Understanding clinical Pilates

Pilates is a movement practice designed to enhance stability, strengthen posture, boost flexibility, and encourage mindful breathing.

Clinical Pilates is taught by a qualified allied health practitioner—often a physiotherapist—who brings in-depth anatomical understanding and experience in managing injuries, allowing them to customise each program to the individual.

Which conditions can Pilates assist with?

As a well-rounded form of movement therapy, Pilates can support the recovery and management of many pain conditions, injuries, and dysfunctions, 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

While the foundations of Pilates and clinical Pilates are similar—centred on strength, flexibility, and alignment—their purpose and delivery differ in meaningful ways.

Where Pilates is designed for general fitness, strength, and flexibility, clinical Pilates targets specific musculoskeletal injuries, postural issues, and/or functional movement patterns that a person is experiencing.

Pilates is generally offered in larger group classes of around 8 or more people, following a set routine guided by a qualified instructor. Clinical Pilates, however, is delivered either individually or in small groups and led by a physiotherapist or allied health practitioner using a personalised program.

Your guide to a clinical Pilates class

All first-time clients attend a 45-minute private session to create a customised rehab program focused on individual goals and any injuries present. After this, your instructor may suggest transitioning into a small group class of up to 4 people or continuing with private sessions.

Small class sizes ensure that you receive an exceptional level of care and attention from your instructor.

We have a modern, purpose-built facility here at Williamstown Health + Lifestyle that is equipped with everything you need to participate in your program.

Equipment includes:

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