About Clinical Pilates
Pilates is for anyone and everyone.
An hour of Pilates is wonderful for engaging the body and mind, releasing muscle tension and reducing stress and fatigue.
Not only does Pilates improve your general health and wellbeing, it can improve your posture and aid in the rehabilitation of various injuries from knees and spine to shoulders, hips and ankles.
Pilates is highly beneficial for pregnant women wanting to sustain fitness during pregnancy. For post-natal women, Pilates provides a a gentle yet effective method for regaining strength and assisting with recovery after birth.
Our Pilates approach
We provide a service specifically tailored to help you reach your health and fitness goals, working the entire body.
During each Pilates class, as part of your individualised program you will spend time exercising on specially designed Pilates equipment (Reformer, Trapeze Table and Chair) as well as Pilates mat work. This will provide a guide for exercises that can be performed at home for homework
In each group Pilates session, your workout will be refined to precisely meet your individual goals and needs on that particular day.
