Clinical Pilates For Recovery

Clinical Pilates for Recovery is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on posture, flexibility, muscle strength, balance and control. It is used for rehabilitation from injuries, pre/post-operative & chronic pain management, and also antenatal and postnatal women. It is a safe and effective treatment for people of all ages, abilities and injuries, and can be used in combination with physiotherapy treatments or as an individual class.

Our Physiotherapists are highly skilled in selecting the exercises and methods that will best aid in your recovery, and help you to build core strength and improve stability and posture – key factors in injury prevention and reducing long-term pain. Unlike regular Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates is designed to be performed under the supervision of an expert physiotherapist and to address your specific needs.

Clinical Pilates for Recovery: Proven Methods for Long-Term Wellness

A distinguishing feature of Clinical Pilates is the focus on developing even strength on both sides of your body. It is a mindful approach to movement and encourages a strong mind-body connection, helping you to better recognise how your body moves and responds.

A significant benefit of the Clinical Pilates exercise method is its use of directional preference to manage chronic low back pain (LBP). In contrast, general exercise strategies such as aerobic training and resistance training often require a longer intervention period to achieve clinical outcomes in LBP, such as pain reduction and improved function. The Clinical Pilates exercise method leverages the directional preference of the patient to achieve these early clinical outcomes.
