Clinical Pilates Swan Bay – Personalised Pilates Studio
Introduction to Clinical Pilates
Practitioner-led Exercise Pilates or mat Pilates, also referred to as Clinical Pilates, focuses on improving bodily functions, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. This practice incorporates selective and repetitive movements with a strong focus on control and stability, which can help in relieving and preventing 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 thought of trying something new, joining a class, or commencing a new exercise program can be intimidating. Clinical 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.
Regardless of your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are dedicated to guiding you through every step.
When is it necessary to 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.
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.
A complimentary exercise program may be developed to better prepare you for classes. If you are managing a specific injury, consulting a physiotherapist before joining the group can help us find the most suitable exercises for you and provide better support in the class environment. However, you can start classes without an assessment by completing a medical waiver.
