About us
Springfield Clinical Pilates is run by experienced physiotherapists passionate about using movement and exercises to re-establish optimal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Our physiotherapists are trained in Pilates methodology and by combining with their extensive knowledge of injuries and rehabilitation to form a more specialised form of exercises formally known as “Clinical Pilates”.
Clinical Pilates is different from gym or studio Pilates as the clinical exercise program is individually tailored to your specific needs and goals. The classes are small – a maximum of 4 per class allowing for plenty of 1:1 attention during the class. An initial physiotherapy assessment is required prior to commencing the class.
The initial assessment is essential so that we can identify any injuries or incorrect movement patterns that may need to be addressed within the program. You will also learn some basic principles of activating the cores stability muscles so that you can practice before your group session.
Clinical Pilates are suitable for all ages and abilities, injuries, chronic conditions, general fitness and well-being. Our classes use equipment such as the reformers, trapeze tables, wunda chair, balls, bands, Pilates circles and weights. These classes are claimable under the private health rebates for “physiotherapy small group class”.
