Pilates is not just for women. Us blokes also benefit from this wonderful form of exercise too. I have been attending Pilates at Central Coast Physiolates for almost 5 years and I can honestly say that my joints and mobility have benefited. Recently I underwent major foot surgery. I have no doubt that Pilates and Physiotherapy with Tara and her amazing team prior to, and when I was able to, after my surgery, aided and accelerated the recovery process. There are wonderful, knowledgeable, and highly skilled Physiotherapists, and Massage Therapists in Tara’s team who holistically provide fantastic treatment and advice.
