In general, training is most effective in the sub-acute or chronic stages of a condition. Many of our patients come to us with a long history of problems and having tried many other treatments and health care providers with incomplete results.

When there is an imbalance in the pull of muscles about the body, even when the imbalances extend away from the site of pain – the problem may not be the symptom itself but the underlying and resulting biomechanics (how the body responds to the forces of movement). Even if this is recognised, it is hard to address in most conventional physical medicine approaches. To correct the mechanical problem and return to optimal function it is important to look beyond the immediate area and the presenting symptoms and seek the contributing root cause(s).

Many of our clients report feeling hijacked by their  bodies. When pain controls life choices, this can be overwhelming. Our approach teaches you how to get in touch with your body and understand how it functions physically so you can take back control and improve your quality of life.

The BET PhysioPilates system is suitable for individuals aged 12 to 90! There is no age restriction when it comes to training with this Pilates-based approach. Unlike many other Pilates methods, our system breaks down conventional exercises into smaller movements. It is gentle yet technical and progresses systematically. There's no strain on joints or muscles, only a surprising challenge for the brain. Patients of any age can learn and transform muscle, posture, and movement abilities.

NO! Our experience is that this is not important. Although this is an active approach and there is an expectation that you will be involved and invested in the treatment process, it is not really ‘exercising’ – it is essentially about ‘re-programming’. The reprogramming comes from the inside – out; from the brain and then down the nerves to the muscles. Anyone can do this! Anyone! Many people who never liked exercise or found exercise intimidating find themselves enjoying Pilates and learning how their bodies work. 

You'll notice initial changes fairly quickly, often within the first 3 sessions. Whether it's a reduction in pain, muscle tightness, or an improved ease of movement, early signs of improvement are anticipated. As the muscle 'reprogramming' unfolds in subsequent sessions, expect changes in muscle tone around your abdomen, upper back, and hips, accompanied by sustained improvements in posture. Compliance with the home exercise assignment is an important part of the treatment process.
