Clinical Pilates

What is clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a specialised form of exercise that is tailored to meet your individual needs. It focuses on the quality of your movement, performing exercises using the most optimal movement strategies. It is suitable if you wish to work on improving a particular aspect of your physicality. It is also suitable for those with various medical conditions or injuries that limit fitness options.

A session typically involves exercises focused on improving core strength, flexibility, posture, and overall body awareness under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist. Unlike traditional Pilates, clinical Pilates incorporates rehabilitation principles and is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help manage pain, improve function, and prevent future injuries. It can be also a great stepping stone to get you back to your sport.

At Artistic Sports Physio, we guide performers through one-on-one Pilates exercises. For a dancer, goals may include increasing turnout, improving hip flexibility or challenging pelvic stability to enhance performance. For a vocalist, breath work is incorporated with movement as well as exercises to relax the neck muscles that are often overused during high vocal demands like singing.

Clinical Pilates are 1:1 and can be booked online here. Or you can contact Artistic Sports Physio for more information.
