Clinical Pilates
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the body while improving flexibility, posture and control. It works on the connection between mind and body, with particular emphasis on the core muscles that support the spine.
Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, the method has evolved into a widely used approach within Physiotherapy. Today, it is commonly used to help restore movement, reduce pain and prevent future injury.
Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat or using specialist equipment. Movements are controlled and precise, helping to improve strength, mobility and overall body awareness.
What makes Clinical Pilates different?
Clinical Pilates is an adapted form of traditional Pilates, designed specifically for people recovering from injury, managing pain or dealing with long-term conditions.
Unlike traditional Pilates, which often requires a higher level of strength and flexibility, Clinical Pilates is tailored to suit all abilities. Exercises are modified to meet your individual needs, making it a safe and effective way to exercise during rehabilitation.
Led by Physiotherapists, Clinical Pilates combines expert knowledge of the body with targeted exercise, allowing you to build strength and confidence as you recover.
