Clinical Pilates. Who is it for? How can it help me?

Clinical Pilates is a safe and effective way for everyone to improve their physical fitness, muscle strength and tone as well as posture.

How does Clinical Pilates work?

Frequently, the cause of back pain and injury is the incorrect timing and contraction of deep core stabilising muscles.  After a thorough assessment, our physiotherapists will help you to identify the correct muscles to contract, and when to contract them, so that the back is more supported and stabilised, thus preventing further injury.

Clinical Pilates treatments - What's involved? How much does it cost?

After a thorough examination you will be given a set of exercises to practice under physio guidance, and then at home.  Exercises on the reformer and trapeze table will be given as your strength and expertise increases.  Treatments are the same cost as physiotherapy treatments.

What training do Physiotherapists have to provide Clinical Pilates treatment or classes?

Physiotherapists John and Ramneet have completed the highest level of Clinical Pilates training through DMA Clinical Pilates. They are experts in the use of Clinical Pilates techniques in rehabilitation of all sports injuries and rehabilitation.

What is Pilates?
