Clinical Pilates
Overview
What is clinical Pilates? How does it differ from regular Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is an advanced form of Pilates training that is meant to target specific injuries or pain and provide an individual treatment plan. When you walk into a “regular” Pilates class, you will most likely experience a generalised exercise program that is meant to increase overall strength and stability. When you walk into a Clinical Pilates consultation, you can expect a detailed assessment from a trained physiotherapist.
Having an individualised treatment plan can be very beneficial when recovering from injury or surgery. It is also particularly helpful both before and after pregnancy, since it tends to target the deep core.
Clinical Pilates can help Treat:
- Pre & Post Natal
- Back & Neck Pain
- Pelvic Floor Strength
- Posture Correction
- Chronic Pain
- Diastasis Recti
- Sports Injury
- Acute Pain
