Unlike standard Pilates, Clinical Pilates is supervised by trained health professionals who customise sessions based on your unique needs, health conditions, capabilities or injury status. This tailored approach is particularly beneficial for:

Postpartum Recovery and Women’s Health: Clinical Pilates focuses on rebuilding core and pelvic floor strength, aiding in postpartum recovery and helping women safely return to activity.
Low-Impact Strength and Flexibility: Using controlled movements and graded resistance, Clinical Pilates strengthens the muscles without placing strain on joints, making it ideal for managing chronic conditions, including arthritis.
Injury Rehabilitation and Pain Relief: Clinical Pilates helps improve function and mobility by addressing muscle imbalances and alignment, effectively reducing pain and preventing reinjury. It's especially effective for low back pain, neck pain, and shoulder conditions.

With Clinical Pilates, you set the intensity of each session, allowing for gradual progress that’s as easy or as challenging as you make it. Our professional guidance ensures safe technique, minimising injury risk while maximising results.

Matwork Pilates: In Matwork Pilates, exercises are performed on a mat using body weight for resistance. This format focuses on core stability, flexibility, and balance, offering a range of movements to enhance overall body strength.
Reformer Pilates: Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine with springs and pulleys to provide adjustable resistance, allowing for a broader range of exercises and greater intensity control. Ideal for both beginners and advanced participants, Reformer Pilates can be customised to target specific muscles, aiding in both strength-building and rehabilitation.

At Bodyfix Physiotherapy, we offer both 1:1 sessions and small group sessions to ensure our Clinical Pilates services meet your specific needs and goals.

1:1 Sessions

Our private one-on-one sessions provide a highly personalised approach, allowing our Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists to focus exclusively on you. In these sessions, we assess your individual needs, adjust exercises to suit your current fitness or recovery level, and provide real-time feedback on technique and form. This is ideal for those managing specific injuries, chronic pain, or conditions requiring extra guidance, such as postpartum recovery.

Small Group Sessions

Our small group classes offer a supportive, social environment where you can enjoy the benefits of Clinical Pilates while still receiving feedback on your technique. Group sessions are capped at a limited number of participants, allowing our instructors to monitor each person’s form and technique. These classes are designed to cater to all fitness levels, making them perfect for building strength, flexibility, and core stability in a group setting.
