Clinical Pilates & exercise classes
First Choice Spinal & Sports Physiotherapy runs Clinical Pilates and small-group exercise classes across our Lawson and Warrimoo clinics in the Blue Mountains. Pilates reformer exercises are incorporated into sessions where clinically indicated, and into our classes, with private health rebates available through most funds.
Led by APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Jason Wheeler, our classes are designed for people with injuries or aiming to prevent them — tailored to your particular condition, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Research-based. Protocol driven. Outcomes focused.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates uses reformer exercises within a physiotherapy framework. Pilates reformer exercises are incorporated into sessions where clinically indicated, and into our classes — guided by your assessment and your goals.
Because the work is built around your diagnosis, the reformer is used when it's the right tool for your condition — not as a default.
Exercise classes
Our small-group exercise classes of 3 people run in our rehab gym, designed for people with injuries or aiming to prevent injuries. Exercises are tailored to your particular condition, Pilates reformer exercises are included, and private health rebates are available through most funds.

Remedial massage
Remedial massage is a therapeutic massage technique which aims to relieve muscle tension and treat chronic pain — helping keep the soft tissue in your body healthy and managing the areas under increased or excessive load.
If you sit for hours every day at your desk or in your car, or you have a physically demanding job — especially one involving repetitive tasks — areas of your body can become tight or strained due to overload. Our bodies are designed to move, but our lifestyles have become more and more sedentary as the demands of work and family life increase.
A regular massage helps keep the soft tissue in our bodies healthy by improving circulation, aiding lymphatic drainage, and restoring normal tone and length to overloaded tissues. By identifying and managing the areas under increased or excessive load, regular massage can help prevent injuries and reduce or eliminate aches, pains and strains.
Additionally, massage is a form of touch therapy. Touch is an essential part of our emotional and psychological well-being, and a massage can be incredibly supportive for our emotional health — especially during times of stress, emotional upheaval or social isolation.
