The focus required to perform exercises properly is rewarding, resulting in improved breathing, stamina and mental focus in addition to the more obvious muscle and joint benefits.

Our clinical equipment classes incorporate Pilates equipment and exercises of Pilates into a mixture of clinically appropriate exercises. Our Greenslopes studio caters to mat-based and equipment-based Pilates-inspired exercises with tailored plans prepared for all clients by our team of experienced physiotherapists.
Pilates combines the calmly paced stretches of yoga with the precision of ballet. Due to the focus on controlled muscle exercises, our clinical equipment classes are a fantastic addition to rehabilitation and injury prevention plans for sporting injuries or general wear and tear.
The classes, which take the Pilates approach to process and patterns, are uniquely designed to target a certain area of the body and a range of motion in line with each client’s needs. As they are a deliberate activity of slow-speed repetitions, the activities tend to lead to less exhaustion and sweat. That alone makes it perfect for people of all ages and sizes, particularly those that are pregnant or have reduced mobility.

Everyone who attends the clinical equipment class will have their own individualised exercise program
Our Brisbane Exercise classes are run by physiotherapists. They are focused on providing you with the resources to recover and reach your specific goals sooner.
Our classes are kept to very small numbers ensuring you receive the very best care. We maximise your recovery through goal setting, and evidence-based multidisciplinary care.
With your private health you may be eligible for a rebate in clinic, making the classes much more affordable than PT at a gym.
On our blog we share regular updates on common symptoms, treatments and prevention that can help you reach your goals sooner.
Note: The Department of Health’s private health insurance reforms for natural therapy take effect on 1 April 2019.
The Department has confirmed that Physiotherapists are the only practitioners eligible to deliver exercises drawn from Pilates within their scope of practice and claim private health rebates.
Our “Clinical Equipment Classes” are Physiotherapy sessions with a mixture of clinically appropriate exercises, which include exercises delivered on Pilates equipment and exercises drawn from Pilates that target our client’s particular needs. Physiotherapists deliver these exercises within an evidenced-based and therapeutic framework, rather than simply for fitness. Our Physiotherapists also conduct specific assessments and monitor clients progress.
