Clinical Pilates Classes in Perth

Clinical Pilates is a type of physical exercise that focusses on the whole body. Clinical Pilates classes can help you work on your core stability, posture, muscle control, balance, flexibility, strength, and breathing, among other things. It is a gentle form of exercise that promotes coordination and offers benefits for people of all ages.

Pilates was originally developed by Joseph Pilates in Germany in the early 20th century. Today it is a good way of treating a wide range of injuries by training your deep stabilising muscles. At Specialist Sportscare W.A., our physiotherapists can conduct an assessment to help you determine your goals. Through Clinical Pilates, we can then instruct you in a series of exercises that address these goals.

What Is the Difference between Standard Pilates and Clinic Pilates?

Regular Pilates and Clinic Pilates are both derived from the original Pilates method developed in the 20th century. However, the exercises performed and their effect can greatly differ.

Standard Pilates classes are usually completed for general fitness purposes and supervised by a gym instructor or professional trainer. These Pilates classes often involve large groups and they do not involve tailored exercise regimes.

Clinic Pilates at Specialist Sportscare W.A. is developed by our qualified physiotherapists and other specialists. We combine our specialist knowledge with thorough assessments to create tailored exercises to meet your specific goals.
