Pilates

What Is Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a form of Pilates that focuses on posture, core strengthening, balance, control, strength, flexibility and breathing. It is often used in conjunction with physical therapy to help with rehabilitation after injury or surgery. It is particularly effective in resolving chronic low back pain through strengthening and retraining core/stabilisation muscles to support your spine and posture.
Clinical Pilates is advocated for many injuries and types of pain along with general health and wellbeing. Its diversity is evident, being used by clinicians and individuals from all around the world, including elite athletes and performers.
At Active Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy, our Group Clinical Pilates classes are mat based and use equipment such as fitballs, hand weights, theraband and exercise balls. Classes are kept small for continuity of care for each of our patients and to provide effective guidance by one of our Physiotherapists.

Why It Works

Clinical Pilates works by performing a program of exercises that strengthen your deep abdominal, spinal and pelvic floor muscles as well as the hip and pelvic muscles. It helps the patient restore normal movement patterns and timing of muscle activation for improved efficiency of body movement.

Clinical Pilates is functional, targeted and individualised rehabilitation that is effective for reducing pain, disability and improving function. Exercises are instructed by one of our trained Physiotherapists who understands how this form of training aids in injury and healing

Client Testimonials

Zoe Rowell

I always have a wonderful experience when visiting! The reception staff are always super-helpful and accommodating and I am always greeted with a smile! The physiotherapist I see gives stretches and strengthening exercises to complete between visits if follow-up appointments are needed! Thanks for your awesome work!

Frank Mount Evelyn

I have been going to this clinic for over 3 years after suffering near-fatal injuries from a car accident. The Physiotherapists who have been treating me have all been very caring, gentle and courteous whilst ensuring all of my needs were met. There was never an issue that they did not overcome with either treatment or the supply of ergonomic devices. My treatment is coming to an end as I now progress onto self-managing my health and wellbeing with regular sessions at the local gym, which they also organised. The administration staff are fantastic people who also treated me with the utmost respect and assistance. Thanks, Team!!!

Chris Musgrove

Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I was referred to Jade, whom I have no hesitation in recommending. She has been able to help through planning and careful management, meaning that frequent appointments were not required. My health was in her best interest. Truly a great service.
