“Are you favouring one side of your body without realising it?”
Many people don’t notice that they rely more on their dominant side (right or left) when lifting, carrying, reaching, exercising or even standing. Over time this can lead to:

- one-sided tightness or weakness

- altered posture or gait

- higher chance of overuse injuries on the dominant side

- the non-dominant side being under-trained, which limits performance or can delay recovery

At Soulitude Health, we explore both sides — assessing movement, strength and control of your non-dominant side to build balance, resilience and full-body strength. Whether you’re in a Pilates class, a remedial massage session or seeing one of our exercise physiologist and physiotherapists, we’ll help you bridge the imbalance — giving you freedom to move with confidence, whatever your goal.

What is an Exercise Physiologist?

An Exercise Physiologist (EP) is a university-trained professional who uses exercise as medicine to improve your health, fitness, and overall well-being.

Unlike walking into the gym and guessing your way through a workout, an EP provides structure, safety, and motivation — helping you exercise with purpose, confidence, and results.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a health condition, or just wanting to move and feel better, our Exercise Physiologists are here to guide you every step of the way.

💪 Pilates Explained: Mat vs. Reformer – Which is right for you?

Pilates is one of the best ways to build core strength, improve posture, and prevent injuries 🌿. But should you choose Mat Pilates or Reformer Pilates?

✨ Mat Pilates

Uses your body weight + small equipment

Builds stability, balance, and control

Perfect for beginners and those wanting a foundation they can practice anywhere

✨ Reformer Pilates

Uses a spring-loaded reformer bed

Adds resistance for deeper strength and mobility

Great for injury rehab, athletic performance, or those wanting an extra challenge

Both are excellent — it just depends on your goals and preferences. At Soulitude Health, we offer both Mat and Reformer Pilates, so you can find the style that works best for your body.

📅 Book a class or ask our team which option is right for you.
