Clinical Pilates and Reformer<\/h1><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Clinical Pilates focus on posture, balance and gives strength for the activities of daily life.<\/h4>\n

Pilates is a method of physical exercise based on conscious control of movement, precision, breathing, and body awareness. Clinical Pilates adapts these principles to the context of physiotherapy, allowing for a safe, progressive practice tailored to each person's physical and clinical condition.<\/p>\n

In Clinical Pilates, exercises are selected based on an individual assessment. This assessment allows for an understanding of the presence of pain, functional limitations, mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and each person's goals.<\/p>\n

This approach allows for integrated work on postural re-education, core stability, joint mobility, muscle strengthening, coordination, and balance. The aim is to promote more efficient movement, with better control and greater adaptation to the demands of daily life.<\/p>\n

Clinical Pilates can be recommended for individuals with or without pain, postural changes, reduced flexibility, loss of strength, functional limitations, or sedentary lifestyles. It can also be integrated into the management of lower back pain, neck pain, joint alterations, post-injury recovery, and the prevention of recurrences associated with less efficient movement patterns.<\/p>\n

At Integrativa, Clinical Pilates sessions are individualised and guided by physiotherapists with specialised training from the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute, APPI. They can be performed on the floor, on a mat, or using equipment such as the Reformer, Matwall, Split Combo Pedal Chair and Spine Corrector.<\/p>\n

Before commencing your practice, an individualised assessment is conducted with a physiotherapist specialising in Clinical Pilates. This is to understand your clinical and physical condition, identify your goals, and define the most suitable approach.<\/p>\n
