Achieve Your Goals with Clinical Pilates Surrey Hills
Clinical Pilates has revolutionised the world of health by offering a unique, low-impact way to achieve your strength, fitness, and flexibility goals. You can expect guidance from a physiotherapist who will help identify the specific areas that are contributing to injury or pain.
Many of our clients have tried exercising at home but have struggled with consistency or persistent injuries. Others just don’t like the idea of joining a gym. If this sounds like you, then our Clinical Pilates classes might be for you.
​
What Does Clinical Pilates Look Like?
Clinical Pilates combines the feel good and get stronger principles of Pilates with the clinical understanding of physiotherapy. We may use Clinical Pilates to prepare you for surgery, recover from surgery, and manage musculoskeletal pain and injury. It may also assist with addressing neck and back pain and chronic pain and may also reduce the risk of re-injury.
At Eastside Physio + Co, our Clinical Pilates classes are specific to you and your body. Following an initial assessment with our skilled team, we create a personalised program for you, your goals, and your condition.

BEGIN YOUR CLASSES
Once your personalised program is created you will be ready to start in a group setting. We keep our class numbers small (maximum of 5 people to 1 instructor). You will have guidance for your individualised program that is completed in the session. Your instructor will assist you in the class to make sure you are comfortable and progressing at your own safe and comfortable pace.
​
What is the Difference Between Regular Pilates and Clinical Pilates?
Although many people view regular Pilates and Clinical Pilates as one and the same, using the terms interchangeably, there are actually a number of differences in terms of practice, purpose, and methods.
In short, regular Pilates caters to the general public and does not focus on any specific injury or physical need. Instead, its focus is on improving overall physical health.
Clinical Pilates, on the other hand, is used for patient-specific treatment and takes into account individual injuries and physical needs. It also involves a clinical assessment by a qualified physiotherapist.
