Clinical Pilates - Power is nothing without control
Ocean Physio and Rehab is at the forefront of Clinical Pilates. We have several recognised experts within our team, who have all carried out comprehensive training in this specialised area. We have a fantastic custom built 70m² Pilates studio at our Woodbury clinic and further studio space at the University of Exeter. We offer daily classes ranging from beginner to advanced level, as well as one to one sessions tailored to your individual needs.
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.
The last decade has seen a growing body of research supporting stabilisation for management of spinal and musculoskeletal injuries. Poor control and lack of endurance of trunk musculature are known to be associated with low back pain.
As the research and knowledge develops in this area, clients can be assured that the Clinical Pilates programme carried out by the experts at Ocean Physio and Rehab is at the forefront of current medical research.
