Pilates

The art of controlled movements

which should look and feel like a workout (not a therapy) when properly manifested

  • Public
  • One-on-one
  • Our place or yours

In his book Return to Life through Contrology[i], Joseph Pilates presents his method as the art of controlled movements, which should look and feel like a workout (not a therapy) when properly manifested.

If practised with consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength, develops control and endurance in the whole human body.

It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, and developing a strong ‘core’, and improving coordination and balance.

Pilates’ system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginning to advanced or to any other level, and also in terms of the instructor and practitioner’s specific goals and/or limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.

All the physiotherapist use pilates during treatment.

 

Our Physiotherapists run the Pilates classes and they can:

  • get you on a general pilates mat class (open to the public)
  • arrange a program of one-on-one sessions

Many Ways To
Book

To see a Physiotherapist, you can call us, email us or just pop-in to the clinic. (You don’t always need a GP’s referral but, if you do have one already, that’s OK. Just bring it with you or have it handy when you call.) We will book you in with your preferred Physiotherapist (if you have one) for an initial appointment (usually 30-min).
