Your Clinical Pilates Questions Answered

What sets mat Pilates apart from reformer Pilates?

Mat Pilates relies on your own body weight on a mat to help build core stability, strength, and flexibility. Reformer Pilates uses a machine with a sliding carriage and resistance springs to provide variety and additional support.

What sets clinical Pilates apart from reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is generally a fitness-based class using reformer machines, often in larger group settings where participants follow the same exercises led by an instructor or screen. It may be a great option for general fitness if you do not have specific pain, injury, or rehabilitation needs.

Clinical Pilates offers a more personalised experience and is usually guided by a physiotherapist in a smaller group setting. At Therapia Sports & Spine, Clinical Pilates classes are kept to a maximum of five people, so your program can be tailored to your injury history, current movement, strength, flexibility, fitness level, and recovery goals. Your program may include a variety of Pilates equipment such as the reformer, multi-chair, trapeze table, ladder barrel, spine corrector, and mat-based exercises.

Is core strength the only focus of Clinical Pilates?

Core stability is a focus, but Clinical Pilates goes much further. It may also help improve postural alignment, strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reduce pain, and build flexibility, both internally and externally.

Do I need to be fit to start Clinical Pilates?

Not at all. Classes are structured to meet you at your current level, whether you’re new to exercise, returning after injury, or simply looking to build strength and confidence in your day-to-day movement.

When will I have my progress reviewed?

We plan regular check-ins at three to four weeks and again at eight to 10 weeks to evaluate your progress and adjust your program accordingly.

What happens if my preferred class is full?

If your preferred class is full, simply join the waitlist, and we’ll email you as soon as a space becomes available.

Is Clinical Pilates claimable on private health insurance?

Most private health funds offer rebates for physiotherapist-led Clinical Pilates when using eligible passes. Purchase your pass upfront and claim your rebate once your sessions are completed.

Our billing code is 506; we advise checking your extras cover with your health fund to verify your eligibility before making a booking.
