Functional Clinical Pilates-
what is the difference to Gym Pilates ?
Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise therapy that focuses on restoration of posture, balance, coordination, breathing control, core strengthening and flexibility. Clinical Pilates is often prescribed to compliment the treatment of injuries with Physiotherapy.
Although Pilates can be extremely beneficial for patients with certain injuries, it has to be specific to the individual and not used as a generic tool for everyone. Clinical Pilates (in contrast to generic Pilates classes) identifies this key issue by applying carefully selected exercises to patients with specific injuries. This ensures optimal rehabilitation and restoration of function and whilst minimizing the likelihood of another injury aggravation.
We offer a highly individualised Clinical Pilates Program targeting specifically to your injury and your level of fitness and we coined it as Functional Clinical Pilates.
Equipped with the knowledge to assess and treat functional deficits, we have incorporated our skills and knowledge with rehabilitation into Pilates.
Each individual client would be attended to personally during the class and an exercise routine would be designed just to suit your needs in terms of rehabilitation of your injury.
All exercise classes are conducted by our professionally trained Clinical Pilates physiotherapist.
