly the gap Clinical Pilates is built for. Our sessions are led by our experienced physiotherapist, Aislinn, not a personal trainer or instructor — so we remove the guesswork, include your clinical and medical history, and you get an assessment of where you're actually at, and a solution-driven plan that rebuilds strength and control in the right order before you're back lifting, running, or training at full intensity. No overwhelm, no comparison to anyone else in the room — just you, your own progressions, and someone clinically qualified to guide them.
THE PROGRAMME
Movement, tailored to what your body actually needs
1. Assessment
An evaluation of your movement, strength, and any relevant injury history — including our specialised pathways that include SpinalCare (spine-related pain, conditions, and injuries e.g. pre- & post-surgery), OsteoCare (bone health - osteopenia, osteoporosis), Rebuild & Restore (post-pregnancy reconditioning) and Hip/Knee/Ankle injuries where relevant.
2. A Tailored Session Plan
Every Clinical Pilates plan is built around a specific pathway, so your sessions target what's actually going on in your body rather than a generic strength template. Exercises and progressions selected specifically for you, delivered by a physiotherapist who understands the clinical picture, not a general instructor working from a fitness class perspective.
Hip/Knee/Ankle Injury Rehabilitation sessions are adapted to support that joint's specific rehab needs alongside your broader strength work that includes sports-specific adaptation and progression work beyond the reformer.
OsteoCare Pilates focuses on bone health, with progressions suited to osteopenia and osteoporosis. These sessions are targeted to improve your bond mineral density (BMD) scores.
Pregnancy Care Pilates is our post-pregnancy reconditioning pathway, rebuilding core and pelvic floor strength in the right order as you return to training
Spinal Care Pilates is designed for spine-related pain and conditions, including structured pre- and post-surgical programming
3. Progressive Strength Building
Sessions build over time — from foundational control and stability toward genuine strength and conditioning, bridging you from "recovered" to "resilient."

FAQ
Do I need to have had an injury to start Clinical Pilates?
No — while it's a natural next step after physiotherapy, it's equally suited to anyone wanting a targeted, physiotherapist-guided approach to strength and stability.
How is this different from a regular Pilates class?
Sessions are led by a physiotherapist and built around your specific assessment, rather than a fitness class structure — the exercises and progressions are chosen for your body, not a general 1-on-1 or group format.
Is this suitable for lower back pain or bone health concerns?
Yes — our BackCare and OsteoCare pathways are specifically designed for lower back pain and bone health respectively.
Do I need a referral?
Yes — if you are claiming your physiotherapy sessions with insurance, check with your provider if you need a GP/medical referral before your first session.
No — if you’re not claiming with insurance, you can book directly with our team.
