Movement is medicine
Pilates is a full-body, low-impact exercise system that promotes strength, stability, flexibility, posture, balance, control, awareness and alignment; ultimately helping you move with greater ease and fluidity in everyday life.
Joseph Pilates 1883-1967
Originally named “Contrology’, the Pilates method was invented in the early 20th century by German physical trainer, Joseph Pilates. The Pilates system is taught in many countries worldwide.
Exercises are often performed on a mat or on specialised equipment, such as: the Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze Table or Stability chair, all of which use springs to create resistance through the full range of motion, without stressing the joints.
Prehab is a boutique Pilates studio, in a private and peaceful setting.

“I have been attending Pilates with Sarah for a long time. I find my classes to be challenging and informative – challenging in that I don’t do the same every week, and informative, as I am constantly amazed at the new exercises Sarah presents to keep me interested and working in new ways. She works with my immediate limitations while pushing me to get better every class”
“My daughter found her ‘happy place’ when she started attending Pulse Pilates. Sarah got to know and understand my daughter, creating a calm, quiet atmosphere to help look after her whole body. Pulse Pilates has helped my daughter both mentally and physically.”
“I have been training with Sarah at her studio for five years. Yesterday was my second online session with Sarah and it was amazing.
I used my own basic equipment. Sarah was able to work me hard by adapting exercises that I would normally do in the studio, to suit my home equipment. Sarah was able to give me lots of correction with her view from my device, and knows how to push me to get the best from me, even in my home workspace. She was still quick to spot if I wasn’t doing something correctly! Thanks Sarah”
