Retrain Your Body
Most adults have learnt movement patterns and habits that have a negative impact on the body such as poor lifting technique or slouching at a desk. And we repeat these unhelpful movements and habits daily which often causes tension, pain and sometimes injury.
In a Clinical Pilates class, you’ll retrain the way your body moves which may help you manage pain to manage pain, prevent injuries and improve your mobility. It’s a fun, low-impact way to get stronger, more flexible, and more balanced – without putting unnecessary strain on your body.
What to Expect During a Clinical Pilates Class?
Before you attend your first class, you’ll attend a private consultation with one of our highly experienced to chat about your needs and fitness goals. We’ll also show you how to use each piece of equipment and make sure you’re confident performing each exercise. Once your assessment is completed, our instructors will create a personalised rehabilitation plan to help you reach your goals.
Please arrive a few minutes before your initial consultation to complete some forms and bring socks to wear on the equipment. If you don’t own Pilates grip socks, you can purchase them in the studio.
If you’re currently being treated by one of our chiropractors, your Pilates instructor will also chat with your chiropractor to gain a clear understanding of what your body needs and any injuries you may have.
