Understanding Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise used by physiotherapists to treat a broad range of conditions and injuries, ranging from surgery and injury rehabilitation to dysautonomia, hypermobility, and chronic fatigue disorder. Clinical Pilates focuses on improvement in muscle strength, balance, posture, balance, flexibility, and pelvic floor strengthening.

Today, Clinical Pilates is usually used in combination with physiotherapy to treat a variety of injuries, especially those of the back and neck. Clinical Pilates exercise is an approach that is based on art that shows solid evidence to support the use of therapeutic exercise in pain management. The treatment plan you receive depends on your aim of treatment and current level of fitness.

Benefits of Clinical Pilates

A significant benefit of Clinical Pilates is that it offers positive results on the entire body. This form of exercise is evidence-based and can be used to treat spinal pain and back pain, but its benefits don’t stop there. Besides, Clinical Pilates is a great option for pain management; it has been shown to help improve bone density, strengthen and tone muscle, prevent injuries, and improve balance.

Clinical Pilates can also help treat depression, improve neural function, and promote a strong sense of overall wellbeing. Moreover, due to Clinical Pilates' high effectiveness, the people that participate in the program spend less on the treatment and are more satisfied.

Difference Between Clinical Pilates and Regular Pilates

Clinical Pilates classes are run by highly trained Physiotherapists since they require a more personalised approach. In contrast, regular Pilates classes are conducted by Pilates instructors. Unlike Pilates instructors, the physiotherapist has an in-depth knowledge of bodily function, injury, pathology, movement patterns, and healing.

This in-depth knowledge allows a physiotherapist to exam each patient so as to determine any underlying problem they may have and create a treatment plan that will be most effective for each patient. This is very important for those that have a history of injury. Certain exercises will be adapted to your specific need to avoid aggravating the injury.

Is Clinical Pilates For Me?

Clinical Pilates exercise is for anyone and everyone. The treatment is aimed at those who have specific needs that require an individualised approach. Clinical Pilates is great for injury recovery, so those that are suffering from an injury of the musculoskeletal can benefit from this exercise.  

The importance of core control and pelvic floor during pregnancy and post-natal has been discussed a lot, and this is where Clinical Pilates can be of help. There are limits to what a pregnant woman can do, so having a more clinical approach will ensure the exercise is safe. Clinic Pilates is also suitable for those who have no previous experience because the foundation is what will ensure you achieve the desired results without aggravating your injury.
