Clinical Pilates 

 

 

Clinical Pilates is a system of safe and effective exercises which meet your specific individual needs.Clinical Pilates is used by our physiotherapists to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions, ranging from low back pain and chronic pain to hypermobility and chronic fatigue syndrom.

​

This powerful method is currently revolutionising the way Physiotherapists & Exercise Physiologists prevent and rehabilitate injuries. Clinical Pilates is a system of exercises that integrates the traditional Pilates Method with modern research into musculoskeletal dysfunction.

 

One of the main differences between Yoga and Pilates is that Yoga can be used for improving the flexibility of the body and it will also gradually increase the flexibility of your joints. Whereas Pilates focuses on trying to relax muscles which are tense and provide strengthening of the numerous muscles of the body.

What is Clinical Pilates?

​

Every person’s biomechanics and movement patterning are all slightly different. All sports and work require different skills and muscle activation. When it comes to injury prevention and skill development every persons needs are slightly different.

 

Does  Clinical Pilates work?

 

 Clinical Pilates is a form of physical exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, strength, balance, control, flexibility and breathing. Pilates works to improve the dynamic stability of the spine, which in turn transfers functional strength through to your limbs, as well as improving your posture.

 

With Pilates, you train the core muscles around your spine. The focus of Pilates is solely on you and we will make sure that you are maintaining the best technique possible.

With that you can recover from your condition as soon as possible. Pilates exercises are aimed at the appropriate level for you and your pain and are progressed when possible and tolerated.
