Mat Pilates is offered as an 8 week block of core strength and postural training instructed by a physiotherapist or a qualified Stott Pilates instructor. Prior to starting Pilates an assessment is required to determine areas to be focused on and any injuries which may require appropriate exercise modification. At the end of the Pilates assessment you will ‘see’ your deep core muscles activating with the use of Real Time Ultrasound (similar to those commonly used during pregnancy). We offer 3 different levels of Pilates: Beginners, Intermediate & Advanced. Private one on one Pilates sessions with the Physiotherapist are also available.
