CLINICAL PILATES
clinical-pilatesThe Pilates Method was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century in Germany. These days Clinical Pilates, a form of physical exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility, and breathing, is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy as a means of treating a variety of injuries, particularly those of the neck and back. Recent research advocates the strengthening of the deep stabilising muscles in patients with low back pain. Clinical Pilates focuses on these muscles (core stability) as well as improving posture, strength and flexibility. Studies demonstrate strong evidence to support the use of therapeutic exercise in the management of patients with injuries, particularly low back pain.
Pilates needs to be specific to the individual to be beneficial for patients with certain injuries, and not used as a generic tool for everyone. Clinical Pilates, which differs from generic Pilates classes, identifies key issues by applying carefully selected exercises to patients with specific injuries to optimise gains whilst significantly reducing the likelihood of injury aggravation. It is essential to have a review with a physiotherapist to assess the suitability of a core stability program for you should you intend to commence Pilates for your injury.
