Clinical Pilates
The Clinical Pilates program is based on Joseph Pilates’ original work. It combines the principles of his early work with current research into muscle physiology, muscle function and dysfunction, local and global stability and biomechanics to create a safe, clinically effective programme for rehabilitation.

Clinical Pilates provides patients with a method of exercise unique amongst other forms of exercise that focuses on correct movement quality not quantity, core stabilisation and postural correction. Clinical Pilates is a total mind-body conditioning exercise programme that is based on creating a stable core by activating the deep abdominal and spinal muscles. A stable core is essential for maintaining correct postures, good control and balance of the whole body.

Clinical Pilates suits all ages and fitness levels and is particularly beneficial for those with back pain, poor postures, neurological conditions, sports injuries, arthritis, stress related illness and before and after pregnancy.
