Resistance Pilatchi is a mindful, low-impact form of movement that uses bands secured to your hands and feet to create steady resistance while you move through a continuous, flowing routine. Created by UK physiotherapist Sean Searight, it blends Pilates strength work with the slow, controlled flow of Tai Chi, built on physiotherapy rehabilitation principles. There is no jumping, no high-impact movement and no aggressive loading. Most exercises are performed standing, which makes it a practical option for anyone who finds mat work uncomfortable due to injury, age-related conditions or hypermobility. It is also a good fit for arthritic joints. Expect to work on strength (including your core), balance, posture, coordination and proprioception, all to soft background music. Because the bands are attached via gloves and foot straps rather than gripped, there is less strain on wrists and fingers and tension stays consistent throughout the movement. All instructors and physiotherapists teaching Pilatchi at Physio on the River are fully trained, certified and CIMSPA registered. We provide all equipment, and take-home kits are available if you would like to practise between classes.
