Why Clinical Pilates and not regular pilates?
While regular Pilates classes can be a great form of general exercise, Clinical Pilates is different because it is:
Supervised by Osteopaths – every session is led by a registered health professional who understands your injury history and movement limitations.
Tailored to You – unlike group fitness classes, Clinical Pilates is one-on-one, customised for your condition, and adjusted as you progress.
Safe for Rehabilitation – ideal if you’re recovering from back pain, joint injury, surgery, or managing chronic pain.
Evidence-Based – programs are guided by current rehabilitation research and the same clinical principles used in osteopathy treatment.
Progressive & Measurable – exercises are designed to gradually build your capacity, improve confidence, and transition you towards everyday or sporting goals.
In short: Clinical Pilates combines the benefits of Pilates with the safety, precision, and medical insight of osteopathy — ensuring you move with confidence, not guesswork.
Where did pilates originate from?
Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, who designed the method as a way to improve strength, control, and overall body conditioning. Originally used to help injured soldiers and dancers recover safely, Pilates has always focused on controlled movement, breath, and core stability.
Now modernized and supported by evidence-based research, Pilates is an effective method for preventing and rehabilitating musculoskeletal conditions.
