Clinical Pilates

Clinical pilates is a controlled, individually tailored exercise programme for people with musculoskeletal problems, taught and supervised by a physiotherapist. Unlike a general pilates class, it begins with a clinical assessment, follows a plan built around the person's specific condition, and works toward a clear therapeutic goal: it is a rehabilitation exercise, not a sport or a fitness fashion. By balancing the muscles around the spine and joints, improving posture and reducing strain, it teaches the body more correct and protective movement habits. It is particularly helpful for people who sit for long hours, those with recurring back or neck pain, and those recovering from injury or surgery, and it travels well as the active backbone of a structured rehabilitation stay abroad.
