"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon"
What is Pilates?
It is a method of exercise/movement that focuses on alignment, stability, breathing and mobility. Pilates encompasses the body, the mind and the soul through it’s elements of relaxation, concentration and co-ordination.
What is Clinical Pilates?
It is the use of the Pilates method by a medical professional (ie. physiotherapist) as a rehabilitation tool. We focus on the principles of alignment, breath, balance, core stability, and spinal mobility. It uses numerous adaptations to original classic Pilates exercises allowing for safety and appropriate movement.
With the use of small equipment, body weight and large apparatus we are able to assist and support movement allowing engagement/access to specific muscles activation. You’ll stretch longer and deeper than ever before and create stable joints that are more balanced and resistant to injury.

Dani Langford
Dani is a Registered Physiotherapist who completed her masters in Perth, Australia and she is the newest member of our team at Treloar Physiotherapy Clinic. “After completing my Masters in Physiotherapy in Australia I was exposed to the combination of Pilates and Physiotherapy in rehabilitation. Pilates is one of the fastest growing forms of exercise in the world and is already very successfully used for rehabilitation in Australia and Europe. To ensure quality instruction, proper alignment, and muscle reprogramming, one-on-one teaching is being offered in 30 minute or 1 hour sessions.
What People Are Saying:
"Pilates movements are so small and specific, that to jump right into a large class which will seem easy, in fact can be counter beneficial; it is easy to think you are doing the moves correctly and be actually doing more damage. After taking many different types of yoga and pilates classes I know that it is imperative to start with private lessons, or at least start with the very basics given in small classes, particularly for people like me, with a mobile pelvis, naturally flexible, with spodylothesis, and spondylosis, SI joint problems and sever L5 disc deterioration." -R. Liddle
