Reformer Pilates works on the same principles as mat based Pilates, however, the exercises are performed using the Pilates reformer. This is a bed-like frame with a flat carriage attached by a series of springs and pulleys. The springs provide differing levels of resistance to increase the intensity of an exercise or to support the position and aid correct execution of the movement. The reformer together with other equipment such as the Trapeze/Cadillac and Wunda chair can be used to be specific to an individuals needs and for rehabilitation purposes.

Individual 1:1 Pilates classes are run on a Wednesday 08:00 - 14:00 from The Osteopathy and Pilates Studio in Leybourne. Here a programme can be tailor made for you and no you don’t have to use all the equipment from the start if you find it too daunting.
