Clinical pilates is a physio-designed exercise program to rehabilitate injuries or speed up recovery after surgery. It differs from traditional pilates because it is a targeted exercise designed to improve a client’s physical needs.

Additionally, clinical pilates improves balance, control, flexibility, alignment, posture, core muscle strength and the pelvic floor area, helping alleviate pain and prevent future injuries.

Whether used as a standalone treatment or with other physiotherapy methods, it can be vital in supporting a person’s recovery and overall health.

At Graceville Painslayers Physiotherapy, our clinical pilates sessions occur in a managed and safe environment, as there is always a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist on site.

What is the difference between Clinical Reformer Pilates and normal Pilates?

The difference between clinical and regular pilates is that clinical pilates is offered by a trained physiotherapist, allowing them to come up with a class that targets specific areas of your body. Other pilates classes are a much more general program, without the same targeted exercises.

Can Pilates transform your body?

Yes, it definitely can. If you attend clinical pilates regularly and co-ordinate with your physiotherapist about your goals, then these classes can definitely help you transform your body.
