What to Expect From Clinical Pilates
Your Physiotherapist or Accredited Exercise Physiologist will assess your movement, strength, physical capacity and goals, then develop an individual Clinical Pilates program suited to your needs and current level of function.
1. Assessment
We assess your movement, strength, function, health history and goals to understand your starting point and determine an appropriate exercise approach.
2. Individualised Exercise
Your program may use reformer, mat and other Pilates-based exercises selected and adapted to support your rehabilitation, strength, mobility and movement control.
3. Progression & Review
Exercises are progressively adjusted as your capacity changes, with ongoing review to ensure your program remains appropriate to your needs and goals.
