At Graceville Physiotherapy, our Clinical Pilates team works in a safe environment. Classes are small so we can give 1 on 1 attention. There is always a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist on site. Participants must have a physiotherapy assessment first in order for us to structure the classes around the individuals involved. Exercises can be modified for most injuries/weaknesses or alternatives given. Anyone with an injury should be exercising under the supervision of a physiotherapist for safety.
