Mat Pilates Port Arlington
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 strive to understand your individual goals, build your confidence, and ultimately improve your physical abilities. Exercises are adapted to suit your level, with personalised support and technique correction provided throughout the class.
Exercise is our passion, and we recognise the health benefits that regular physical activity like Mat 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.
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 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 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.
Having an individual physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment can assess your core stability, exercise form, and movement control to ensure you get the most out of every 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 not sure, feel free to contact a member of our friendly team to find out more.
