Your journey to understanding your body starts here
At SOOM Pilates, your Initial Consultation is more than just a first class – it's a comprehensive clinical assessment designed to uncover the root cause of your movement patterns and pain. This is where real results begin.
Why an Initial Consultation with SOOM Pilates?
Discover what makes our approach to understanding your body truly unique and effective.
Body Analysis/assessment
We combine Pilates principles with an RN background for decisions based on reasoning, not routine. This is a structured postural analysis, not just a workout.
Root-cause analysis
Instead of only focusing on where it hurts, we assess movement patterns, alignment, and compensation strategies to identify why the issue exists.
Multi-layered analysis
From static posture to dynamic movement, muscle activation, control, and coordination – we provide a systems-level assessment for a complete understanding.
Who benefits most from an Initial Consultation?
Our comprehensive assessment is designed for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their body and a truly personalised path to movement and wellness.
For those with pain or recurring injuries
If you experience chronic back, hip, neck, or shoulder pain, or have injuries that keep returning, our root-cause analysis is for you. We don't just treat symptoms; we identify and address the underlying issues for lasting relief.
For active individuals and beginners
Whether you're an athlete with a performance plateau, a postnatal client, or new to Pilates seeking a clear foundation, our consultation provides the individualised alignment-based training and strategic plan you need. No more guessing – just precise, effective movement.
What to expect during your Initial Consultation
Your Initial Consultation is a thorough, personalised experience designed to give you clarity and a clear path forward.
1. Intake and goal setting
We begin with a detailed discussion of your medical history, injuries, current symptoms, lifestyle, and training background. Together, we'll establish clear, realistic goals to ensure the session is context-driven and tailored to you.
2. Postural assessment
A thorough static assessment of your alignment, including spine, pelvis, and shoulder positioning, weight distribution, and asymmetries. This identifies visible imbalances and structural tendencies.
3. Movement analysis
You'll be guided through selected movements to assess joint mobility, control, muscle activation, coordination, and compensation patterns. This reveals how your body actually functions in motion.
4. Key findings and education
You'll receive clear explanations of what's happening in your body and why certain issues or pain may exist. You leave with clarity, not confusion.
5. Personalised program direction
We'll outline priority areas to focus on and a tailored training strategy moving forward – your individual roadmap for progress and sustainable results.
