With core stability your body is stronger,
flexible and postural awareness much improved, Clinical Pilates can help
you achieve this. It's based upon the exercise philosophy of German fitness
trainer Joseph Pilates, but has been adapted by physiotherapists. Essentially,
Clinical Pilates teaches the deep spinal muscles to work more effectively
so the trunk is more stable.
Clinical Pilates is beneficial for everyone, even those
free of aches and pains. In particular, it can help people who suffer
from back or neck pain; poor posture; headaches; are overweight; employed
in sedentary or manual work; sportspeople or athletes (injured or not);
pre and post-natal women; teens with poor posture or growth spurts; the
elderly, as well as performers such as dancers, actors, singers and
musicians.
Clincal Pilates is available in one-on-one sessions or
group sessions (up to three participants per physiotherapist).
Clinical Pilates is generally covered under private
health insurance if you have the 'extras' option
