Clinical Reformer Pilates Beaumaris
Bringing together Pilates principles and physiotherapy-led clinical care.
What is Clinical Pilates?
Pilates certainly looks fun, doesn’t it? You’ve probably seen people on equipment that resembles a cross between a bed and a trampoline, moving and stretching about (often in pretty snazzy outfits). What’s not to love?
Regular Pilates classes are enjoyable for many, but they tend to follow a one-size-fits-all format, and your health doesn’t really work that way.
Clinical Pilates at Better Movement Collective starts with a thorough initial assessment, as Clinical Pilates, unlike general Pilates classes, is physiotherapist-led, tailored to your needs, and focused on managing pain rather than general fitness.
When you come to Clinical Pilates in Beaumaris, we look at how your body moves, assess any pain or movement restrictions you may have, and develop a personalised program based on your goals.

Common Questions About Clinical Pilates
What is Clinical Pilates, Exactly?
Clinical Pilates is a physiotherapist-guided exercise program that draws on Pilates principles to support your movement, strength, flexibility, and function. Every program is personalised based on your individual assessment.
With reformer equipment and functional movement, your physiotherapist will guide you through exercises suited to your stage of recovery, gradually progressing your program as your strength and confidence improve.
What is the difference between Clinical Pilates and regular Pilates?
Regular Pilates classes typically follow a group workout format, while Clinical Pilates is guided by a physiotherapist and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and movement patterns. This makes it particularly suitable for injury rehabilitation and managing ongoing pain.
Do you need to be injured to try Clinical Pilates?
Not at all! Many people use Clinical Pilates to address their posture, build core strength, increase flexibility, and maintain their physical health, even if they aren’t currently experiencing any pain or dysfunction.
Is Clinical Pilates beginner-friendly?
Yes! As every exercise is individually prescribed, Clinical Pilates is suitable for complete beginners through to experienced athletes. It’s also well-suited to people wanting a low-impact form of exercise that aims to build strength while addressing flexibility, coordination, and movement confidence.
Do Clinical Pilates sessions include the reformer?
Yes! Reformer-based exercises are included in every session, alongside other functional strengthening exercises, as all our Clinical Pilates classes incorporate a reformer.
What can I expect from your classes?
Our Clinical Pilates classes run with a 4:1 group ratio and are typically suitable for people of all ages and abilities, whether recovering from injury or simply looking to move more comfortably.
