Answers to Your Physio Pilates Questions

How does mat Pilates differ 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 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 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.

Do I need to be fit to start Clinical Pilates?

Not at all. Classes are tailored to meet you where you are, whether you’re new to exercise, returning after injury, or simply looking to feel stronger and more comfortable day to day.

When will I have my progress reviewed?

Regular check-ins are scheduled at three to four weeks and again at eight to 10 weeks to assess your progress and make any necessary updates to your program.

What happens if my preferred class is full?

If your preferred class is full, just add your name to the waitlist, and we’ll be in touch via email as soon as a space becomes available.

Can I use my private health insurance for Clinical Pilates?

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

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