Here at APC Physio, we encourage anyone interested in working toward a stronger and more flexible body to try our Physio-led Pilates classes. s
Pilates is an amazing exercise method that focuses on building strength, flexibility and balance, promoting muscle and bone health, optimising pelvic floor and spinal function, and promoting overall mind-body wellness.
With regular and consistent practice, Pilates will help you, not only build strength but also restore balance. A key step toward staying fit and independent and for preventing injuries or falls.
Our Pilates clients tell us that after only a short time, they notice that their posture has improved, They feel more confident in their body and move more easily (without second guessing themselves or thinking something is going to happen).
A selection of morning and evening APC Physio Pilates classes are available at our Lapps Quay location in Cork City throughout the year. Click here to view our Physio Pilates timetable.

“The human body is amazing and can do anything once the training is good and the practice consistent.”
– Patrick Hanley, Founder of APC PhysioPhysio Pilates is a form of exercise that combines the principles of Pilates with the expertise of physiotherapy. It involves precise movements, focusing on body awareness, breath control, and muscle engagement.
Physiotherapists, specially trained in Pilates, guide class participants through a series of slow-moving exercises aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and coordination.
It involves using sequences of precise movements that coordinate the breath, muscle engagement, and body awareness. This sounds complicated but with the help of our expert Physios, you will find your flow in no time.
Our Physios use Pilates to get people back on track after disc problems, Sciatica, and even spinal surgery. It is safe, effective, and recommended by many GPs and Neurosurgeons to help their patients.
We keep our Physio Pilates classes small to help the participants focus and allow the class instructor to assist where needed. If you have a particular health issue, let your instructor know in advance and they will advise if you should adapt any of the movements.
Having a trained physiotherapist on hand ensures that you are engaging the correct muscles and position during the class, promoting a safe and effective exercise experience.
Put simply, Pilates is suitable for Men and Women. Clinical or Physio-led Pilates provides the ideal framework that guarantees to support anyone who wants to improve and maintain their physical and mental well-being.
Pilates can be practised anywhere anytime, in fact, we strongly advise our regulars to do at least one another class or session at home during the week for that added benefit.
Pilates is suitable for all levels of fitness and can benefit many people in different ways. From people in pain or with mobility and balance problems right through to high-level performing athletes who want to prioritise keeping two or three Physio Pilates sessions per week in their training regimen.
The emphasis on correct muscle activation, breathing, and movement makes it an effective therapeutic approach, especially when led by APC Physiotherapists who have their own unique approach.
