Here at SV we are all for Reformer Pilates and the benefits it brings to our clients alongside their niggles and injuries.
What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a versatile work out for the full body, suitable for all levels of fitness. It uses a specialised bed-like machine with adjustable parts to provide resistance and support, these include a sliding carriage, springs & straps. It's dynamic structure
allows it to be customisable for all.
It's a fantastic, low impact way of improving flexibility, pelvic floor, core strength, muscle tone, posture, and stability. It uses resistance to reach deeper muscle engagement than traditional mat Pilates methods.
Why do we recommend it?
Our Director and Lead Therapist Sophie is trained by APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) and regularly prescribes mat-based Pilates exercises to her clients for their injury/pain.
She also massively advocates reformer Pilates to her clients and already has numerous clients who are members of local reformer Pilates studios.
We feel reformer Pilates is a huge asset to a lot of our clients for their injury/medical disease, or if they are training for an epic endurance event (marathon, ultra marathon, cycling event).
We recommend Reformer Pilates, if our clients are/ have:
Deconditioned, not a gym member
Pelvic organ prolapse
Disc herniation (not slipped disc)
Osteo arthritis
Osteoporosis
High level clients - triathletes, marathon runners, boxers, golfers, tennis players, crossfitters, hyrox athletes
