At Manly Pilates we provide client focused programs, the moves are specifically tailored to you, how you currently move and how to progress your movement strategy and awareness. Variations to an exercise, different loads, different exercises and focuses are there specifically for you, the client to achieve your needs and goals. A book or video provide general classes, to keep the general population safe and still engaged, it is generally marketed to a particular client type.

Call me if you are unsure. Otherwise in general, it is suggested you obtain clearance from your medical practitioner for a semi or private class. I have completed several women's health courses and continue to stay up to date with the latest industry work practices to ensure you receive the best care whilst performing pilates.

I work closely with a number of health practitioners already to ensure we do what is in line with you and your health practitioners goal. We provide progress details to them and when we can add more load or challenge to your program.
