Clinical Pilates Queenscliff – Personalised Pilates Studio
What does Clinical Pilates involve?
Exercise Pilates, also known as Clinical Pilates or mat Pilates, is run by a practitioner and aims to improve bodily function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. It uses selective and repetitive body movements with a particular focus on control and stability, helping to reduce and prevent pain caused by 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.
We love exercise and we all know the health benefits to be gained from regular physical activity such as Clinical Pilates.
The idea of trying something new, joining a class, or starting a new exercise program may seem difficult. Pilates is the perfect stepping stone to more intense exercise, an excellent way to supplement a heavy training schedule, and a fantastic way to get moving 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.
When should you have an assessment?
We strongly advise having a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment before joining our classes for the first time, even if you have previously participated in 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.
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.
