By addressing key areas of physical ability, it works to support the body as a whole through a well-rounded approach.

What does a Clinical Pilates Exercise Program involve?
A personalised program for your needs
At The Physio Studio, our experienced sports physiotherapists provide tailored exercise programs incorporating strength training, clinical Pilates, and balance and flexibility exercises. Your personalised plan is created after a detailed assessment and refined through one-on-one 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.
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 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 method is considered the gold standard for clinical Pilates for physiotherapists. This Pilates model is unique in that it aims to understand the problems behind the symptoms that many people come to Pilates classes to try to address. Our director, physiotherapist Sean Bushby, is a level 4 DMA Pilates physiotherapist, while fellow The Physio Studio physiotherapist Scott Palmer holds a level 1 DMA Pilates certification. Our team of 6 experienced and knowledgeable physios at The Physio Studio can’t wait to meet you and get started on your Pilates journey!
Our Pilates Classes
Our skilled physiotherapists oversee every class, maintaining a supportive environment with a maximum of 6 clients per session for focused guidance.
EQUIP (Reformer Pilates)
Our reformer Pilates classes are named EQUIP as they equip you for better balance, movement, and endurance! Our EQUIP classes are our studio equipment clinical Pilates classes which include Pilates reformers among other equipment such as chi balls. If your aim is to learn Pilates exercises on a dedicated Pilates reformer, EQUIP is the class for you.
Vital
Your core muscles are vital, but Pilates reformers aren’t always vital to every Pilates session! Our Vital classes are mat-based, where exercises are done on mats on the floor. Proving equipment isn’t always necessary to a Pilates workout, mat Pilates in our Vital classes also aim to improve core muscle strength, endurance, and posture.
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, discounts are available on term passes and other payment options.
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.
Reformer Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise using specialised equipment. This form of Pilates targets strength, flexibility, and stability, and is generally used for general fitness rather than clinical rehabilitation.
There is no set rule for how often to do Clinical Pilates, but starting with one to two sessions per week is generally recommended. Your needs may vary based on fitness level or any injuries, and you can modify your schedule as you progress.
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Joint injuries
- Injury rehab
- Sports injuries
- Neurological conditions
- Prenatal or postnatal care
