Clinical Pilates Collendina – Personalised Pilates Studio
Understanding Clinical Pilates
Exercise Pilates, also known as Clinical Pilates or mat Pilates, is run by a practitioner and aims to improve bodily function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. It uses selective and repetitive body movements with a particular focus on control and stability, helping to 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 Clinical 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.
Determining the need for 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.
Exercise Pilates, led by a practitioner, differs from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates emphasises optimal movement, breathing, and control as you progress through a series of exercises. As with any exercise, your body will be challenged, and it is crucial to maintain control and strength to prevent 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.
We may create a complimentary exercise program to better prepare you for classes. If you are dealing with a particular injury, seeing a physiotherapist before joining the group can ensure we select the right exercises for you and offer better support in the class environment. However, you can begin 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.
