What does Reformer Pilates involve?

The Reformer is a versatile piece of equipment and plays a pivotal role in enhancing your Pilates by providing adjustable resistance, aiding in better alignment, and supporting a wide range of Pilates exercises.

The Reformer is a bed-like frame with a sliding carriage, attached springs, and various straps and pulleys. The adjustable components of the reformer mean it is fully customisable, to adapt to all individuals. 

We always start with some 1-2-1 Reformer sessions. This is essential, so you are familiar with the Reformer equipment, some of the key exercises, can use the equipment safely and can get the most from Reformer Pilates sessions. Some people continue with 1-2-1, whilst others may join one of our small Reformer classes.

During any of our Reformer Pilates sessions, you will work through a series of exercises on the Reformer bed.

Using the pulleys, straps and springs, your Instructor will vary the exercises, adding more challenge or a little more support. You can do exercises in sitting, lying, kneeling and even standing!

I had a really good visit to GoPhysio. I have had sciatica for two months and it wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Sophie gave me a thorough assessment and then provided acupuncture and ultra sound. After one visit my sciatica has almost gone. I am really pleased.

I have been attending goPhysio for about two years. As a company they are very professional and provide a very good level of service to include efficiency and courtesy and are always consistent in their approach. This very much includes the admin /reception team whom are the first people you make contact with. My Physio has excellent knowledge and has assisted me with sound advice and ongoing exercise regimes which are achievable and realistic. This has supported me well in between appointments. Although always busy I am normally able to see Roz at a mutually convenient time. Thank you to all the team
