What is clinical Pilates?

As a full-body exercise method, Pilates builds core stability, reinforces good posture, increases flexibility, and promotes proper breathing techniques.

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.

Which conditions may Pilates help with?

Pilates is often used as a whole-body approach to aid in the rehabilitation and management of pain, injury, and movement limitations, 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?

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.

In traditional Pilates, participants join a larger class where everyone follows the same routine under the guidance of an instructor. Clinical Pilates is more individualised, led by a physiotherapist or other allied health professional, and conducted in smaller groups or one-on-one.

What happens in a clinical Pilates session?

All new clients commence with an Initial Private 45-minute session. During this private class, we start to develop a program of rehab exercises that is unique to your body and goals, as well as address any injuries that you may have. Following this session, if your instructor deems it appropriate, you can choose to join a group class (with a maximum of 4 people per class) or continue with a private class.

With fewer participants per class, your instructor can provide focused care and individual guidance.

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
