Our Thrive Spines class is for those who suffer from recurrent or chronic back (lumbar or thoracic) or neck (cervical) pain. This clinical program is designed and delivered by our physiotherapists who are also certified Pilates Instructors. Thrive Spines is a 45-minute Clinical Mat Pilates session that introduces the 5 key concepts of pilates - starting from the basics of thoracic expansion and breathing, abdominal activation, pelvic floor activation, deep neck flexor strengthening & pelvic position and control. The focus of this class is to learn the art of pilates pain-free with experienced physiotherapists and pilates instructors  who can modify, adjust and progress any pilates movement. 

Thrive Spines is a small group mat pilates session, that allows for individualised attention and instruction on technique (maximum 7 participants). The class focuses on functional movements and establishing sustainable, long-term exercise routines, with education and self-management techniques also provided. These sessions are for individuals who have attended Total Physiotherapy for Spine-related pain or injuries and for whom Clinical Mat Pilates will be an effective way to address these. By combining your 1:1 Physiotherapy appointments with a progressive Clinical Pilates Program, you will not only settle the condition but importantly - get on top of it for good!
