Understanding clinical Pilates

Pilates helps develop better muscle control, supports posture, improves flexibility, and focuses on controlled breathing throughout each movement.

Led by an allied health professional, typically a physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates is designed with anatomical expertise and a strong focus on injury management, ensuring every program is tailored to your specific needs.

What conditions can Pilates assist with?

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

What is the difference between Pilates and clinical Pilates?

While both Pilates and clinical Pilates are the same in that they focus on improving core strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness, there are key differences in their purpose and structure.

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 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.

What does a clinical Pilates class involve?

Every new client begins with a 45-minute one-on-one session. This session is used to create a personalised rehab plan tailored to your body and goals, while also addressing any existing injuries. Depending on the outcome, your instructor may recommend either joining a small group class (maximum 4 participants) or continuing privately.

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
