What is the difference between clinical Pilates & Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is run by physiotherapists, exercise physiologists or movement therapists who have undergone human body training to help manage and prevent injuries. Before participating in a class, it is highly advised to be thoroughly assessed by a clinical Pilates instructor. This can help you understand the concepts of Pilates and reap the potential benefits, learn how to activate your core and ensure all your exercises are tailored to your specific needs. Clinical Pilates is essential for anyone with a history of injuries, as specific exercises may aggravate particular conditions if not completed correctly. During a clinical Pilates class, your teacher will constantly monitor your technique and, where necessary, progress your exercises. 'General Pilates', (i.e. gym instructors run the classes as fitness classes) can involve exercises that are not tailored to meet the client's specific needs, and there are often many people in a class. This means it is difficult for the instructor to ensure proper technique or give options for specific conditions, making it inappropriate for people with injuries or special requirements. Doing the wrong exercise can be detrimental and could make your condition worse.

Should I see a Physiotherapist or an Exercise Physiologist?

The answer to this question depends on your specific needs and health condition.

If you are experiencing pain or movement restrictions due to an acute injury or recent surgery, a Physiotherapist may be a better choice. Physiotherapists are trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions, and they can provide manual therapy, exercise prescription, and other techniques to help you recover from your injury or manage your symptoms. They can also provide education on injury prevention and safe exercise practices to help you maintain your physical function and prevent future problems.

If you are looking to improve your overall health and fitness or manage a chronic injury or condition. Exercise Physiologists can design and implement individualised exercise programs that are tailored to your specific needs and health goals. They can also provide education on lifestyle modifications such as nutrition and stress management to help you achieve optimal health and well-being.

In some cases, you may benefit from seeing both a Physiotherapist and an Exercise Physiologist.
