Pilates isn't just a workout. it's a science-backed approach to maximising strength, flexibility, and movement control. Originating from Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, it has evolved into a widely recognised method for enhancing physical performance. Today, Clinical Pilates stands out as a tailored regimen designed to optimise individual body mechanics as a therapy for recovery and rehabilitation.
At Peak MSK Physio, Clinical Pilates isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a precision-focused regimen based on testing and diagnosis customising to your unique recovery needs. By targeting specific muscle imbalances and weaknesses, this program aims to refine movement patterns, leading to improved performance and reduced injury risk. Whether you're working on a mat or utilising our specialised equipment like the reformer, each exercise is carefully selected to match your level and treatment goals.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify any underlying conditions and assess your suitability. Clinical Pilates classes differ from studio classes as it is a tool to treat injury and pain towards recovery and performance. At Peak MSK Physio, we offer variety in individual treatment or with our classes so we provide you with what suits each person the best. Strength can be a priority but also other aspects of function like balance, endurance, coordination, all of which contribute to movement optimisation. Through targeted exercises and equipment introduction, such as the reformer or mat work, our aim is to have patients with a program specific to them that focuses on their recovery needs and health goals. We ensure our patients are reaching their health goals and feeling good doing so.
In addition to performance enhancement, Clinical Pilates has emerged as a scientifically proven method for reducing the risk of falls, especially among older adults. By targeting trunk strength, balance, and coordination, Pilates exercises help improve stability and proprioception, crucial factors in preventing falls and maintaining independence. This evidence-based approach makes Pilates an invaluable tool for promoting safety and well-being in older age groups.
Directional bias plays a crucial role in how your body moves and functions. Whether you're inclined towards forward bends, backward stretches, or sideways twists, we take into account your body's natural movement tendencies when designing your Pilates program. By aligning exercises with your preferred movements, we facilitate smoother, more efficient movement patterns, fostering overall multidirectional improvement in mobility and function.
Supervised by our trained clinical team, our Clinical Pilates sessions offer unparalleled expertise and support. With their guidance, you'll receive personalised instruction to ensure each movement is executed safely and effectively, maximising the benefits of your Pilates practice. We maximise our classes to 4 per class, so we can ensure each patient can be given equal focus and opportunity to be overseen by our clinical team in the 40 minutes they spend with us. We also provide 1 on 1 sessions for patients who might need some more practice before entering a class, or for those who would rather undertake the classes simply by themselves.
Classes will run for 40 minutes per session. All of our clinicians have undertaken extra learning in the field of clinical pilates. For more details on class times and sessions, see our timetable below.
