What is clinical Pilates?

The Pilates method has evolved greatly since its conception by founder Josef Pilates in the early 20th century. Pilates is now a widely-embraced exercise method by fitness enthusiasts; but what exactly does clinical Pilates mean? Why is it different from other Pilates classes that you attend at the local gym or watched on Youtube? Is Clinical Pilates suitable for you?

Clinical Pilates sessions are generally led by allied health professionals – mainly physiotherapists and exercise physiologists. The focus of Clinical Pilates is to use traditional Pilates methodology and principles and apply it to a rehabilitation setting to reduce pain levels, increase mobility and improve function. These principles centre around alignment, proprioception and correct muscular activation patterns. Whilst general Pilates focuses on these elements as well, Clinical Pilates has a much more concentrated approach to the individual’s injury needs and requirements. Clinical Pilates is about tailoring the sessions so you can get the most out of it.

“I have been attending Melbourne Yoga and Pilates for Clinical Exercise Physiology (1:1 class) for 8 months now, due to very chronic muscular back pain. Wynter and her team have made a tremendous difference already. After a decade of having no satisfactory answers as to why certain movements are painful and thus no effective strategies to improve, Wynter’s skill in translating theoretical knowledge to exercise prescription relevant to my weaknesses and strengths has restored a positive outlook that I can achieve freedom of movement and return to activities I love. As a medical practitioner myself, the empowerment Wynter and her team have given me to manage and improve my own condition parallel the outcome I strive for in my own patients. Highly recommend for individuals with or without chronic disease! ***For all the cynics – this is NOT a sponsored review***”

“After dealing with chronic pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back since I was 13, I decided to take control one day by starting Clinical Pilates. I had some goals I wanted to achieve and needed a pain-free body. I started with sessions twice a week and worked with Wynter. She gave me lists of exercises that I can do at work during my breaks as well as at home, and I did them diligently every day! What has made the most difference was taking what I learned and applying to it at my posture at work (e.g. remembering to pull my shoulders down). My self-awareness towards my body improved so much, this has greatly reduced my pain levels in 2-3 weeks and I look forward to continuing to strengthen my body.”
