Clinical Pilates

Results include:

• improved posture and muscle tone
• greater flexibility and balance
• increased resistance to injury and backache

These exercises can also be used to treat and prevent:

• back pain
• pelvic girdle pain
• neck, shoulder and arm pain
• hip and knee pain

How does Clinical Pilates work?

Imagine a skyscraper without a good foundation.

Core stability is your body’s foundation, and poor core stability is a major contributor to injury and common problems such as backache.
Our bodies are made up of layers of muscles, from superficial to deep. Conventional exercising, where we work at our maximum rate, predominantly exercises the superficial muscles while overlooking the deep ones.

Clinical Pilates addresses this shortfall and builds the foundation we need by targeting the deep stabilizing back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.
