Clinical Pilates Toowoomba

Rachel Niemann in her Clinical Pilates Studio

Not just another reformer Pilates class

Clinical Pilates is incredible (IMO).

Especially when delivered by an Exercise Physiologist like me!

It is low impact, supported and appropriate for any age and fitness level. 

From pelvic health, to persistent pain, to hypermobility, stiffness or any musculoskeletal concerns.

Clinical Pilates has your back.

Literally.

“Finding Rachel at Ebb & Flow was a game changer”

Are you ready to try real Pilates? 

Clinical Pilates with me will have you:

💚 Standing taller and feeling more aligned

💚 Finding movement you thought you’d lost

💚 Managing and even improving your prolapse symptoms

💚 Exercising without pain flares

💚 Feeling stable in your joints including your spine

💚 Laughing, sneezing and coughing without crossing your legs

💚 Feeling agile and strong

💚 Improving your balance

💚 Connecting with your pelvic floor and core through pregnancy & postpartum

💚 Enjoying a form of exercise that leaves you feeling energised, not exhausted

Clinical Pilates is not limited to a reformer.

And it does not (as a rule) involve dumbbells, or keeping up with a fast paced class.

Not on my watch.

Rachel doing Reformer Pilates

Hey, I’m Rach, your exercise physiologist next door.

I love Pilates.
As in, real Pilates ;-)

Shhhhhh….. don’t tell anyone, but I’m not a fan of large group reformer classes.

Why?

Because, at best, they don’t cater to individual needs or provide the progression (or regression) people need.

At worst, they can lean to chronic pain and injury.

Yep, I’ll say it how it is

Who it’s for.

For women who:

🩷Want to practice Pilates with an Allied Health Professional

🩷 Are constantly worried about leaking urine, gas or faeces

🩷 Want to be able to participate fully in sport and exercise again

🩷 Feel stiff or achy

🩷 Want a full body workout that is low impact.

Who it’s not for.

Men— babes only sorry

Kind Words

  • After getting nowhere with other allied health professionals, I found Rachel at Ebb & Flow Exercise Physiology—and it was a game-changer. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for. Rachel’s initial consultation was the most thorough I’ve ever experienced, and that level of detail gave me real confidence that we were finally going to get to the bottom of my concerns.

    What really sets Rachel apart is not just her expertise, but her warmth and sense of humour. She creates an environment that’s both professional and relaxed, which made me feel at ease and actually look forward to each session. And let’s not forget Max and Hugo—her two gorgeous dogs—who add an extra layer of joy to the experience. Their gentle presence and wagging tails always made my day a little brighter.

    I’ve come a long way since starting with Rachel. While I won’t go into clinical details, I feel stronger and more informed than I did before. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and genuinely lovely exercise physiologist

  • As someone who works in the Allied Health Industry myself, when the need arises to refer my clients to other health professionals it is very important to me to have a practitioner I know and trust to look after them.

    Without hesitation I confidently refer them to Rachel as an Exercise Physiologist. I have personally used her services and found her knowledge and techniques brilliant. Her expertise is extensive, and her approach is both professional and welcoming. I thoroughly recommend her.

  • Rachel is fantastic! She is thorough in her assessment and really makes the effort to understand the cause of symptoms where other allied health practitioners have just shrugged it off. Strongly recommend!

    — Annabel F.

  • I can’t thank Rachel from Ebb & Flow Exercise Physiology enough! She truly listened and got to the heart of my issue. Rachel created a simple yet effective individualised exercise program to strengthen my Pelvic Floor, Core, and hip stability, and I already feel confident that I’ll be in top condition for the 100km walk I’m planning later this year.
    Her clinic is warm and welcoming, and her two adorable sausage dogs make the sessions even more enjoyable.
    I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for expert help with core and hip stability. Her approach is thoughtful, professional, and results-driven.

    -Katie Z

  • I have been seeing Rachel at Ebb and Flow for approx 6 months. She provides excellent and easy to understand one on one support. Rachel has helped me understand how specific muscles work and structures my sessions for maximum benefit.
    Additionally she has provided online resources for regular at home exercises sessions for me between one on one appointments.
    Rachel is helping me to improve my health and lifestyle. She also has a vast knowledge of ways to improve women's health.
    I would definitely recommend Rachel to potential clients.

  • As an exercise physiologist, I focus on movement, exercise and education to treat or help you manage your musculoskeletal health.

    This includes a whole body focus, rather than just looking at one area, condition or concern.

    After all, your body works as one entity most of the time!

    While it is outside my scope to diagnose or perform manual therapy, I still perform tests, assessments and use my hands to assess or guide you in your movements.

  • Not without a prior conversation regarding suitability for my services and place of business.

  • No, you do not.

    But you may be able to access a referral from your GP under a management plan if your pelvic floor dysfunction is chronic or you have another chronic condition such as low back pain.

    This would qualify you for up to 5 sessions per calendar year, where you can claim a medicare rebate.
