Watch a child move and you cannot help but be entranced by the freedom and grace of their movement. Unfortunately, the pathway to adulthood is littered with influences that can produce a gradual and insidious decline in physical function.

As a consequence, new and poorer patterns of movement may develop, until efficiency becomes so compromised that the body's supporting structures fail and pain occurs. Whilst a very gradual process (often mistakenly assumed to be a normal and irreversible part of ageing), it is often not until some minor trauma is experienced that pushes a person over the edge to pain that help is sought.

Physiotherapists have long been experts in reducing pain and improving physical function. Physiotherapists have embraced Pilates and combined it with the latest scientific research into core stability, movement patterning and physical pathology to develop a new, unique rehabilitation process called Clinical Pilates.

Individually Tailored Programs

On first attendance in our gymnasium you will spend an hour with a physiotherapist for a thorough examination, including the use of still and video digital analysis of posture and movement quality. A thorough program will be developed and you will be taught how to improve the quality of your movement and motor control.

After the initial assessment you will then commence your program under constant supervision - each person will have their own program and are able to proceed at their own pace, whilst a physiotherapist ensures correct performance and modifications as required.

Changing entrenched movement patterns takes time so we do not recommend reassessment until after twenty sessions. Once the problem has been resolved we will recommend a maintenance program via Pilates instruction.
