Pilates at Active Health Clinic

At Active Health Clinic, we offer a specialized Pilates program designed to relieve back pain, improve posture, and restore mobility. Backed by research, Pilates has proven effective in reducing chronic back pain by strengthening core muscles, enhancing flexibility, and supporting spinal alignment.

Our personalized Pilates sessions are conducted to ensure close supervision and tailored guidance. Sessions take place on the Reformer, one-on-one or in duo: the studio is equipped with two Reformers, so you can train alone with the instructor or share the session with a partner. Each program is adapted to the patient's condition and level, helping to reduce pain, prevent relapses, and improve long-term spinal health.

With one-on-one attention in an intimate setting, our Pilates for back pain program helps patients move confidently, build strength safely, and regain control of their well-being.

Reformer Pilates in Beirut, guided by an expert instructor

Pilates at Active Health Clinic is taught by Annie Blanco Zakka, one of Lebanon's well-known Pilates instructors. Our Pilates studio in Achrafieh, Beirut is equipped with two Reformers, and every session is private: you train one-on-one with the instructor or in duo with a partner, never in a crowded class.

Who is Pilates for?

Reformer Pilates in Beirut attracts a wide range of people, and our studio welcomes them all: office workers who spend long days sitting and want to undo the effects on their posture, people with recurring back pain looking for a safe way to strengthen their core, beginners who prefer learning the method with individual guidance, and experienced practitioners who want precise, supervised progression. Because every session is adapted to your condition and level, no prior experience is needed.

What happens in a Pilates session?

Each session takes place on the Reformer and combines controlled movement, breathing, and core stability work. The instructor selects and adjusts every exercise to your body and goals, with close supervision throughout. Over the weeks, the program progresses gradually: deeper core strength, better spinal alignment, improved flexibility, and more confident movement in daily life.

Pilates as part of your overall health

Because the studio is part of a multidisciplinary clinic, Pilates at Active Health connects naturally with the rest of your care: it is an excellent way to maintain the gains made in physiotherapy or osteopathy, and a lasting wellness habit for posture, mobility, and core strength.
