Understanding Clinical Pilates
Doesn’t Pilates look like a great time? People on what seems like a mix between a bed and a trampoline, bouncing and springing away (usually in stylish activewear). What’s not to love?
Many people find regular Pilates classes enjoyable, though they’re usually structured in a one-size-fits-all way, and your health is anything but generic.
Clinical Pilates at Better Movement Collective starts with a thorough initial assessment, as Clinical Pilates, unlike general Pilates classes, is physiotherapist-led, tailored to your needs, and focused on managing pain rather than general fitness.
When you attend Clinical Pilates in Beaumaris, we take a look at your movement patterns, assess any pain or movement restrictions you may have, and develop a program tailored to your goals.
Who May Clinical Pilates Assist?
Clinical Pilates may be suitable for people experiencing a range of musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions, as well as those looking to support their overall movement and physical well-being. In short, it could suit just about anybody!

What Happens in a Clinical Pilates Class?

Clinical Pilates: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you explain what Clinical Pilates is?
Clinical Pilates is an exercise program guided by a physiotherapist, using Pilates principles to support movement, strength, flexibility, and function. We tailor every program based on your individual assessment.
Your physiotherapist will guide you through reformer-based and functional movement exercises appropriate to your stage of recovery, gradually progressing your program as your strength and confidence build.
What sets Clinical Pilates apart from regular Pilates?
Regular Pilates classes are typically run as group workouts, while Clinical Pilates is physiotherapist-guided and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and movement patterns, particularly suiting injury rehabilitation and the management of ongoing pain.
Do you need to be injured to try 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, so Clinical Pilates is typically suitable for everyone from complete beginners to experienced athletes. It’s also generally a good option for those wanting a low-impact form of exercise that aims to build strength while addressing flexibility, coordination, and movement confidence.
Will I be using a reformer?
Yes! Your sessions will include reformer-based exercises alongside other functional strengthening exercises. All of our Clinical Pilates classes incorporate a reformer.
