What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is a type of exercise therapy that is used to improve strength, flexibility, posture, and core stability. It is a form of exercise that is often used to help people recover from injuries or to manage chronic pain conditions. Clinical Pilates is different from traditional Pilates in that it is supervised by a qualified Physiotherapist or other healthcare professional. This allows the exercises to be tailored to your specific needs and goals.
PDC Health Hub Physiotherapist led Clinical Pilates
At PDC, an initial 1-hour assessment will be completed by the Physiotherapist. This session is used to gauge your fundamental stability, flexibility, movement restrictions, movement patterns and balance and coordination. The Physiotherapist will consider your medical history, previous musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions to successfully formulate a program that is addressing your individual needs. You will then commence with the classes facilitated by a Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist. During classes, your program will be overseen by our team, and you will receive guidance on how to use all equipment safely. Programs will be adjusted as identified and progressed when you have achieved your initial goal.
