FAQs
In recent years many Physiotherapy clinics have renamed their classes to “Clinical Exercise” sessions. This is to avoid any confusion between fitness “Pilates” and rehabilitative exercise prescribed by a health care professional. Our classes contain a mixture of gym-based exercise, and use Pilates reformers and equipment as well.
This varies from person to person and depends on many factors including: injuries, pain levels and previous experience. The 1:1 sessions are to form an individualised program, and most importantly to know you will be safe in the studio. Most people require between two to five sessions, and this will be discussed with you in your inital appointment.
Our classes are all run by experienced Physiotherapists. Each class can accommodate up to four people, who will all be completing their own individualised program, under the supervision of the physiotherapist. You are not expected to know your program, but we do expect a level of independence and safety in the studio.

Yes you are more than welcome to bring your baby along to a mums and bubs exercise class. Most mothers will bring their pram or bouncer into the studio with them. We do not run any other classes during mums and bubs so you can feel comfortable if you need to change, feed or settle your baby during the class.
Due to safety concerns, We ask that once babies become mobile (crawling or walking) they stay at home.
