Reformer pilates is an exercise modality that uses a spring loaded machine to add resistance to each exercise you do. Reformer pilates takes the basic principles of matwork pilates and transforms the exercise routine using these springs of varying resistance to add weight, challenge balance and coordination and promote mobility through a range of exercises.Â
Can I use Reformer Pilates?
Paddington clinic classes: Before attending a class at our Paddington studio, we recommend you book an initial 1:1 appointment with one of our Exercise Physiologists or Physiotherapists.
This initial appointment will involve a detailed assessment of your current ability and introduce you/re-introduce you to reformer pilates. We will then advise if you should start classes straight away, or if you need any further 1:1 appointments to ensure you are fully confident before starting classes.
If you have previously done reformer pilates elsewhere and are confident on the machine, you are welcome to download the Mindbody app and book into our classes straight away. Please let our instructors know if it is your first class at Body Smart and if you have an injury history we should be aware of.
Clinical Reformer PilatesÂ
Clinical reformer pilates differs from our classes in that it is an individualised program that has been designed and is delivered by our expert Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists with your specific needs targeted- this includes programs specific to back pain, musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions where balance and strength have been compromised and pregnancy and post natal modifications.Â
Clinical Reformer Pilates is an exercise and treatment modality that can be used by the majority of our population. Clinical Pilates on any given day at Body Smart Health includes sessions for those post stroke, during and post pregnancy, athletes, office workers, couples wanting to get fitter and stronger together, amongst many others.
Body Smart Health Pilates builds skills, improves techniques and focuses on long term progression, no matter your ability.
