REFORMER/MACHINE PILATES FOR SPORT (Overview)
A full-body workout that builds serious strength, our Reformer Pilates session can activate muscles that traditional exercise sometimes fails to reach. Our physio-led sessions get you out of a training rut, away from predictable repetition, and into new patterns. We will get you focussed on muscle lengthening, flexibility and range of movement, deep core strength, improved posture and alignment, muscle balance, coordination, and increased mental focus through breath.
In short, Reformer Pilates reduces injuries and aids recovery, it gives better control over how your body moves and reacts, it helps to create a strong core which translates to improved balance and reduced risk of injuries, and it will take you to a new level of intense mind/body awareness.
If you are struggling with recurring injury, or not quite reaching your A game, doing what you always did will get you what you always got. Hop into class.
“What started as a solution to continuous running injuries, has become a part of mid-life strategy for bone density and weight bearing. Thanks to weekly reformer classes with Helen and Arion, my core feels strong and I’m running with less frequent injuries, as well as being better informed about how to best protect my body. But CorefitPhysio is so much more than Pilates or physio. The talented and lovely people who work there really care about your wellbeing, which comes through in every interaction and advice. Adding to this I have met some lovely friends in the CorefitPhysio community. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

The latter is an in-depth full body assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with a senior Physiotherapist, framed to sports-specific treatment and performance optimisation. Ideal if you’re taking up a new sport, activity, or physical challenge, you’re increasing the intensity of your training program, have a recurring injury, persistent muscle soreness and/or tightness, or you’ve noticed a change in your range your movement.
Following the assessment, you will have a better understanding of your body and awareness of any areas of weakness or instability. Together you and your physio will agree on a goal-led treatment plan to target your specific techniques to enhance the effectiveness of your training, to increase your performance, and to reduce the risk of injury.
