How does clinical Pilates work?

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.

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 help?

Pilates can be beneficial as a holistic approach to the management and rehabilitation of various types of pain, injury, and dysfunction, 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?

Pilates and clinical Pilates both aim to enhance core strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness, but they differ in terms of structure and intended outcomes.

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

Pilates is undertaken in group classes (usually 8 or more participants) and led by a qualified instructor using a structured routine that all participants follow. Clinical Pilates, on the other hand, is undertaken either 1-on-1 or in a small group class setting and is led by a physiotherapist (or other allied health professional) using a routine that is customised to the needs of each participant.

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.

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

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
