Spotswood Clinical Pilates studio

One-on-one and small group Pilates sessions

Pilates offers a wide range of benefits that extend beyond just physical fitness. At Williamstown Health + Lifestyle, we deliver tailored clinical classes, one-on-one sessions, and studio programs designed to help you connect mind and body and move at your best.

What does clinical Pilates involve?

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

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?

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?

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.

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.

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
