Clinical Pilates Mount Duneed – Personalised Pilates Studio
Understanding Clinical 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 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.
Determining the need for 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.
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.
If you are uncertain, please reach out to a member of our friendly team for more information.
