Mat Pilates Swan Bay
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.
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.
Whatever your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal may be, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
Determining the need for 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 physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment can check your core stability, exercise form, and movement control to get the best out of each group class.
We may create a complimentary exercise program to better prepare you for classes. If you are dealing with a particular injury, seeing a physiotherapist before joining the group can ensure we select the right exercises for you and offer better support in the class environment. However, you can begin classes without an 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.
