Clinical Pilates Charlemont – Personalised Pilates Studio
What does Clinical Pilates involve?
Practitioner-led Exercise Pilates or mat Pilates, also referred to as Clinical Pilates, focuses on improving bodily functions, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. This practice incorporates selective and repetitive movements with a strong focus on control and stability, which can help in relieving and preventing 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.
Our passion for exercise is matched by our understanding of the health benefits gained from regular activities such as Mat Pilates.
Starting something new, joining a class, or initiating a new exercise program might feel daunting. Pilates is an excellent introduction to more intense workouts, a great method to supplement a demanding training schedule, and a perfect way to get active if you haven’t exercised in some time.
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 should you have an assessment?
It is highly recommended that 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 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.
Having an individual physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment can assess your core stability, exercise form, and movement control to ensure you get the most out of every group class.
A complimentary exercise program may be developed to better prepare you for classes. If you are managing a specific injury, consulting a physiotherapist before joining the group can help us find the most suitable exercises for you and provide better support in the class environment. However, 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.
