Clinical Pilates
Healing the mind and body through power of movement.
Originally developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s to improve his own health, Pilates began as a form of exercise that combined the philosophies of mental focus, breathing and physical movement. Our physio-led pilates aim to correct movement patterns and body imbalances by focusing on advocating high-quality movements targeting core strength, pelvic stability, muscle control, flexibility and body awareness. In combination with our clinical expertise, we can help you rehabilitate from injuries, develop proper movement habits and sculpt your body.
Benefits of Pilates
Improves Core Strength and Stability
This condition accounts for 25% of all knee injuries. Often referred to as "runner's knee," it is a common condition characterised by pain around or behind the kneecap.
Improve Muscle Strength
This injury occurs when the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue running from the hip to the knee, becomes inflamed. This can cause pain on the outside of the knee, especially during activities like stair climbing, running or cycling.
Better Posture and Alignment
A meniscal tear involves damage to the meniscus, the C-shaped cartilage that acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone. Tears can result from a sudden twist or pivot, particularly during sports. Depending on the severity, treatment may range from physiotherapy to surgery.
Improve Mind-Body Connection
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage that cushions the knee gradually wears away. This leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling, particularly during movement.
Enhance flexibility and Movement Control
An ACL injury typically occurs during sports that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. Treatment can range from rehabilitation to surgical reconstruction, depending on the severity of the injury.
