Clinical Pilates looks like a regular reformer class from the outside. The difference is the person leading it and how closely each exercise is adjusted to you.

A typical class

  • Five minutes of breathing and gentle warm-up on the mat
  • Footwork and leg work on the reformer
  • Upper body and trunk work with lighter springs
  • Balance and standing work to finish

Every exercise has easier and harder versions. You will not be asked to do anything your physiotherapist has not cleared for you.
