Step into the World of Clinical Exercise
Centred on building strength, refining balance, and enhancing flexibility, clinical exercise is designed to support better movement and function.

Many people also find that beyond feeling better physically, it helps them carry out daily tasks with greater confidence.

- Addressing lower back, neck, and spinal pain

What does a Clinical Pilates Exercise Program involve?
A program specific to YOU
At The Physio Studio, our highly trained sports physiotherapists are qualified in using a range of exercises including strength training, the clinical Pilates method, and balance and flexibility training, and will establish a program specifically for you. Following a thorough initial assessment, we develop your program over a series of 1:1 sessions.
You are then ready to join our Studio Equipment classes. Participants who are experienced and confident with their program after attending a full course of sessions can then also elect to join as a casual studio member and access the studio equipment outside of class times.
Discover Our Pilates Studio
We offer a fully equipped, air-conditioned Pilates studio where we run our EQUIP Pilates classes. Here, clients are able to attend the many supervised Pilates-based exercise classes scheduled throughout the week or 1:1 intensive sessions provided by our physiotherapists.
Our sessions incorporate a variety of equipment, including Pilates reformers, chi balls, trapeze tables, and balance balls, ensuring a workout that is both engaging and effective. The added resistance from the equipment supports a full-body workout while focusing on core stability. Whether you’re managing back or neck discomfort, dealing with other aches or pains, or looking to enhance your core strength, Pilates—through group classes or private sessions—could be the ideal way to support your fitness goals.
Our Team of Certified Pilates Instructors
Our Clinical Pilates program is run by our experienced team of physiotherapists with clinical knowledge and training in sports physiotherapy and Pilates. Members of the team are DMA Pilates Physiotherapists and also have training from the KX Academy, making them well-rounded and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to Pilates.
The DMA approach is widely regarded as the leading method for clinical Pilates among physiotherapists. Unlike traditional Pilates, it focuses on identifying the underlying causes of symptoms rather than just managing them. At The Physio Studio, director Sean Bushby is a level 4 DMA Pilates physiotherapist, and Scott Palmer holds a level 1 certification. Our team of six skilled physios is eager to welcome you and help you get started with Pilates.
Pilates Classes We Offer
Each class is guided by our enthusiastic and knowledgeable physiotherapists, ensuring personalised attention with a limit of 6 participants per session.
EQUIP (Reformer Pilates)
Named EQUIP because they prepare and equip you for improved balance, mobility, and endurance, our reformer Pilates classes incorporate Pilates reformers and other equipment like chi balls. If your goal is to develop Pilates skills on a reformer, EQUIP is the ideal class to join.
Vital
Core strength is essential, but Pilates reformers aren’t always needed! Our Vital classes offer mat-based Pilates, with exercises performed on the floor to enhance strength, endurance, and posture—showing that an effective workout doesn’t always require equipment.
Pregnancy Pilates
We offer studio equipment classes that can support prenatal exercise. Our physiotherapists will guide you on suitable sessions and movements based on your health, pregnancy stage, and prior experience. Feel free to reach out for more details. Our mat-based Vital Pilates classes may also be a good option during pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Pilates
Yes, we offer different payment options, including discounted term passes.
While Clinical Pilates and Reformer Pilates share similarities, they differ in purpose and approach. Clinical Pilates is guided by trained professionals and focuses on individual needs, rehabilitation, and improving function.
Reformer Pilates involves specialised equipment and focuses on strength, flexibility, and stability, making it more suited to general fitness than rehabilitation.
How often you do clinical Pilates is ultimately up to you, however we generally suggest starting with one to two sessions per week. This suggestion may differ for you depending on factors such as your fitness level, any existing injuries or conditions, and so on. As you progress and develop strength, balance, and flexibility, you may wish to change how frequently you do clinical Pilates as well.
