What does clinical Pilates involve?

Pilates is a form of exercise that works to improve stability and muscle control, improve and strengthen posture, and increase flexibility with an emphasis on proper breathing.

Clinical Pilates is led by an instructor who is also a qualified allied health professional (usually a physiotherapist, but not always). They possess skilled anatomical knowledge and specialise in injury management, which enables them to tailor Pilates programs to suit each individual perfectly.

What conditions can Pilates help?

Pilates offers a holistic method for managing and rehabilitating a range of pain, injuries, and functional issues, including:

Neck or back pain
Tension headaches
Sports injuries
Women’s health (including pelvic floor health)
Pre and postnatal health
Joint injuries or pain
Heel pain
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
Carpal tunnel
Sciatica
Herniated disc

Understanding the difference between Pilates and clinical Pilates

Although Pilates and clinical Pilates share a focus on core strength, flexibility, and posture, they are distinct in their goals and how sessions are delivered.

While Pilates focuses on overall fitness, strength, and flexibility, clinical Pilates is tailored to address musculoskeletal injuries, postural concerns, or movement dysfunctions.

Pilates typically takes place in group settings with a fixed routine led by a certified instructor. Clinical Pilates differs in that it’s delivered in smaller groups or individually, led by a physiotherapist or allied health professional, with exercises tailored to each person’s needs.

What to expect from a clinical Pilates class?

Your Pilates journey begins with a 45-minute Initial Private session, where we assess your needs and design a rehab program aligned with your goals and any injuries. After this, you may either move into a small group class (capped at 4 participants) or continue privately, as advised by your instructor.

Smaller group sizes allow for more personalised attention and support throughout your session.

Our facility at Williamstown Health + Lifestyle is purpose-built and fully equipped to support your program every step of the way.

Equipment includes:

Reformer machines
Trapeze table
Wunda chair
Spine corrector
Free weights
Resistance bands
Balance boards and discs
