Clinical Pilates Torquay North – Personalised Pilates Studio
Introduction to 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.
Exercise is our passion, and we recognise the health benefits that regular physical activity like Clinical Pilates can provide.
Starting something new, joining a class, or initiating a new exercise program might feel daunting. Pilates is an excellent introduction to more intense workouts, a great method to supplement a demanding training schedule, and a perfect way to get active if you haven’t exercised in some time.
No matter your fitness level, age, body shape, or health goal, our Clinical Pilates Instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.
Determining the need for an assessment
It is highly recommended that you have a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment prior to joining our classes for the first time, even if you have experience in Pilates groups in the past.
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.
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.
