Answers to Your Physio Pilates Questions

What sets mat Pilates apart from reformer Pilates?

Mat Pilates uses your own body weight on a mat in an effort to build core stability, strength, and flexibility. Reformer Pilates uses a machine with a sliding carriage and resistance springs to add variety and support.

What is the difference between clinical Pilates and reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is commonly a fitness-based class that makes use of reformer machines, often delivered in larger group settings where participants follow the same exercises led by an instructor or screen. It may suit those looking for general fitness support without specific pain, injury, or rehabilitation needs.

Clinical Pilates is more individually tailored and is generally led by a physiotherapist in a smaller group setting. At Therapia Sports & Spine, Clinical Pilates classes are capped at five people, allowing your program to be personalised to your injury history, current movement, strength, flexibility, fitness level, and recovery goals. Your program may draw on a range of Pilates equipment such as the reformer, multi-chair, trapeze table, ladder barrel, spine corrector, and mat-based exercises.

Does Clinical Pilates only focus on core strength?

Core stability plays an important role, but Clinical Pilates covers much more ground. It may also help improve postural alignment, strengthen pelvic floor muscles, assist in reducing pain, and build flexibility, both internally and externally.

Is a certain level of fitness required 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 when my preferred class has no availability?

Should your preferred class be full, simply join the waitlist and we’ll notify you by email as soon as a spot opens up.

Am I able to claim Clinical Pilates through my private health insurance?

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

Our billing code is 506; we recommend checking your extras cover with your health fund to confirm your eligibility before booking.
