Your Physio Pilates Questions Answered

What is the difference between mat and reformer Pilates?

Mat Pilates uses your own bodyweight 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 reformer pilates and clinical 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 can be a great option for general fitness if you do not have specific pain, injury, or rehabilitation needs.

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

Is Clinical Pilates just about core strength?

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 designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re new to exercise, returning after injury, or simply looking to feel stronger and more confident day to day.

When will I have my progress reviewed?

We schedule regular check-ins at three to four weeks and again at eight to 10 weeks to assess your progress and update 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.

Can I claim Clinical Pilates on my private health insurance?

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 checking your extras cover with your health fund to confirm your eligibility before booking.
