Mick Bokyoung Cho

Level VInstructor

Mick holds a degree in physiotherapy and served as lead physiotherapist at the 2015 Asian Women’s Junior Handball Championship. He brings that clinical understanding of the body into every Pilates session — which means the exercises he chooses aren’t just safe for your condition, they’re chosen specifically because of it.

Mick works with clients managing chronic back pain, recovering from joint replacement surgery, dealing with disc injuries, and rebuilding strength after illness or long periods of inactivity. His approach bridges the gap between “cleared by physio” and “actually moving well again” — translating clinical rehab into the longer-term work of rebuilding whole-body strength, coordination, and confidence.

Questions & Answers

Here are some questions answered by Mick about Pilates.

What’s your background?

I hold a degree in physiotherapy and served as lead physiotherapist at the 2015 Asian Women’s Junior Handball Championship, working with elite athletes under real competitive pressure. That combination — clinical training plus high-performance sport — shapes how I work. I understand both how to rehabilitate an injured body safely and how to rebuild it toward genuine strength and function, not just the absence of pain.

Who do you work best with?

I hold a degree in physiotherapy and served as lead physiotherapist at the 2015 Asian Women’s Junior Handball Championship, working with elite athletes under real competitive pressure. That combination — clinical training plus high-performance sport — shapes how I work. I understand both how to rehabilitate an injured body safely and how to rebuild it toward genuine strength and function, not just the absence of pain.

What does a first session with you look like?

Watching how you move tells me far more than an MRI report or a list of symptoms — I’m looking at how your body compensates, where it’s guarding, and what’s safe to load right now. From there I map a system that addresses the root cause rather than just the painful area. You’ll leave the first session understanding your own body better, and with a clear sense of what we’re building toward and what to avoid.

How is what you do different from physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is typically focused on acute injury rehabilitation and restoring basic function, and it does that well. Pilates picks up where physio leaves off — rebuilding whole-body movement quality, strength, and coordination over a longer timeline. With me you get someone who understands both sides: I can translate your physio notes into a Pilates system that makes sure nothing falls through the gap between being cleared and actually moving well again.

How honest will you be about whether this is helping?

Completely. Most clients notice something meaningful within three to five sessions — not necessarily that pain is gone, but that they understand their body better and move with less fear. Significant functional change usually unfolds over ten to twenty sessions.
