Clinical Pilates is a form of physical exercise used therapeutically since the late 1990s. It combines traditional pilates exercises with additional elements such as bio-mechanics, postural assessment and corrective exercises to help patients achieve their desired physical goals. Clinical Pilates Glen Iris provides individuals with an effective and holistic approach to rehabilitation from injury or other health conditions.
At its core, Clinical Pilates focuses on strengthening postural muscles while improving flexibility and mobility. These aspects are combined with specific techniques designed to reduce pain, improve balance and increase overall body awareness. The practice also helps optimise movement patterns, which can benefit those recovering from injury or managing chronic pain or disability.
The team at Clinical Pilates in Glen Iris takes a whole-body approach to rehabilitation, offering tailored programs designed specifically for each patient’s needs and goals. These exercise programs consider biomechanical principles as well as individual preferences, lifestyle changes and activity levels so that each patient can achieve the best possible outcome from his/her treatment plan.
In addition to providing tailored rehab plans, clinical pilates also seeks to empower individuals by educating them about their condition and what they need to do for ongoing recovery management at home between sessions (e.g., stretching). Through careful instruction on how to perform the exercises properly and safely, clients are given greater control over their own health care through self-management strategies such as mindfulness activities (e.g., breathing) which help them become more aware of how their body responds during exercise or everyday activities like walking up stairs or carrying groceries etc..
At Clinical Pilates in Glen Iris we understand that everyone’s situation is unique; therefore we provide our clients with one-on-one personalised attention throughout the course of treatment so they can receive the most appropriate care according to individual needs rather than being ‘packed off’ down a generic path of recovery with no consideration for circumstances specificities such as living environment etc.. This kind of personalised service encourages ownership over your own health journey which can be very empowering!
Additionally our team consists not only qualified physiotherapists but also experienced trainers who have studied under accredited instructors certified by Body Organics Australia (BOA); this ensures you get only top quality professional care within an impressive range of safe practices including:
