Clinical Pilates Leopold – 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 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 Clinical Pilates can provide.
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.
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 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 varies from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates centres on optimal movement, breathing, and control during a sequence of exercises. Similar to other exercises, your body will be challenged, making it essential to have adequate 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.
A complimentary exercise program might be developed to better prepare you for classes. If you have a specific injury, consulting a physiotherapist before joining the group can help us choose the right exercises for you and provide better support in the class environment. Nevertheless, you can start classes without an assessment by completing a medical waiver.
