Mat Pilates Point Lonsdale
What does Mat Pilates involve?
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 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.
Our passion for exercise is matched by our understanding of the health benefits gained from regular activities such as Mat Pilates.
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.
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 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 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 have any doubts, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our friendly team to learn more.
