Clinical Pilates

Pilates is a mind/body conditioning exercise programme, which targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall central core stability and posture. It considers the body as a whole; to restore and teach correct posture and movement.

Clinical Pilates is useful for anyone interested in improving their total fitness, posture and wellbeing. It is particularly useful for those with chronic back and neck pain, and in those with sports injuries as a result of muscle imbalance.

Benefits of Pilates

• tones abdominal muscles

• improves posture

• prevents injury

• balances strength and flexibility

• enhances body awareness

• enhances athletic performance

• relieves stress and tension

• heightens concentration

Pilates addresses underlying structural imbalances in the body which can create on-going pain and difficulty with movement. Using gravity, breath and resistance, Pilates uses whole body movement targeting specific muscle groups to re-educate movement patterns and rebalance the underlying muscular and structural systems in the body.

Pilates can be beneficial for anyone, regardless of age, ability or fitness level. Regular practitioners feel a heightened sense of awareness and ease in their bodies, experiencing less pain and increased mobility. Our specialist physiotherapists can work with you on a one-to-one basis, in the clinic, or in small groups as part of a Pilates class.
