Mat Pilates Geelong
What is Mat Pilates?
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 work to comprehend your unique goals, boost your confidence, and enhance your physical abilities. Exercises are customised to fit 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 Mat Pilates.
Trying something new, joining a class, or beginning a new exercise program can seem challenging. Pilates serves as the ideal first step towards more intense exercise, a great way to complement a rigorous training schedule, and a wonderful way to start moving again if you haven’t exercised in a while.
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 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.
An individual assessment by a physiotherapist or osteopath can examine your core stability, exercise form, and movement control to optimise your performance in each 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 are not sure, feel free to contact a member of our friendly team to find out more.
