Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a physiotherapy/allied health practitioner-led form of exercise that focuses on your individual goals.

You will be taken through an individual assessment and a number of private 1:1 sessions prior to starting small group classes. It is in these 1:1 sessions where you will learn about the different pieces of equipment, and gain an understanding of your program and the benefits of each exercise.

Our Clinical Pilates small group classes are most suited to those who are focusing on rehabilitating an injury or have goals to improve a specific functional deficit. Our classes have a maximum of 4 participants so you continue to receive personal attention throughout the session to help execute your individual program and exercises correctly.

As you progress through your rehabilitation your program will continue to be reviewed and modified. In these classes you will work through exercises specific to your goals, as well as focusing on building your deep core strength and control to help prevent injury.

1:1 Pilates

At TSCM we want you to feel comfortable and get the most out of your rehabilitation and exercise sessions, which is why we can offer you 1:1 sessions.

This allows you to have your own personal exercise session where your Pilates instructor will work closely with you to help execute correct form and technique for all exercises and when using the equipment. Within these sessions your exercises will be continually progressed to fit with your goals or how you are feeling on the day.

The added benefit of 1:1 sessions is that there is flexibility in the duration of your sessions, whether that be 30, 45 or 60 minute appointment times.

Pre/Post Natal Pilates Classes

During your pregnancy journey there are a lot of physical changes that are happening to your body, both pre- and postnatally, which is why it is very important to continue participating in regular aerobic and strength & conditioning exercise. Pilates is an excellent low-impact form of exercise and helps to prepare your body for childbirth as well as strengthening your body for the physical challenges of early motherhood. 

During your pregnancy you may experience reduced core and pelvic floor strength, reduced stability, changes to posture, and general muscular weakness and tightness. Regular participation in Pilates sessions throughout your pregnancy can reduce the risk of incidences of back and pelvic pain, incontinence and prolapse. As you progress through your pregnancy, your exercises will be modified to suit your needs. 

Pilates post-natally will focus on improving your core and pelvic floor strength, improving your pelvic stability, reducing any abdominal separation, and restoring your normal movement patterns.

The benefits of Pilates both pre- and post-natally are: 

  • Learning effective engagement of pelvic floor and increasing your pelvic floor strength
  • Improved posture and core stability 
  • Improved breath control 
  • Increased global muscular strength and flexibility
  • Improved co-ordination and control 

Please consult your physiotherapist, doctor and/or midwife prior to attending classes to rule out any contraindications that may prevent you from exercising
