In this episode of the podcast we're speaking with PAA President Robyn Rix to dive into the report from the Natural Therapies Review, specifically as it relates to Pilates.

In March 2025 Robyn Rix, PAA President was interviewed by Tom Elliot on 3AW. He wished to see if she could convince him to try a Pilates class. He asked questions about the cardiovascular benefits (of course), how Pilates works and whether he should give up other exercise and only do Pilates.
