About

What is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a physiotherapist-guided form of exercise that uses the principles of Pilates : core control, breath, alignment, and progressive loading adapted specifically for rehabilitation and injury management.

Unlike Fitness Pilates, Clinical Pilates begins with a thorough physiotherapy assessment. Your program is designed around your specific condition, goals, and movement capacity, then progressed as you improve.
