Clinical Pilates Bellarine – Personalised Pilates Studio
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates, also known as Exercise Pilates or mat Pilates, is conducted by a practitioner and targets enhancing body function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. This method involves precise and repetitive movements with an emphasis on control and stability, aiding in reducing and preventing pain from injuries, accidents, and overuse.
Our practitioners aim to grasp your personal goals, enhance your confidence, and improve your physical capabilities. The exercises are tailored to your level, and personalised support and technique correction are offered during the class.
Our passion for exercise is matched by our understanding of the health benefits gained from regular activities such as Mat Pilates.
Trying something new, joining a class, or beginning a new exercise program can seem challenging. Pilates serves as the ideal first step towards more intense exercise, a great way to complement a rigorous training schedule, and a wonderful way to start moving again if you haven’t exercised in a while.
Whether your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are here to assist you through every step of the journey.
When is it necessary to have an assessment?
We strongly advise having a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment before joining our classes for the first time, even if you have previously participated in Pilates groups.
Practitioner-led Exercise Pilates varies from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates centres on optimal movement, breathing, and control during a sequence of exercises. Similar to other exercises, your body will be challenged, making it essential to have adequate control and strength to prevent 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.
A complimentary exercise program might be developed to better prepare you for classes. If you have a specific injury, consulting a physiotherapist before joining the group can help us choose the right exercises for you and provide better support in the class environment. Nevertheless, you can start classes without an assessment by completing a medical waiver.
If you are unsure, feel free to contact a member of our friendly team for further details.
