Physio + Pilates is taught by a physiotherapist trained in Pilates. This can be billed to your extended health under physiotherapy as it is an adjunct to your usual physiotherapy session, not a stand alone. It is typically designed to compliment your rehab for your current injury with a focus on the movement dysfunctions that have developed as a result of your injury.
Traditional Pilates is taught by a Pilates Instructor. It is typically for people who are uninjured or nearing the end of their injury rehab and ready to work on their overall strength, mobility and fitness.
It is important to be able to move freely while doing pilates but also important for the instructor to see you moving. Athletic tights, shorts, tank tops, and/or t-shirts are appropriate.
