Clinical Pilates Torquay – Personalised Pilates Studio
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates, also known as Exercise Pilates or mat Pilates, is conducted by a practitioner and targets enhancing body function, flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and endurance. This method involves precise and repetitive movements with an emphasis on control and stability, aiding in reducing and preventing pain from injuries, accidents, 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 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.
Regardless of your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are dedicated to guiding you through every step.
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 can differ from public and gym-based group sessions. Clinical Pilates focuses on optimal movement, breathing, and control while moving through a sequence of exercises. Like any exercise, your body will be challenged, and it is important to have sufficient control and strength to avoid 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 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 are uncertain, please reach out to a member of our friendly team for more information.
