Physio Pilates is a unique blend of Pilates and core exercises offered under the direct supervision of a physiotherapist, either individually or in small groups.  Those familiar with the Pilates Method will recognize exercises designed to improve mobility and strength, optimize core muscle recruitment, and enhance athletic performance.  Physio Pilates begins with an assessment during which the best exercises are chosen to suit your body, injuries, and fitness goals.

We offer classes for all ages and fitness levels
