About Us
COMPANY PROFILE
Pilates @ Brighton was established in 2002 by Melbourne Physiotherapist, Luke Goodwin. Luke has extensive physiotherapy experience in private practice and sports injury management and decided to develop a Clinical Pilates studio to assist with the rehabilitation of his clients.
Whilst there are numerous pilates studios for people to choose from, Pilates @ Brighton was established so that clients could receive expert guidance by someone fully qualified to understand their particular condition.
Unlike many pilates studios, Pilates @ Brighton ensures that each new client is fully screened for current and pre-existing injuries. This is performed during an initial one-on-one consultation.
Following this initial consultation, clients then have the choice of ongoing private sessions (1:1), or semi-private sessions (maximum of 3 people). Keeping groups to a maximum of 3 people ensures that each client receives excellent supervision, guidance and safety. This may not be achieved at other pilates studios with group classes of 15, 20, 30 or more people.
At Pilates @ Brighton, your safety and satisfaction is our number one priority.
For those clients who may require some "hands-on" physiotherapy treatment, this service is also available, along with our other services of mat pilates, pre/post natal exercise, pregnancy treatment and myotherapy.
If you have any questions about the services offered at Pilates @ Brighton, please email luke@pilatesbrighton.com.au or call the clinic directly on (03) 9591 0500.
