Clinical Pilates has recently been shown to provide fitness and movement benefits, particularly in the aging population. The gentle slow controlled movements of Clinical Pilates improve cardio-vascular fitness, increase muscle tone and strength, improve flexibility, and in particular improve balance and prevent falls. Your physiotherapist class leader will guide you through the movements and give advice and correction to improve your technique.

The Benefits of Clinical Pilates

For those suffering from arthritis the gentle controlled movements of Clinical Pilates can increase range of motion, bulk up muscles, decrease pain and improve function. An added benefit from our classes for Clinical Pilates is the chance to socialise with others who are similarly motivated to improve their fitness and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Our Clinical Pilates classes include intervention techniques that:

   Improve mobility, flexibility and coordinated postural stability
   Achieve mental and physical relaxation 
   Build confidence and overcome the fear of falling
   Prevent bone loss

Clinical Pilates for Falls Prevention and Health

Clinical Pilates trains the muscles through slow, gentle, micro movements. The technique is proven to effectively minimise the risk of falls and generally improve physical health by increasing muscle strength and overcoming lower limb weakness. Breathing, stretching and mindfulness are also core features of Clinical Pilates.

Our experienced physiotherapists will guide you through the various exercises, providing advice to improve your technique for the best possible outcomes. Our Clinical Pilates treatments will help improve your balance control, flexibility, general fitness and can help prevent falls in older participants. After a detailed assessment our physiotherapist will be able to target your specific needs and monitor your progress.
