Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates at Holistic Physio Brisbane
At Holistic Physio, we believe that movement is medicine. Clinical Pilates is one of the most effective ways to restore balance, improve posture, and rebuild strength after injury or during ongoing health care. Unlike generic Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates is individually tailored by our qualified Physiotherapist to meet your unique needs.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pain, or looking to improve mobility, our Clinical Pilates in Highgate Hill programs are designed to support your body safely and effectively.
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is a form of therapeutic exercise based on the original Pilates method, adapted by Physiotherapists using the latest evidence-based principles.
It focuses on:
- Core strength and stability
- Postural alignment
- Controlled, mindful movement
- Rehabilitation after injury or surgery
- Prevention of future injuries
How Clinical Pilates Helps
Many people have heard of “core muscles” and even say that the exercises they do strengthen core muscles. We’ve spoken to many people who say they attend Pilates classes regularly, yet they’re still in constant pain. They have no idea where their core muscles are, how many there are and whether or not they’re activating them. Done correctly, Pilates should help prevent pain.
At Holistic Physio, every session begins with a thorough assessment. This ensures that your Clinical Pilates program is tailored to your specific goals — whether that’s improving flexibility, easing lower back pain, or enhancing sports performance. We show you exactly where your core muscles are and how many core muscles there are and make sure that you know whether you’re activating your core muscles or not.
Benefits of Clinical Pilates
Many people come do Clinical Pilates as part of their injury rehabilitation program, but the benefits go far beyond recovery. Regular practice may help with:
- Reducing back and neck pain
- Improving posture and balance
- Enhancing flexibility and joint mobility
- Supporting pregnancy and postnatal recovery
- Building strength without strain on joints
- Managing chronic conditions such as arthritis
Because each program is supervised by a Physiotherapist, you can feel confident that your exercises are safe, effective, and matched to your body’s needs.
