Clinical Therapeutic Exercise Background

All our group exercise classes utilise Pilates principles and exercise techniques. Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates in New York and used almost exclusively by dancers at first. It is now used universally, with and without equipment. Clinical Pilates has since evolved where physiotherapists use the Pilates principals to emphasise core stability and correction of movement patterns.

It is safe for beginners, and effective for elite athletes and people with sports injuries. Neck and back pain sufferers find relief. The aged gain strength, balance and confidence. Pilates is effective for osteoporosis, both in prevention and control. Used in rehabilitation and post surgery, Pilates will help you regain movement and strength. It is suitable during pregnancy. It helps those in chronic pain. Pilates has also been shown to aid mental health by helping those suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, weight and eating disorders.

Clinical Therapeutic Exercise is effective in improving overall health, physical and mental. It does this by strengthening, stretching and toning muscles. It also has general effects in creating a feeling of well being, improving balance, cardiovascular fitness and improving concentration and sleep patterns.
