What is Mat Pilates?
Clinical Pilates, also known as Exercise Pilates or mat Pilates, is conducted by a practitioner and targets enhancing body function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. This method involves precise and repetitive movements with an emphasis on control and stability, aiding in reducing and preventing pain from injuries, accidents, 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.
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.
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 is it necessary to have an assessment?
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 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 also develop a complimentary exercise program to better prepare you for classes. If you have a particular injury you are managing, seeing a physiotherapist prior to joining the group can ensure we find the right exercise for you and allows us to better support you in the class environment. However, you can commence classes without assessment by completing a medical waiver.
If you are uncertain, please reach out to a member of our friendly team for more information.
