Clinical Pilates
Private and semi-private clinical Pilates sessions
What is clinical Pilates and how does it differ from regular Pilates?
Our Clinical Pilates in Essendon is a specialised form of Pilates tailored to individual needs and conditions, led by our trained physios and 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.
What we offer
Physio and Osteo-led classes for expert guidance and support.
Private 1:1 sessions and small group classes with a maximum of three participants for personalised care.
Safe and effective injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Improved muscle stability and control e.g. enhanced posture and alignment, improved core strength, better flexibility and balance
Help you to understand your body and maintain your health independently.
