Discover the Benefits of Clinical Pilates for Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention

Pilates is an exercise technique, which focuses on gentle strengthening, balance and flexibility. "Clinical Pilates" is a modified form of therapeutic exercise used by Physiotherapists to assist in your rehabilitation and the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. It is an ideal rehabilitation tool, incorporating postural re-alignment with spinal stability. We strive to treat your symptoms and to correct the causative factors and thus prevent further problems. By addressing all components of the presenting injury, our individualized Clinical Pilates sessions aim to correct abnormal postures and movement patterns to reduce and prevent pain long term.
