Open Up to the World of Clinical Exercise
Clinical exercise is centred around building strength and improving balance, control, and flexibility, helping you to feel, move, and perform better. By focusing on these aspects of a person’s physical function, it aims to enhance the body as a whole through its comprehensive and holistic approach. While much of the focus is around the aim of feeling better physically, many people also find that clinical exercise helps to improve their ability to perform day-to-day activities with added confidence.
What can Clinical Exercise & Pilates help with?
Physio-guided exercises may support:
- Addressing lower back, neck, and spinal pain
- Recovering from sporting injuries and spinal injuries
- Developing better postural awareness and control
- Enhancing movement quality for sport, work, or hobbies
- Improving stomach muscle tone

What can I expect from my Clinical Pilates Exercise Program?
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.
Once you have completed your sessions and feel confident with your program, you can take part in our Studio Equipment classes. Those who are comfortable with their routine may also choose to become a casual studio member, gaining access to the equipment outside scheduled classes.
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.
Meet Our Certified Pilates Instructors
Our Clinical Pilates program is led by a skilled team of physiotherapists with expertise in sports physiotherapy and Pilates. With qualifications in DMA Pilates and training from the KX Academy, our team brings a comprehensive understanding of movement and exercise.
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.
Our Pilates Classes
All classes are fully supervised by our energetic and experienced physiotherapists and have a maximum of 6 clients per class.
EQUIP (Reformer Pilates)
We call our reformer Pilates classes EQUIP because they help equip you build balance, movement, and endurance. These studio equipment clinical Pilates sessions feature Pilates reformers alongside other tools like chi balls. If you’re looking to master Pilates exercises using a reformer, EQUIP is the perfect choice.
Vital
Your core plays a key role in movement, but not every Pilates session requires a reformer! Our Vital classes focus on mat-based exercises performed on the floor, demonstrating that equipment isn’t essential for a great workout. These sessions are designed to build core strength, endurance, and posture.
Pregnancy Pilates
Prenatal exercise can be incorporated into our studio equipment classes. Our physiotherapists provide personalised recommendations based on your health, pregnancy stage, and experience level. Contact us for further details. Additionally, our floor-based Vital Pilates classes may be a suitable choice throughout pregnancy.

Answers to Your Clinical Pilates Questions
Yes! A variety of exercise class payment options exist, including discounts on term passes.
Clinical Pilates and reformer Pilates have similarities but differ in focus, application, and purpose. Clinical Pilates is prescribed and supervised by professionals such as our certified Pilates instructors, and is tailored to address individual needs and injuries while aiding in injury rehab and improving physical function.
Using dedicated equipment, Reformer Pilates is designed to build strength, flexibility, and stability, typically for general fitness rather 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.
