Pilates At Barwon Osteopathic Clinic
Pilates classes to resume January 2022
At Barwon Osteopathy and Pilates, we aim to extend the same high-quality personalised service we have been known for in our osteopathic services into a Clinical Pilates setting.
The addition of a new modern Pilates studio means that we can now offer both specialised group classes or one on one sessions tailored to suit individual needs.
Clinical Pilates is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It will be offered in either a small class setting or an individualised program to meet your specific needs. Qualified Pilates instructors will carry out all classes.
Clinical Pilates is a low impact, patient-specific body conditioning program which focuses on developing fluent, efficient, controlled and balanced movement. It can help with the rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries utilising a wide variety of exercises of varying degrees of difficulty, from easy to very hard. Pilates classes provide a great form of exercise for the maintenance and improvement of general strength and fitness, focusing on core and trunk stability and postural education and the support of health and general well-being.
The Type Of Pilate Classes
Clinical Pilates Studio sessions:
Studio sessions utilise specialised Pilates equipment such as the reformer, trapeze table, ladder barrel and wunda chair. A specialised program will be tailored specifically for you to meet your requirements. Classes can then be undertaken on a one on one basis or as part of a small group. Group classes will be limited to a maximum of three participants, each carrying out their program under close supervision.
Before commencing a Clinical Pilates program, you will be required to have an initial consultation with one of our instructors to assess your individual needs. A further one-on-one session is then needed, where we will work with you to ensure your program is tailored to meet your specific goals and that you are confident enough to progress to a group setting. You will then be closely monitored to ensure you progress and obtain the maximum benefit from each session.
Mat Class Sessions:
Our group mat sessions are a fun and challenging way to target core strength, flexibility, posture and general well-being. Each class runs for 45 minutes and is limited to a maximum of 4 participants to ensure a high level of personal supervision. Due to the small class size, we can provide exercise progressions and modifications within each class to suit varying ages and fitness levels.
If you are suffering with a chronic or acute injury or have any concerns please call the clinic and speak to one of our practitioners prior to booking a class.
*Please note mat classes are not suitable for people seeking an individualised program or who have a current injury or acute pathology.
