What is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates on reformer with Osteopath

What is Clinical Pilates?

Pilates is a set of exercises originally invented by physical trainer Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. The Pilates repertoire has changed over time, and the updated modernised set of exercises have become popular in class settings for their focus on building strength and balance in a supported environment.

How can Clinical Pilates help me?

Rather than group classes conducted on the mat, clinical Pilates at Chadstone Region Osteo is held in 1:1 or small group sessions with Shaun or Caitie. Your program is specifically prescribed and tailored to you based on your initial physical assessment and medical history. Your practitioner will supervise and dynamically edit your program during your appointment, to ensure maximum individulisation of your program based on your ability and goals.

Our practitioners utilise a pilates reformer to ensure your exercises are provided at the correct resistance and challenge for you to feel supported, but also to achieve your therapeutic goals. This approach can also be helpful for people with chronic pain or returning to exercise after illness.
