Clinical Pilates Barwon Heads
What is Clinical Pilates?
Exercise Pilates, also known as Clinical Pilates, is ran by a practitioner and aims to improve our bodies function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance and endurance. Clinical Pilates uses selective and repetitive body movements with particular focus on control and stability and can reduce and prevent pain caused by injury, accident and overuse.
Our practitioners strive to understand your individual goals, build your confidence and ultimately improve your physical abilities. Exercises are adapted to suit your level with personalised support and technique correction provided throughout the class.
We love exercise and we all know the health benefits to be gained from regular physical activity such as Mat Pilates.
The idea of trying something new, joining a class or starting a new exercise exercise program may seem difficult. Pilates is the perfect stepping stone to more intense exercise, a great way to supplement a heavy training schedule and a super way to get moving if you haven’t exercised in a while.
No matter your fitness level, age, body shape or health goal our Clinical Pilates Instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.
When is an assessment appropriate?
It is highly recommended you have a physiotherapy or osteopathy Assessment prior to joining our classes for the first time, even if you have experience in pilates groups in the past.
Practitioner-led exercise pilates can differ to public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical pilates focuses on optimal movement, breathing and control while moving through a sequence of exercises. Like any exercise your body will be challenged and it is important to have sufficient control and strength to avoid new strains and injuries.
An individual physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment can check your core stability, exercise form and movement control to get the best out of each group class.
We may also develop a complimentary exercise program to better prepare you for classes. If you have a particular injury you are managing, seeing a physiotherapist prior to joining the group can ensure we find the right exercise for you and allows us to better support you in the class environment. However you can commence classes without assessment by completing a medical waiver.
If you are not sure, feel free contact a member of our friendly team to find our more.
