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.

A Clinical Pilates instructor is a trained allied health provider, commonly a physiotherapist, with advanced knowledge of the body and rehabilitation. This allows them to deliver personalised programs based on your condition and goals.

Which conditions may Pilates help 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

Pilates vs clinical Pilates – what sets them apart?

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.

Pilates is typically aimed at boosting overall fitness, strength and flexibility, while clinical Pilates is used to manage particular injuries, postural imbalances, and functional issues.

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 happens in a clinical Pilates session?

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.

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

At Williamstown Health + Lifestyle, we offer a contemporary, well-equipped space designed to meet all your program needs.

Equipment includes:

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