WHAT IS CLINICAL PILATES?
Clinical Pilates is a therapeutic exercise that helps build core stability, balance, strength, and flexibility through specific physiotherapist-led movements. Breathing, spinal alignment, and abdominal connection are also covered in this practice.
Pilates begins with a detailed physiotherapy assessment and determination of patient goals. From here, we design an integrative movement “repertoire” to optimize control of your core stabilizing muscles, and improve overall body awareness, movement quality and strength.
Clinical Pilates is a great way to prevent future injuries or aid in the healing of chronic issues. If you think clinical pilates is right for you, talk to your physiotherapist today!
IS CLINICAL PILATES RIGHT FOR YOU?
Clinical Pilates can be used to treat back and neck pain, sports injuries, stress injuries, muscle strains, pre and post-natal pain, arthritis, stiffness, hyper-mobility, and more. Pilates emphasizes the importance of the core, so this treatment is great for addressing problems related to the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Patients looking to practice non-impact strengthening may also find this service beneficial.
Benefits of clinical pilates include:
• Improved balance
• Core stability
• Muscular strength
• Flexibility
• Injury prevention
• Reduced neck and back pain
• Breathing control
• Overall body tone and fitness
