Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility and breathing.  It is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy or other manual therapies as a means of treating a variety of injuries such as back, neck or knee issues.

Pilates is a restorative approach to exercise that builds strength from the inside out. Working on those deep postural muscles to re-balance the body, ensuring it is working more optimally across different muscle groups. Improving your body’s posture and alignment of the pelvis and spine means 30% less effort in your muscles, which is why Pilates is so effective at reducing aches and pains.
