Benefits of Clinical Pilates/Exercise at Hoppers Physio
What is Clinical Pilates/Exercise?
Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise and strengthening that uses Pilates equipment to address your rehab/injury/exercise goals. Qualified physiotherapists and other allied health professionals who have completed additional training in Pilates delivery alongside their qualifications run our Clinical Pilates sessions.
What can Clinical Pilates/Exercise Help With?
Clinical Pilates is not just for core strengthening; programs include core-based exercises alongside exercises that target the whole body and incorporate weights, balance or single-leg activities to challenge the individual based on current exercise/fitness levels. It is a low-impact exercise and can be modified for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions to ensure no flare in symptoms. The reformers and trapeze table that we use are spring-loaded, not weights, for ease of use and to get muscle groups to work on stability and endurance.
At Hoppers Physio, we have two streams of Clinical Pilates;
Semi-Private Classes

Want to know more?
If you are interested in any of our classes, have a chat with your treating physiotherapist or our friendly team to see which class would be most appropriate for you. You need to have an assessment with a physiotherapist with Pilates training, then potentially some one-on-one exercise sessions. This is to develop your program and learn the equipment before entering our classes.
