Pilates Freshwater Creek – Mat Pilates Studio
What does Mat 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 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.
Exercise is our passion, and we recognise the health benefits that regular physical activity like Mat Pilates can provide.
The thought of trying something new, joining a class, or commencing a new exercise program can be intimidating. Pilates is the ideal stepping stone to more intense exercise, an excellent supplement to a heavy training routine, and a great way to get moving if you’ve been inactive for a while.
Regardless of your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are dedicated to guiding you through every step.

When is an assessment appropriate?
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.
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.
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 are uncertain, please reach out to a member of our friendly team for more information.
