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 physical training method based on motor control and body awareness, focusing on the quality of all body movements. Clinical Pilates is an adaptation of traditional Pilates developed by physiotherapists, making it a safe, low-intensity, low-impact form of physical activity that promotes flexibility, muscle strengthening, balance, and postural correction.<\/p>\n

Clinical Pilates uses the principles of the Pilates method, control, precision, breathing and body awareness, integrated with physiotherapy knowledge. It is a low-impact, intensity-adapted practice, suitable for those with pain or physical limitations, as well as those looking to prevent injuries and improve functional performance.<\/p>\n

This methodology allows for integrated work on postural correction, core stability, joint mobility, muscle strengthening, and coordination and balance, contributing to a stronger, more aligned, and efficient body in daily activities.<\/p>\n

It is recommended for everyone, whether they experience pain or not, have postural changes or reduced flexibility, who wish to re-educate and strengthen their body. It is particularly aimed at managing lumbar and cervical pain, joint problems, postural alterations, post-injury recovery, injury prevention, and sedentary lifestyles.<\/p>\n

All sessions are led by physiotherapists, by specialist physiotherapists from the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute<\/span><\/span> APPI.<\/p>\n

At Integrativa, clinical Pilates sessions are individualised and carried out on the floor\/ mat (Mattwork) or on equipment (Reformer, Mattwall, Split combo pedal chair, Spine corrector<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Before starting, an assessment is carried out to find out each student's clinical and physical condition.<\/p>\n

A few well-done movements, performed in a correct and balanced way, are worth many hours of gymnastics.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i>Joseph Pilates<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
