For Rehabilitation and Strengthening

This approach offers a comprehensive way to improve overall fitness, balance, and body awareness. It’s particularly well-suited to Inner-West Sydney’s dynamic lifestyle, where people love staying active and healthy.

At Movement Laboratory, we’ve tailored our pilates physiotherapy programs to align with this vibrant energy, ensuring that every session contributes positively to your well-being. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or someone looking to manage pain and improve mobility, our physio Pilates services are designed to meet your individual needs in a supportive and professional environment.

What Is Physio Pilates?
Physio Pilates at Movement Laboratory is an innovative approach that goes beyond alleviating pain; it aims to future-proof your body. This unique blend of exercise incorporates the core strengthening and flexibility of traditional Pilates with the therapeutic insights of physiotherapy. Our focus is not just on fitness but on improving long-term physical wellness and resilience.

In our small-group Clinical Pilates and Rehab Classes, we emphasise relearning proper movement patterns and sequencing, specially tailored for those recovering from injuries. These classes are created to teach movements that heal. With two fully equipped Pilates studios in our Leichhardt clinic and about 75 Clinical Studio Rehab classes held every week, we provide an extensive range of options to suit different needs and schedules.

Our team, consisting of some of the best physio and pilates experts in Sydney, merges Classical Pilates teaching with evidence-based Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology rehab principles. This fusion ensures that our Clinical Pilates classes stand out in the industry for their quality and efficacy.

This place was amazing I was so happy about how I was treated and looked after . I liked how everything was explained to me and it made sense . I was grateful when I told my symptoms to the lovely lady she knew what I was talking about and ways we could improve things and that I wasn’t alone. Also I felt that the environment was pleasant calm and relaxing which is what I needed. I have already taken a few work cards to pass out to some ladies I know . Thank you ???? Looking forward to moving forward

Anastasia is a miracle worker! I'm a keen runner and I started seeing her a few months ago after a couple of broken backs and a (new) torn hammy. She diagnosed my hammy problem quickly and efficiently, provided immediate relief through some deep massage to allow me to survive a few more important runs before my wedding (honeymoon = rest), and has helped me rebuild through focused strength work and home exercises. She obviously cares about her patients and enjoys helping them achieve their goals. I'm now running regularly and pain free again! Thanks Anastasia 🙂
