Rehabilitation Class

A small circuit style group sessions. with a maximum of three participants per class. These sessions are active, practical, and designed to combine the benefits of Pilates with expert physiotherapy knowledge.

Before joining the group, each participant must attend a one-to-one consultation with a physiotherapist. This individual assessment ensures that:

  • personal goals, abilities, and medical history are understood,
  • any risks or limitations are identified,
