SESSIONS
Just for you
Private Sessions
Private Clinical Pilates and EMMETT therapy sessions can be highly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, seeking pain relief, improving flexibility, or looking for a holistic approach to overall well-being. The combination of Pilates and EMMETT therapy can offer a comprehensive approach to address physical and mental health concerns.
At Blue Fish Pilates, our Private Clinical Pilates Sessions are individualised, hands on, holistic and tailored to you. Private Clinical Pilates Sessions are conducted in a one-on-one setting, ensuring your privacy and allowing you to feel more comfortable discussing your health concerns and moving your body without embarrassment. The combination of our expertise and range of equipment allows us to continuously adapt our approach to meet your needs and limitations. For e.g. If you cannot get up and off the ground do not stress, we have equipment high/low enough for you to get up on and off easily.
Clinical Pilates at Blue Fish Pilates is very different to a mat or reformer class. It is not a class. If your goal is to treat a chronic issue and you struggle to move without pain/discomfort, please do not worry that we will force you to “crack” a sweat and complete an “intense” workout, unless it’s what you want and your body can do it. However, most people are not here for that and require low impact, and slow and steady movements.
At Blue Fish Pilates we use a scientific and evidence based approach. The process is not linear and is experienced differently by each person. No matter what your “specific goal” is, our goal at Blue Fish Pilates is to achieve thoughtless, fearless, effortless movement for you.
We recommend you call the studio on 0437 738 322 or pop in to have a conversation. This is preferred over email or text so we can properly understand your situation/circumstance and direct you into the appropriate product.
Below is a description of what you can expect:
First Session
Your first Private Clinical Pilates Session at Blue Fish Pilates is 90 minutes (longer if required) and includes a thorough assessment and an EMMETT Therapy session.
A thorough assessment is a really good thing to do for yourself if you have never done Pilates before. At Blue Fish Pilates we want you to feel comfortable when you move, both physically and emotionally, and without embarrassment. A Medical Clearance is not necessary unless Red Flags occur, in which case one may be required. We look at your posture, balance and flexibility, take appropriate outcome measures for e.g. Blood pressure and Heart Rate, muscle test if required, take photos of your body and film your movement (Any photos or videos taken during a Private Session are completely confidential.) We listen to your health story and/or journey and establish what you want to achieve from doing Pilates. You may have an injury that you need help with, a serious health issue that requires management, by our Blue Fish Clinical Pilates Professional. They will inquire about your medical history, any medications you are currently taking, any injuries, pain, or discomfort you’re experiencing, and your personal goals. This information helps us to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. This is then followed by an EMMETT Therapy session.
Second Session
The second session is a 50 minute Emmett Therapy Session and is a follow up from your first session, which allows the Pilates Professional/Emmett Therapist the chance to reinforce the positive changes already made to the body.
Third Session & ongoing
Blue Fish Pilates Private sessions are for ongoing management of injuries, conditions and illnesses. They include or comprise of Clinical Pilates only, EMMETT therapy only, Self Myofascial only or a combination of all three modalities.
Clinical Pilates Component
Blue Fish Pilates Private sessions are for ongoing management of injuries, conditions and illnesses using world class Pilates Studio Equipment – the Reformer, the Ladder Barrel/Spine Corrector/Arc Barrel, the Wonder/Stability chair, Cadillac , Rehab Reformer, a variety of Pilates Props, and myofascial releasing tools.
Your Pilates professional will prescribe exercises using this equipment to reduce tension, relieve discomfort and to strengthen, stretch and bring balance to your body to meet your personal goals and needs. Our staff will guide you through a series of Pilates exercises tailored to your condition and goals.
EMMETT Therapy Component
EMMETT therapy is a unique bodywork technique that uses light touch and gentle muscle releases. EMMETT therapy employs specific pressure points and moves to ease muscle tension and improve body balance.
EMMETT therapy aims to release muscle tension and improve the function of muscle groups. It can help with pain management, relaxation, and better range of motion.
For a more detailed explanation please see Emmett Therapy below.
Self Myofascial Releasing (SMR) Component
SMR is like having an Emmett session or a massage but you do it to yourself using rollers, spiky balls, physio knuckles or other tools. It is the ultimate self-care. You place spiky balls, rollers or other tools on specific muscle groups, Emmett Therapy points or trigger points and apply pressure (this could be pushing or rolling on the muscles).
At Blue Fish Pilates we combine SMR with Clinical Pilates exercises to help release tension in muscles and connective tissue surrounding them (fascia). This is The Blue Fish Pilates difference. SMR reduces muscle and joint stiffness which can improve discomfort and fatigue. This helps to relax the body and can improve your range of motion, making it easier to move.
At Blue Fish Pilates we teach you SMR so you are able to help yourself when your body is experiencing discomfort and or pain and you desperately need help. Sure Emmett therapy is amazing, but when you are on holiday or need help in the middle of the night or when the studio is closed you need a way to help yourself. We want you to want us not need us.

Emmett Therapy
Emmett Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive bodywork technique developed by Ross Emmett in Australia. It is designed to relax the body, improve balance, and address muscular tension, pain, and discomfort. The therapy involves the application of light pressure and precise finger movements on specific points and muscle groups, similar to acupuncture but using fingertips instead of needles or cupping. Treatments can be performed while you are fully clothed, although some garments may need to be removed or loosened. While individual experiences may vary, relief is often instantaneous, especially when it is reinforced with Clinical Pilates exercises.
At Blue Fish Pilates, our Emmett Therapist is a clinically trained Pilates professional. We utilize a combination of techniques—Emmett Therapy and Clinical Pilates—to achieve optimal results. Our therapist is skilled at quickly assessing the body and adapting the treatment to meet your individual needs, ensuring client comfort and effective outcomes.
Emmett Therapy is frequently sought after for its ability to provide relief from various musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, postural problems, lymphatic congestion, breathing concerns, migraines/cluster headaches, fluid retention, abdominal cramps, bladder and bowel discomfort, jaw issues, and much more! Its simplicity and adaptability make it suitable for individuals of all ages and physical conditions.
Emmett Therapy at Blue Fish Pilates can be conducted while sitting, standing, lying face down, or on your back. We may also use heat, cold packs, or a cool damp cloth as needed to enhance your comfort.
For optimal healing, we recommend two Emmett sessions with a few days in between visits to give your body the best chance to heal. Emmett is truly a gift that keeps on giving, as the body continues to process the effects for about 48 hours after a session. The second session serves as a follow-up, allowing the therapist to reinforce the positive changes already made.
