Mat Pilates Queenscliff
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 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.
We love exercise and we all know the health benefits to be gained from regular physical activity such as Mat Pilates.
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.
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.
Exercise Pilates, under the guidance of a practitioner, differs from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates prioritises optimal movement, breathing, and control while performing a sequence of exercises. Like any exercise, it will challenge your body, and maintaining sufficient control and strength is important 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 unsure, feel free to contact a member of our friendly team for further details.
