Mat Pilates Leopold
Introduction to Mat Pilates
Conducted by a practitioner, Exercise Pilates, also known as Clinical Pilates or Mat Pilates, aims to enhance body function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. It employs selective and repetitive movements with a focus on control and stability, helping to reduce and prevent pain resulting from injury, accident, and overuse.
Our practitioners aim to grasp your personal goals, enhance your confidence, and improve your physical capabilities. The exercises are tailored to your level, and personalised support and technique correction are offered 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.
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 should you have an assessment?
We highly suggest having a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment prior to your first class with us, even if you have prior experience with Pilates groups.
Practitioner-led Exercise Pilates can differ from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates focuses on optimal movement, breathing, and control while moving through a sequence of exercises. Like any exercise, your body will be challenged, and it is important to have sufficient control and strength to avoid new strains and injuries.
A personal physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment can evaluate your core stability, exercise form, and movement control to maximise the benefits of 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.
