BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN REHABILITATION AND MOVEMENT
CLINICAL REHAB PILATES AND YOGA
Clinical Rehab Pilates and Yoga at Rosy Movement bridges the gap between formal medical rehabilitation and returning to general exercise.
Programming is evidence-informed, tailored to your specific condition and history, and designed to progress.
With your consent, Alannah, Susan, and Leia coordinate with your GP, allied-health professional, or specialist to ensure your movement programme complements your treatment plan.
A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO REHABILITATION
“For the first time in a long time I feel like my body is starting to move again the way that I want it to. So many times I’d begin my next exercise plan, and I’d end up injured, but since starting with Rosy, I’ve really trusted their approach and their process. I feel like I’m making long term changes that will have huge positive impacts on my lifestyle.” - Stef

HOW OUR CLINICAL REHAB CLASSES WORK
COMPREHENSIVE INITIAL ASSESSMENT We begin with a thorough 90-minute consultation and movement observation to understand your medical history, current capabilities, and recovery goals. This forms the foundation of your personalised program.
MEDICAL COORDINATION With your permission, we’ll connect with your healthcare providers to ensure alignment with your treatment plan.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT Based on our observations and your medical input, we create a tailored movement program that addresses your specific needs.
SESSION OPTIONS Choose between private sessions with Alannah, Susan, or Leia — recommended for complex or acute conditions — or semi-private sessions with a maximum of four participants for those further along in recovery who prefer a small group dynamic.
PROGRESS MONITORING Regular reassessment ensures your program evolves as you recover, with appropriate advancement of exercises and techniques.
