Rehabilitation Informed Pilates

Rehabilitation Informed Pilates

Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates uses a specialist spring-based machine to provide adjustable resistance and support throughout movement.

The reformer allows exercises to be adapted to different abilities, making it a valuable tool for developing strength, stability, mobility, balance and coordination.

When incorporated into rehabilitation, the adjustable resistance and supported movements can help individuals gradually develop strength, improve control and work towards more confident, functional movement.

It also encourages focus, precision and a deeper connection between the mind and body.


Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is a mindful, low-impact approach to movement that focuses on core strength, stability, posture, flexibility and controlled movement.

Using a combination of bodyweight exercises, breathing techniques and mindful movement, mat Pilates helps to improve strength, mobility and body awareness.

When used as part of a rehabilitation programme, exercises can be adapted to suit individual needs, helping to rebuild strength, improve movement patterns and gradually restore confidence in the body.

It encourages you to slow down, connect with your breathing and become more aware of how your body moves and feels.


A Combined Approach

At Aligned Healing, I believe that every body is different and that movement should be tailored to the individual.

By combining mat and reformer Pilates, we can create a more rounded and personalised approach to movement and rehabilitation.

Depending on your individual needs, abilities and goals, both techniques may be incorporated into your programme, allowing us to explore different ways of building strength, improving mobility, developing stability and restoring confidence.

The aim is to help you reconnect with your body, move with greater awareness and develop a stronger, more balanced relationship with movement.

Movement with purpose. Strength with awareness.

Reconnection from within.
