We discuss your concerns, health history, and goals. We will also assess relevant movement and explain the recommended next steps.
We ask that you wear clothing that allows you to move easily. Tight clothing is preferred but please wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Contact us if you have questions about what is suitable for your assessment.
We accept cash, credit, and debit. When you book your first appointment, we will ask for a card to keep on your file (if card is your preferred form of payment) .

An initial assessment is $130 and a 45-minute follow-up appointment is $100
An initial assessment is 1 hour. This gives us enough time to get to know you, your goals, your medical history, as well as time to assess how your body moves.

We do offer group classes and shared sessions. An initial assessment is required for everyone. Please contact us for more information regarding classes and shared sessions.
Following your initial assessment, the most typical appointments we book are 45-minutes in length. You can expect to be moving through various Pilates exercises on various Pilates machines throughout the entirety of the appointment time.
All initial assessments are completed by the physiotherapist, with a physiotherapy assistant likely sitting in. Any hands-on physiotherapy treatment will also be provided by the physiotherapist. The Clinical Pilates appointments may be lead by either the physiotherapist or a physiotherapy assistant.
During your initial assessment, the physiotherapist may determine you would benefit from a combination of hands-on physiotherapy as well as Clinical Pilates. If this is the case, we have a few different options for how to fit both in to a session. Please contact us for more information.
