A Different Approach to Movement and Pain Relief

Unlike traditional strength and conditioning, which primarily focuses on building muscle mass and power, Clinical Pilates emphasizes muscle control, stabilization, and breathing.

It’s designed to re-train the core and stabilizing muscles around key joints.

This improves the body’s natural movement pattern, which is especially helpful for those dealing with chronic or long-term pain.

By using Pilates techniques, we work to correct the root causes of your pain, making it a powerful complement to traditional physiotherapy.

What’s the difference between traditional and Clinical Pilates?

Traditional Pilates is great for general fitness and strengthening, providing a balanced workout that builds core stability and flexibility. However, when it comes to specific injuries or conditions, traditional Pilates might not be ideal and often worsens issues by placing too much strain on sensitive areas.

Clinical Pilates, on the other hand, is specifically adapted for injury recovery and complex health conditions. This approach is highly individualized: a physiotherapist evaluates your injury, symptoms, and how it happened, and then tailors specific exercises to suit your needs.

This also makes Clinical Pilates especially effective for an array of complex conditions, such as:

• Hypermobility, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia

• Thoracic spine injuries and dysfunction

• Pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, erectile dysfunction

• ACL rehabilitation

• Recurrent ankle sprains

• Chronic neck, shoulder and low back pain

• Knee, hip and shoulder arthritis - to delay or prevent unnecessary joint replacements

• And much, much more!
