“designed to move.”

Now is the time to get started!

The Full Rehabilitation Approach

Our rehabilitation program includes an initial assessment, biokinetic sessions and maintenance through our pilates system, designed to get you moving and healthy!

Initial Assessment

Biokineticists can help improve your quality of life, or your sporting performance, by providing you with a customised exercise health plan that addresses your specific needs. This is based on the outcome of a thorough individualised assessment.

Biokinetic Sessions

Biokinetic sessions apply scientifically based stretches and exercise, offering preventative treatment & rehabilitation to manage injuries & disease, and to do final phase rehabilitation following the onset of injury.

Biocore Pilates

Core conditioning exercise programs need to target all muscles that stabilize the spine and pelvis and run the entire length of the torso to be effective. Pilates works several muscle groups simultaneously, with a particular concentration on strengthening and stabilising the spine.

Client Testimonials

I started Pilates 7 years ago because when I retired I felt I needed some form of exercise to remain supple. I also discovered that new grandchildren put an extra strain on my back which had been worrying me for some time . Pilates really helped strengthen my back. This was not the only benefit – I am now able to move more freely and have strengthened all joints that were previously stiff.

I love going to the studio! It is light and airy, and you always get a warm welcome from Debbie. The classes are intimate, fun and light hearted and I know that I will come away feeling better. Debbie is always available to advise on any problems I have. I look forward to the comradery and relationships that have built up in the sessions.

I started Pilates with Debs just over 2 years ago due to my struggles with scoliosis. I thought that her mix of experience as a Biokineticist and a Pilates Instructor would be the most beneficial for my back, and after just a few classes I started reaping the benefits! Debs has helped me so much with my back and has enabled me to carry on pursuing my passion of dancing through much personal guidance as to what the safe limits for my own body are. She has helped me appreciate and understand my body and its limits far more than I ever did, and through using the personal exercises that she gave me at the beginning of my journey, my flexibility and strength have improved enormously! Debs encourages us to work at our own pace, appreciate our bodies limits and just do our best. She works slowly through the exercises with us, incorporating the breathing – which is so important! I also love that in each class we do a variety of exercises covering each and every part of our body in order to work towards every aspect of our strength. The advanced classes on a Monday with Jade are also SUCH fun. Expect more giggles in this class as we all have a great time looking silly together! This class is perfect if you want to push yourself a little further, but just like Debs, Jade also encourages us not to push too far and to always do your best within your own limits. The venue at BeachMed is so lovely and has plenty secure parking which is always something to keep in mind 🙂

Client Testimonials

I started Pilates at Biocore in 2017. Pilates with Debbie and Jade has always been a great experience, whether it be pushing myself or learning new routines. Every routine is clearly and patiently explained, with particular emphasis on breathing (which I appreciate!). I also enjoy the variation in routine.

I have set myself some personal goals with Pilates, and these classes keep me on track, which is why I always look forward to the next one.

I have benefited and continue to benefit from Debbie’s and Jades’s Pilates classes. My core strength has improved noticeably and this has been extremely beneficial for the sports/activities that I partake in.

I started Pilates in October 2017 after experiencing neck and back muscle spasm due to excessive computer use. My right arm and shoulder was constantly painful and I had limited range of movement of the arm and shoulder and decreased strength.

I have noticed my core is stronger, my right arm and shoulder strength has improved and I have had some much needed centimetre loss. The hour long classes function as a mindfulness zone for me and the stretching has helped improve both the spasm and flexibility my shoulder and back. In addition, Debbie is pleasant and always so encouraging which keeps me motivated to try harder and continue my journey.

I have better posture, am more self aware of my muscles and their strength and I am more flexible since starting pilates.

Client Testimonials

A friend recommended Pilates with Debbie, as I had been struggling with backache. That was 4 years ago. I attend classes twice a week, as regularly as I can. I no longer have backache, am more flexible and more energised. I have never been too keen on exercise and this is the longest form I have ever sustained – and hope to do so until I’m an (even older) old lady!

Debbie is a wonderful instructor, with tremendous knowledge, skill and insight. The small classes allow for personal attention. I have met some interesting people too and we share many a laugh!

I no longer hobble out of bed in the morning and am far more supple. I can do so much more, during class, than when I first started. I can even manage (most of) Jade’s progressive Pilates class, which I also thoroughly enjoy.

Jenny Carrington

Teacher

I started coming to Pilates classes because of lower back pain. I have been attending for over 10 years (Tuesdays and Thursdays) Friendly classes, varying exercises and great venue. And Debs is a star!

I look forward to the exercises that help with stress, the stretches that keep me supple and maintaining a strong core that helps with other exercises. The time is also good for thinking time.

The stronger core helps with limiting back pain and also helps when doing other exercises. The benefits on daily work stresses is also fantastic, through exercise, stretching and breathing throughout.
