CLINICAL PILATES CLASS
CLASS DURATION: 45 MINUTES
Our Clinical Pilates in Essendon is a specialised form of Pilates tailored to individual needs and conditions, led by our trained osteos. It combines the principles of Pilates with the clinical expertise to provide a safe and effective workout for those recovering from injuries, dealing with chronic pain, or seeking to improve their physical function.
Unlike traditional Pilates, which focuses on general fitness, clinical Pilates emphasises rehabilitation, injury prevention, and overall physical health.

Our Clinical Pilates sessions are kept intentionally small, with a maximum of two people per session.
