Clinical Pilates Clifton Springs – 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 endeavour to understand your specific goals, increase your confidence, and improve your physical abilities. Exercises are adjusted to match your level, and personalised support and technique correction are provided during 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.
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 an assessment appropriate?
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.
Exercise Pilates, under the guidance of a practitioner, differs from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates prioritises optimal movement, breathing, and control while performing a sequence of exercises. Like any exercise, it will challenge your body, and maintaining sufficient control and strength is important 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 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 have any doubts, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our friendly team to learn more.
