Pilates has long been regarded for improving core strength. The benefits gained from practising pilates are numerous including improved flexibility & mobility, posture, balance, bone density and many more.   At EBR Physio our Physios combine their in-depth understanding of anatomy and physiology which is utilised in Clinical Pilates.  This may include a combination of mat, fit-ball, foam roller, Pilates reformer and trapeze exercises. Unlike a regular Pilates class where participants all do the same program, Clinical Pilates provides a more individualised approach to your treatment and goals.

Sometimes the cold weather and darker, shorter days have us favouring a movie on the couch over our usual exercise routine .
