Clinical Pilates is a physiotherapy led approach to rehabilitation and injury prevention. It aims to improve core strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and overall functional movement patterns while addressing specific musculoskeletal issues or injuries under the guidance of a qualified physiotherapist. Exercises are tailored to each patient’s goals and deficits. We offer this through use of Reformer, Trapeze, Matwork and a variety of weights and resistance based exercises.

Benefits of Clinical Pilates:

  • Core Strength: Clinical Pilates focuses on building core strength, which is crucial for stabilizing the spine and improving posture. A strong core helps prevent injuries and reduces lower back pain.

  • Muscle Tone and Flexibility: Through controlled movements and exercises, Clinical Pilates helps tone muscles and improve flexibility, leading to better overall body alignment and reduced risk of muscle strain.

  • Injury Rehabilitation: Clinical Pilates exercises can be tailored to target specific areas of weakness or injury. It is often used as part of rehabilitation programs for injuries such as back pain, neck pain, joint injuries, and post-surgery recovery.

  • Balance and Coordination: Clinical Pilates exercises focus on precision and control, improving balance and coordination. This can be particularly beneficial for older adults or individuals recovering from neurological conditions.

  • Pain Management: Clinical Pilates can help alleviate chronic pain conditions by strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting better body mechanics.

  • Stress Reduction: The focused, controlled movements of Clinical Pilates can have a calming effect on the mind, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
