Understanding Mat 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 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 enjoy exercise, and we are aware of the numerous health benefits that come from regular physical activities like Mat Pilates.
The idea of trying something new, joining a class, or starting a new exercise program may seem difficult. Pilates is the perfect stepping stone to more intense exercise, an excellent way to supplement a heavy training schedule, and a fantastic way to get moving if you haven’t exercised in a while.
Whatever your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal may be, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
When is it necessary to have an assessment?
It is recommended to undergo a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment before attending our classes for the first time, regardless of any past experience in Pilates groups.
Practitioner-led Exercise Pilates can differ from 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.
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.
