Mobile service gives
you peace of ‘Mind’
Megan Dunphy understands
how busy women can
be, which is why she recently
launched Pilates in Mind, a mobile
service offering physiotherapy
and private small-group
Pilates in a place to suit you.
Working as a nurse before
completing a Masters in physiotherapy,
Megan spent almost
a decade in private practice,
incorporating Pilates as a
method of rehabilitation.
With additional training in
Women’s Health Physiotherapy,
Megan was seeing more
prenatal and postnatal women
in the clinic.
She explained a common
trend among these clients was
their struggle to get to appointments
due to childcare,
or being distracted with an
unsettled baby.
“Providing a mobile service
takes the hassle of travel,
child-minding, and the stress
of having an unsettled baby
in the clinic out of the mix,”
she said.
“I can come to a client’s
house at a time that suits
them where they are in their
own environment.”
Pilates is not just for pregnancy
and postnatal rehabilitation.
“Pilates is great for anyone,
everyone will benefit from it
as it can be tailored to any
fitness level, from beginner to
elite athlete,” Megan said.
Pilates strength is the role it
plays in preventing problems.
“If you can maintain your
flexibility, strength, and stability,
especially moving into
middle age and beyond, you
are less likely to sustain an
injury or fall, and more likely
to maintain your function,
lifestyle and quality of life.”
