Group Classes

What classes do you offer?

At Sydney Women’s Physiotherapy, we offer a variety of classes designed to bring out the best health outcomes for our patients. These classes include Strengthen and Rebuild, Studio Equipment, Mums and Bubs, Prenatal exercise, Over 50’s, Unwind, and Restore and Run Group.

Strengthen and Rebuild

Strengthen and Rebuild takes away principles of strength training and pilates practice. It is a great whole-body strengthening class that incorporates the use of weights, resistance bands and your own body weight. This class will leave you feeling challenged and stronger!

Studio Equipment

Studio Equipment classes are pilates-focused classes that incorporate the reformer machine, trapeze table, pilates chair, spine corrector, weights, therabands and your own body weight. The class is set up as a circuit and you will rotate through stations as you stretch and strengthen your whole-body. This class will leave you feeling lengthened, strengthened and challenged!

We also hold a “Endo and Pelvic Pain” studio equipment class that performs the same as our studio equipment classes but has a larger focus on spinal and pelvic mobility, as well as strengthening movements in a gentle but challenging way that reduces the chance of flare up.

Over 50’s

Over 50’s is a welcoming class that focuses on strength, balance and resistance training to improve bone density. We understand that women over the age of 50 benefit from more resistance training so we really like to push those weights! The Over 50’s class will not only give you a good workout but also leave you feeling a sense of community as you get to know like-minded women.

Mums and Bubs

Mums and Bubs takes away principles of strength training and pilates practice with a focus on postpartum recovery. Bubs are always welcome in the class and our friendly team is always willing to help settle your baby if you would like. The Mums and Bubs class will allow you to feel accomplished and like you have ticked off a health goal for the week!

Prenatal Exercise

Prenatal takes away principles of strength training and pilates practice with a focus on your prenatal journey, including awareness of pelvic floor, abdominal and musculoskeletal (ie pelvic pain) concerns that may arise during your pregnancy. The prenatal class can be joined at any time and will leave you feeling more prepared and ready to tackle birth and your postpartum period!

Unwind and Restore

Unwind and Restore is a therapeutic yoga class that takes away the principles of Yin Yoga. This is a slow, gentle and restorative class designed for the management of persistent pain conditions, relaxation of the mind and body, as well as working towards improved flexibility. This class will leave you feeling calm and relaxed!

ONERO™

We’re excited to announce that Sydney Women’s Physiotherapy / Pelvic Connections now offers ONERO™, an evidence-based exercise program designed specifically for individuals with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Developed by researchers and clinically proven to improve bone density, strength, and balance, ONERO™ helps reduce the risk of falls and fractures — safely and effectively. Committing to the ONERO program does require you to follow their strict guidelines, as this ensures you get the results this program can offer.

Why are your classes so unique?

At Sydney Women’s Physiotherapy, we recognise each individual’s goals and concerns and will develop a class that will cater to every single person in that class. Our classes are physiotherapist-led and are small in numbers with maximum of 5-6 students participating per class. If you participate in one of our classes, you will receive individualised feedback that will allow you to progress through your exercises safely.

In addition, our classes are run via school terms that ensure progress is developed. We acknowledge that progress comes through regular practice and feedback, as supported by research. Attending a class here and there will not provide the benefits that many of our patients are seeking and therefore having a term commitment assists our patients in reaching their goals sooner!

Can I still participate in your classes if I have an injury or pelvic floor dysfunction?

Of course! Our classes are designed to meet the individual at the level that they are currently at and build on their base as they progress. We can meet you at any point and support you through correct exercise prescription, feedback, cueing and appropriate modifications. You will feel safe and supported in all of our classes.

How can I join one of the classes at Sydney Women’s Physiotherapy?

If you are not currently a patient at our clinic, you will be required to participate in a group exercise assessment prior to joining one of our classes. This will ensure that upon entry to your class that your physiotherapist has a good understanding of your baseline strength and mobility, goals and any concerns to ensure that they provide the correct exercise prescription for you.

To book a group exercise assessment, please feel free to call us on (02) 8883 5360.
