Rehabilitation & Recovery

Yes! We offer specialised rehabilitation classes designed to support you safely through your recovery and help you build strength and confidence in your movement.

Please let your instructor know about any existing injuries or physical limitations before your class so they can provide personalised modifications and ensure you’re moving safely.

For those recovering from an injury or looking for more specialised support, we recommend booking a session with Caoimhe, our qualified Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor, who can tailor your movement and exercises to your individual needs.

Your recovery is personal — and so is your approach at Elara.

 

For optimal results, we recommend practicing 2–4 times per week. Consistency helps improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.

Reformer Pilates uses a machine with resistance springs for deeper engagement, while Mat Pilates relies on body weight and small props for core strengthening.
