Pilates is a form of exercise developed in the 1920’s by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates for rehabilitation purposes. It focuses on improving flexibility, strength and body awareness through precise and controlled movements. Over time, the original work of Joseph Pilates has been modified and modernised to address the need for specific and effective medically and scientifically based exercise therapy.

Often pain and symptoms are reduced with Physiotherapy treatments.  However, if there is an underlying imbalance or weakness in your body, your pain and symptoms are likely to return.

Clinical exercise is a method which adopts a scientific approach to rehabilitating an injury, improving posture, balance, core strength and flexibility. Our clinical exercise sessions are an integration of rehabilitative exercises with Pilates inspired movements. Utilising our large Pilates equipment and small equipment, we can have you performing exercises with the amount of resistance and effort most suitable to your current situation.

As each program is individualised, our clinical exercises classes are suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. You will be working on your own exercises and own program, under close supervision and instruction by a physiotherapist.

Firstly, we explain the principals of Pilates and teach your key introductory exercises. A physiotherapist is there to help you with the exercises, using the equipment and refining technique. We guide and progress your program as you build confidence.
To gain the most from the classes, like most other forms of exercise, you need to do a series of classes over a period of time. Clinical exercise sessions are one hour long, once per week. There is an option to attend twice per week if you prefer. We keep our class sizes small, so we can assist you to perform the exercises correctly for your individual body and ensure you are getting the most out of your class.
