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. This review came  with a recommendation that Pilates, along with six other natural therapies,  should again be eligible for health fund  rebates, as was the case prior to April 2019.This review has been keenly anticipated by PAA members, and we know there's  a lot of interest in understanding its outcomes.
