Take pilates to the next level

If you are looking to get more from your pilates workout, clinical pilates might be what you are looking for. 

Clinical pilates differs in that it is taught by registered physiotherapists with additional training in clinical pilates, who have an in-depth knowledge of injury, pathology, healing and movement patterns.

Essentially it infuses physiotherapy treatment into your workout for a highly individualised program. 

In sessions you learn to activate your muscles and strengthen your lower abdominals, as well as oblique, shoulder and deep neck stabilising muscles.

These stabilising muscles are then gradually challenged using traditional pilates exercises which have been modified to accommodate those with injuries and pathology.

Literature has shown evidence to support the use of clinical pilates in the management of people with injuries, particularly lower back pain.
