Class Levels
To ensure every participant is appropriately challenged and supported, we offer three levels of Physio Pilates:
Foundation
Ideal for beginners, those new to Pilates, or individuals in the early stages of rehabilitation. Focuses on learning to activate deep core muscles, improve alignment, and build a strong foundation for safe movement.
Intermediate
For those with an established understanding of core activation and movement control. These classes introduce more dynamic, whole-body exercises and varied movement positions to enhance strength, coordination and stability.
Advanced
Designed for experienced Pilates clients who are ready for high-level, full-body challenges. Ideal for improving athletic performance, complementing other training, or continuing progression beyond rehabilitation.
Pre-Exercise Assessment
Before starting classes, an initial assessment with one of our physiotherapists is required—especially if you are new to the clinic. This allows us to:
- Understand your medical and injury history
- Assess postural alignment, flexibility, core activation and overall function
- Use real-time ultrasound to assess and teach proper core muscle engagement
- Identify any modifications needed to keep your exercises safe and effective
