UP Edu delivers evidence-based education for health professionals who use movement as a core part of care. We teach the principles behind great movement practice, applied anatomy and biomechanics, motor control, and coaching, then show you how to apply them in real clinical settings. From Pilates-based training, to strengthening and beyond, the goal is the same: build clinical capability, reduce uncertainty, and expand your options as a clinician.

  • APC-accredited

    Our Clinical Mat & Reformer Pilates course was assessed and endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Council in 2018, the only pilates course in Australia to achieve this.

  • Theory to practice

    Go beyond exercises into sequencing, cueing, touch, communication and clinical decision-making, so you can deliver movement-based care with clarity in real settings.

  • Flexible learning

    Flexible learning options with practical intensive training, as well as online resources and courses built for supported learning and continued review.

Feedback from our students:

Lauren Z.

I loved the course so much, and I'm so happy I did it. You are all incredibly knowledgeable and it shows that you're passionate about what you do. I loved how clinical reasoning was included throughout the course, with case examples frequently used when discussing exercise prescription or modifications. I loved how it was very hands on and there was opportunity to ask questions and get hands on feedback individually.

Natasha C.

Incredibly collaborative and engaging course, led by extremely knowledgeable and approachable facilitators whose passion comes across in the way they teach! Would highly recommend this course to any physiotherapists looking to expand their skillset.

Neesha S.

A fantastic engaging clinical Pilates course - Abby’s knowledge and energy was top tier! I loved the amount of exercises we covered during the course and the reference to muscle slings, and the opportunity to participate in “mini” clinical mat and reformer Pilates classes during the course!

Caroline H.

Really enjoyed how personalised this course was, I felt all the instructors were keen to allow opportunity for questions and discussion which made the environment so comfortable!

Lucy G.

Thank you so much! The course was so engaging and there were so many opportunities to practice and ask questions with educated friendly staff

Matt P.

The course is a well delivered and structured tool that I would highly recommend to any physiotherapist who wants to provide their patients with a greater repertoire of exercises.

Hannah C.

Course was well run and content was relevant and delivered at an appropriate level.

Nathan O.

As a slightly more experienced clinician, the pre course learning was quite simplistic, but I understand the main attendee may be slightly less experienced. I think at the course my concern was allayed, the facilitators were brilliant and very good at coming around and answering questions at all different levels.

Jenna S.

Fantastic course. Well prepared and great depth of contact. Lovely and insightful team!

Sarah P.

It was a great weekend i felt like i learnt a lot, and learning from a physio is great as i am not one myself but i believe there are definitely ways to which we can work together!
