Clinical Pilates Hampton

Combining the principles of Pilates with the clinical care of physiotherapy.

What is Clinical Pilates?

Pilates looks like great fun, doesn’t it? You see people on what looks like a cross between a bed and a trampoline, bouncing and springing around (and wearing cute outfits). What’s not to love?
While many people find regular Pilates helpful and enjoyable, these classes are typically one-size-fits-all, which your health just… isn’t.

Clinical Pilates at Better Movement Collective begins with a thorough initial assessment. This is because, unlike general Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates is physiotherapist-led, tailored to you, and focuses on managing pain rather than general fitness.

When you come to Clinical Pilates in Hampton, we look at how your body moves, assess any pain or movement restrictions, and develop a personalised program based on your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Pilates

What is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a physiotherapist-guided exercise program that uses Pilates principles to address your movement, strength, flexibility, and function. We personalise every program based on your individual assessment.

Using reformer equipment and functional movement, your physiotherapist will guide you through exercises that are appropriate for your stage of recovery and gradually progress your program as your strength and confidence improve.

What is the difference between Clinical Pilates and regular Pilates?

Regular Pilates classes typically follow a group workout format, while Clinical Pilates is guided by a physiotherapist and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and movement patterns. This makes it particularly suitable for injury rehabilitation and managing ongoing pain.

Do I need to be injured to do Clinical Pilates?

Not at all! Many people use Clinical Pilates to address their posture, build core strength, increase flexibility, and maintain their physical health, even if they aren’t currently experiencing any pain or dysfunction.

Is Clinical Pilates suitable for beginners?

Yes! Every exercise is individually prescribed, making Clinical Pilates suitable for complete beginners through to experienced athletes. Clinical Pilates is also ideal for people who want a low-impact form of exercise that builds strength while improving flexibility, coordination, and movement confidence.

Will I use a reformer?

Yes! Your sessions will include reformer-based exercises alongside other functional strengthening exercises. All of our Clinical Pilates classes incorporate a reformer.

What are your classes like?

With a 4:1 group class ratio, our clinical Pilates classes are typically suitable for people of all ages and abilities, whether you’re recovering from injury or simply looking to move more comfortably.
