What’s the difference?

Physio-Led Reformer Pilates for Injury Recovery, Strength, and Long-Term Performance

At Praxis Physiotherapy, our Clinical Pilates program combines expert physiotherapy with evidence-based Pilates principles to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay injury-free.

Run by qualified physiotherapists, Clinical Pilates is designed to target your specific rehabilitation needs. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to build strength with precision and purpose — our programs are tailored to support you every step of the way.

What Can Clinical Pilates Help With?

Our Clinical Pilates programs are used to treat and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Lower back pain and spinal stiffness
Osteoarthritis (hip, knee, spine)
Pre- and post-joint replacement rehabilitation
Chronic pain or recurring injuries
Post-operative strengthening
Sports injuries and return-to-play preparation
Pre and Post Natal

What Makes It “Clinical”?

Unlike general or gym-based Pilates, Clinical Pilates at Praxis is:

Delivered by registered physiotherapists
Based on an initial physiotherapy assessment
Individualised to your condition, injury history, and goals
Progressively adapted as you improve
Eligible for private health fund rebates (under physiotherapy)

We use reformer Pilates equipment alongside mat-based and functional rehab exercises — ensuring every movement is safe, purposeful, and clinically justified.

What to Expect

Before joining a group or continuing with Clinical Pilates, you’ll complete an Initial Physiotherapy Assessment, which includes:

A thorough movement and injury screen
Discussion of goals and history
A guided introduction to the reformer
Baseline measures specific to your condition

If Clinical Pilates is recommended by your existing Praxis physio, a separate initial appointment may not be necessary.
