Mend Pilates Reformer

Mend Pilates Reformer Injury-aware Reformer Pilates studio in Rochester, for long term strength and recovery. www.mendpilates.com Welcome to Mend. Come as you are. Let’s move.

Mend was born from experience — not in a yoga studio or wellness retreat, but on the job site. After years as a tradesperson, working hard and carrying the usual wear and tear that comes with physical work, our founder found relief not through rest, but through reformer pilates. It was a game-changer — easing old injuries, strengthening where it mattered, and offering a kind of movement that felt

both powerful and restorative. So began the idea for mend. — a place to share that same healing, strengthening experience with others. Now opening in the Intra part of the High Street, Mend is here to offer expert-led classes for everyone — from the Pilates-curious to seasoned movers. Whether you’re recovering, rebuilding, or just want to move well and feel good, you’re welcome here. Let’s mend.

We’ve had a few people ask about the wedges our pregnant members use during class, so here’s a quick explanation.

These are pregnancy wedges. We typically introduce them from around 20 weeks onward for exercises that involve lying on your back.

During pregnancy, lying flat on your back for extended periods can sometimes place pressure on the inferior vena cava, a major vein that helps return blood to the heart. For some people, this may reduce blood flow and lead to symptoms like dizziness or light-headedness.

Using a wedge creates a slight incline, which can help improve comfort and support more optimal positioning during supine exercises.

So whenever we’re doing movements that involve lying flat for a while, we offer the wedges as an option to help members feel more comfortable and supported.

While the physiological effects of prolonged flat-back lying in pregnancy have been documented, there is limited high-quality research on long-term outcomes, so we take a cautious, comfort-first approach.
