Pilates is a unique form of exercise that is designed to condition the entire body through focusing on alignment, core strength, breathing and controlled movement.

It's a form of exercise that is beneficial and safe for people ranging from elite athletes, those recovering from surgery and people that just want to improve their general fitness and wellbeing. Pilates exercises are aimed to improve muscle control and tone, flexibility, balance, breathing pattern and posture.

We run pilates and smart ball classes. These classes are designed to stabilise the spine and help prevent or decrease back pain. Pilates is also useful for rehabilitation after sporting injuries and surgery. Individual rehabilitation programs can also be designed by our physiotherapist to suit specific patient needs.

PhysioXtra conducts all levels of pilates classes from beginner mat based ones through to equipment based classes.

You will also have peace of mind knowing a fully qualified physiotherapist trained in clinical pilates will be instructing and monitoring your progress every step of the way.
