We often get asked what the difference between regular/fitness Pilates classes and our Clinical Pilates consultations. And it’s no wonder, the word “Pilates” has become used in so many different ways, all with a varying degree of quality and helpfulness. So why do we recommend Clinical Pilates to our clients rather than just sending them to a traditional Pilates class to get fit and relieve pain? Clinical Pilates is specific to you.
Fitness Pilates
- Usually, the instructors are Personal Trainers who are also Pilates trained
- No individual physical assessment
- Great for increasing overall core strength, fitness and flexibility
- Generally, everyone in the class does the same exercises
- Limited tailoring of programs and not specific to your body’s preferred movement patterns
- Large number of people in the class
Clinical Pilates
